Oscar Maximilian Jackman Early Life

Oscar Maximilian Jackman was born on May 15, 2000. Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness adopted him after facing two miscarriages. Even though they couldn't have biological children, they were determined to have a family and fulfilled their dream by adopting Oscar. 

Oscar is biracial, which means he has a mix of African-American, Caucasian, Hawaiian, and Cherokee heritage. Hugh and Deborra went through tough times with miscarriages, which made them realize they couldn't have their own children. So, they chose to adopt Oscar, who has a diverse background. Oscar grew up with his younger sister, Ava Eliot Jackman. 

Jackman's biological mother was Amber Lanham from Vinton, Iowa. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2005, and details about his biological father are not known. Amber shared that she only saw her son in magazines with Hugh before her tragic death.  

Oscar has two biological sisters named Nyomi and Olivia Lanham, who were raised by their aunt Rochelle. Their maternal grandfather, Thomas Lanham, never got to meet Oscar as a baby, and he expressed his wish to see him in an interview with the National Enquirer in 2016. Sadly, he passed away in late 2018 without meeting his grandson.  

Jackman posted on Instagram, expressing his pain over losing a grandfather he never had the chance to meet. Despite the distance, Oscar stays in touch with his sisters, Olivia and Nyomi, and occasionally visits them in Iowa.
