<p>In fact, the 40-year-old actor, who is also the father of two says he is “sure” that Madonna “is coming from a good place.” He adds, “I challenge anyone who thinks you adopt a kid for a publicity stunt. Any parent knows that would have to be the most intensive publicity stunt in the world.”<br /><br />The Wolverine star and wife Deborra-Lee Furness turned to adoption, themselves, after suffering through multiple miscarriages. “But we always planned on adopting anyway, even if we had our own biological children,” he explains. <br /><br />Hugh and Deborra are parents to Oscar Maximillian, 9 and Ava Eliot, 3. The couple has been thinking about adopting again, but doesn’t want to press their luck. <br /><br />“Our first child was not the easiest of babies, which is why we left it five years before the second,” Hugh admits. “Our second was a dream baby. But there is also the reality of all the additional work a third child would entail.”<br /><br />“Every time we get on a plane with our two kids and are all crammed in together, we think maybe we will leave it at what we have.” <br /><br />Talking about adoption, the X-Men star says, “There are 130 million orphans in the world — who is looking after them? If you are a citizen of the world, on some level they are all our responsibility. And if you have got parents who want to adopt and there are children who need a home, it seems like a no-brainer.”</p>
