Los Angeles, May 3 – Van Helsing, the first big summer blockbuster, hits theaters this week, and it seems the gay rumors followed star Hugh Jackman out to the West Coast. At the premiere on Monday, Hollywood types were buzzing that “Broadway made Hugh gay”. (Van Helsing is a vampire flick – we can’t wait for the blood-sucking rumors!) Jackman, currently wowing Broadway in The Boy from Oz, attended the premiere with wife Deborra-Lee Furness and his ubiquitous male assistant, who never left their sides. Costar Kate Beckinsale also had a sticky pubicist in tow – he wanted to be in all the photos. Famke Janssen, Brendan Fraser and Beau Bridges with his family all came to see Jackman hunt down Dracula.
