Actor Hugh Jackman feels he has got the best of both worlds splitting his time with his family between New York and Australia.

The 45-year-old 'Wolverine' star lit New York's Empire State Building in green and gold for Australia Day yesterday and says he's very happy that he, his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness and their children Eva, eight and Maximilian, 13, get to live there, reported Huffington Post.

"Australia is our home. We've been there, but New York has been our base for awhile. We love living here, the opportunities are incredible, particularly for my job.

"It means I can work internationally and still be at home a lot more. You know, we miss Australia a lot, but New York is a great city and it's a great place to bring your kids up," Jackman said.
 

"And we go back to Australia a lot. I shot three movies here in the US in the last five years, so we've been back there two-and-a-half years in the last five years. Deb and I feel we get the best of both worlds," he added.
