In the 1980s image — where Jackman said he “was maybe 17” years old — the then-future actor wore a light-colored suit as he stood outside amid a grassy landscape, pulling a hilarious (and not-entirely-unlike-Wolverine!) face at the camera.

“I was the assistant (to the assistant) of the footy team.#throwbackthursday,” Jackman recalled in the caption.

TheGreatest Showmanactor was also seenout for a walk with Reynoldsin New York last month, just days after he and wifeDeborra-lee Jackmanannounced theirsplit after 27 years of marriage.

While the mutual decision was amicable, a source close to the pair told PEOPLE in September that they are “devastated” and that the split is “very hard” for them.

“Itwas not a snap decision— they took a lot of time and consideration of everything, and they made this decision together,” the insider added. “They are going on separate journeys, but they will always be a family. They’ll always be co-parents and best friends.”

As their relationship begins a new chapter, the source said there’s no acrimony between Hugh and Deb, 67, whoshare two children: son Oscar, 23, and daughter Ava, 18.

“This has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that they’re on different journeys right now,” said the source.
