Hugh Jackman has admitted he’s yet to master the microwave in his hotel room as he quarantines in Sydney.

A frustrated Hugh confessed that he was up to day 11 in his mandatory 14-day quarantine, and he was still having to heat his food in 30-second increments.

‘Alright, this is morning 11. This is my microwave and I still don’t know how to…’ he began in a video, which showed him reaching for the ‘start’ button on his microwave.
‘When I press “start”, I get 30 seconds, and so I just keep pressing it every time, because I don’t know how to put on more. Can someone please explain? Please?’
The seemingly high tech microwave didn’t feature the usual time buttons, with just ‘start’, ‘stop/clear’, ‘auto cook’, ‘power level’, and up and down buttons available.

‘I believe you should keep pressing start and it will keep adding 30 seconds each time. That’s how mine works at least,’ wrote one person.

‘Hit power level and the up/down arrows I think,’ added another, while one person advised, ‘GIVE UP AND GO BACK TO THE BLUEBERRIES’.
A seemingly bored Hugh has been keeping himself amused by practicing throwing blueberries into his mouth, sharing his progress with his fans on Instagram.
Hugh recently returned to Australia from his home in New York City, and revealed on Monday that his family had treated him to takeaway ricotta pancakes from Bills restaurant in Sydney for US Father’s Day, calling the dish his ‘absolute favourites’.
