Hugh Jackman is reportedly in the "early stages" of working on an explosive memoir.

In an exclusive interview, an insider told Us Weekly the Tony-winning actor is planning to open up about his life "like never before."

"Hugh's choosing to [write this book] now because he's finally [being] honest with himself [and] the divorce, and this book is the first step," they said.

To the shock of many, Jackman and long-time partner Deborra-Lee Furness recently announced their divorce after 27 years of marriage. The duo first met in 1995 on the set of the Australian television series, Corelli.

"We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth," their joint statement read.

The statement continued by stressing that their focus remains on their family. Jackman and Furness share two children, Oscar,23, and Ava, 18.

"Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness," they said.

"We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives."

The actors have remained tight-lipped about the inner workings of their relationship since its dissolution. When approached by paparazzi on the street in New York City last month, Jackman simply described it as a "difficult time."

The source indicated Jackman will include "big bombshells" in his memoir, adding: "The content will be Hugh speaking about his life... It's been very healing for him."
