Hugh Jackman Stalked By A Razor-Wielding Woman

The weekend was far from usual for Hugh Jackman as he worked out at a gym in New York City.

A woman reportedly expressed her love for the actor while chasing him with an electric razor last Saturday, the publicist of the actor and the police revealed.

Alan Nierob, the publicist of the actor, revealed that he was more startled instead of being terrified. He added that the actor thought that the woman was holding a weapon.

Sgt. Tom Antonetti, spokesman for the New York Police, indicated that Katherine Thurston, a resident of Manhattan, was charged for stalking the actor.

It was uncertain if Thurston has a lawyer to represent her, and she was unavailable for comments on the incident. Hugh Jackman revealed that he had seen the woman outside the school of his daughter and his home.

According to Jackman and a witness, the woman pulled out the razor while inside the Gotham Gym and followed the actor around for a period of time.

Thurston was seen by a trainer entering the gym. Mike Castle indicated that the woman was crying while going pas the check-in desk, and went straight towards the actor. He added that she dropped the razor after he stepped in between her and Hugh Jackman.

Antonetti reportedly said that the actor asked the woman not to touch him. She also left upon the arrival of security. However, she was promptly arrested on the street.

Castle added that the actor was able to handle the situation and he was a really nice guy.

Jackman received an Oscar nomination for his role on “Les Misarables” and won the best performance award for an actor in a comedy or musical motion picture at the Golden Globes for the same role.

Hugh Jackman will also star in the upcoming movie “The Wolverine,” which is set to hit the big screen by summer.
