  • Hugh Jackman Felt Fearful, 'Powerless' As A Boy
Actor Hugh Jackman, who was abandoned by his mother at a young age, says it had a drastic effect on his life.
 
"From the moment mom left, I was a fearful kid who felt powerless. I was the youngest. I used to be the first one home and I was frightened to go inside."
 
"I couldn't go into the house on my own. I'd wait outside, scared, frustrated. Growing up I was scared of the dark. I was scared of heights," Jackman told Parade magazine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
 
"It limited me. I hated it, and that contributed to my anger. Isn't most anger fear-based, ultimately? It emanates from some kind of powerlessness. I was really feeling that."
