‘In many ways that has been a bonus, the silver lining has been quality time that I thought wouldn’t happen again,’ he continued.
The Greatest Showman star said that he and his family were keeping themselves occupied by doing puzzles together, playing games, watching movies and baking.
Hugh added that he was able to finish watching Stranger Things, Succession and Ozark on Netflix with his 15-year-old daughter, Ava.

While Hugh appears to have adjusted to life under lockdown, the X-Men actor recently revealed his growing concerns for his children.
Speaking to WHO magazine in May, he said: ‘I mainly worry for my kids right now. I’m not scared for myself.’

‘I am worried about them, their mental state, school, not being around friends and the disruption,’ he added.

‘We stay home for all of our family, and for all the people working in essential services. All the doctors and healthcare workers,’ Deborra-lee said.
