The 42-year-old Australian actor has been married to fellow thespian Deborra-Lee Furness since 1996, and they are often cited as one of the strongest couples in showbiz.

Being married to the greatest woman on the planet helps, he smiled when the British edition of OK! magazine asked the secret to wedded bliss. Theres not a day when shes not making everything fresh and alive. Shes the most optimistic person I know. People may come to meet me because they know me from movies but by the end of the meeting they all prefer Deb.

One of the qualities that Hugh most admires in his wife is her bubbly personality. He also appreciates all her efforts to keep the sparkle in their romance alive.

She literally lights up a room, he gushed.
