Hugh Jackman Announces the Passing of His Dog Dali

We have a lot of love for celebrity dogs here at ComicBook.com, and two of our favorites have always been Hugh Jackman’s French Bulldog, Dali, and Terrier-Poodle mix, Allegra. Sadly, Jackman revealed on Instagram today that Dali passed away at age 11. The Wolverine star often showcases his pups on social media and he shared some adorable images of him and Dali today to honor his memory.

“It’s a very sad day for our family. Dali, our beloved Frenchie, passed away last night. He would’ve been 12 next month … which I’m told is a long life for this breed. I always, always called him the ROCKSTAR. Because he was! He marched to the beat of his own drum, was beloved by the whole world, and boy did he have a good life. We will miss him but know he’s howling in heaven, ruling the roost and enjoying the all you can eat buffet. RIP Dali Rockstar Jackman. We love you!” You can view Jackman’s post below:

In addition to sharing posts of Dali and Allegra, Jackman also often shared throwbacks to his X-Men days. Jackman first appeared as the iconic character in X-Men in 2000 when he was only 32 and his final performance came in 2017’s Logan. Since then, the actor has said that his days of playing the part are officially over. Last July, Jackman “broke the Internet” when he took to Instagram to share a photo of himself with Marvel Studios president, Kevin Feige, immediately after sharing Wolverine art by BossLogic. Fans thought the star was teasing an upcoming appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe despite his past claims that he was done with the character. Last year, ComicBook.com had the chance to chat with Jackman about his recent movie, Reminiscence, and the star set the record straight about his back-to-back Marvel posts.

“I literally was re-posting fan art and I do it quite a bit because I just love it. And I love the fans. And then I was off doing something and I came back and I’m like, ‘Oh, I think I broke the Internet. No, no, no, no. Guys, sorry. Didn’t mean that. I really didn’t mean that. I’m really sorry.’ And I thought, ‘No one’s going to believe me.’ But that was the case. And you guys are just too fast for me. Clearly way too fast and smarter than me,” Jackman joked. “I just love the fans. And so, when cool things come my way, I’m going to pass it on.”
