In the post, a face-masked Jackman told fans that his symptoms are that of a “cold” and a “scratchy throat, and a bit of a runny nose.” Other than that, the actor says he is feeling “fine” and is “just gonna do everything I can to get better ASAP.” Jackman also assured viewers that he would be “back on stage, heading to River City” as soon as he was able.
