Hugh Jackman receives warnings for getting too close to iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree while celebrating his first holiday following divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness.

Hugh Jackman celebrated his first holiday season in nearly 30 years solo following his shock split from longtime love Deborra-Lee Furness.

The 55-year-old Australian heartthrob didn’t let the single life get him down though and woke up ‘really early on Christmas morning’ to check out the world’s most famous Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center.

Jackman took to social media to let his followers in on a festive New York secret: first thing Christmas morning is the best time to see the tree without the crowds. His visit didn’t go as planned, however, as the A-lister got too close to the tree and was admonished by security.

‘I highly recommend getting up really early on Christmas morning and taking a walk to see the Rockefeller Christmas tree,’ Hugh captioned a social media post.

Adding: ‘It’s so beautiful and not crowded at all. I did get in trouble for going beyond the barrier but the security guard was nice and let me go with just a warning.’

Clearly the security guard didn’t know he was scolding Wolverine.

If Hugh was upset about his first Christmas since divorcing his wife of 27 years, he didn’t show it on social media.

The night before on Christmas Eve Hugh took to his Instagram Stories, to share a photo of himself relaxing at a restaurant with longtime pal Pat Schoenfeld.

Hugh and Pat have been friends for years and have attended a number of Broadway shows together, with Hugh previously referring to Pat as his ‘theatre date’ on social media. 

Hugh was also a close friend of Pat’s late husband Gerald for a decade before his death in 2008.

The actor even penned the foreword in a biography about Gerald written by Pat after his death, titled ‘Mr. Broadway: The Inside Story of the Shuberts, the Shows, and the Stars by the late Gerald Schoenfeld’. 

‘It’s so beautiful and not crowded at all. I did get in trouble for going beyond the barrier but the security guard was nice and let me go with just a warning.’

The security guard probably didn’t recognize the A-list actor

Hugh and Deborra-Lee, 67, shocked fans when they announced they were divorcing in September.

‘We have been blessed to share almost three decades together in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,’ the couple said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

‘Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition.’

The former couple signed the statement as ‘Deb and Hugh Jackman,’ adding: ‘This is the sole statement either of us will make.’

The pair had tied the knot in 1996 after crossing paths on set of Correlli in 1995.

During the course of their marriage, they adopted two children: son Oscar, 23, and daughter Ava, 18.
