Hugh Jackman's Longtime Friend Says Actor's Last Couple of Years With Deborra-Lee Furness Were 'Difficult'
Worland shares a strong bond with Jackman, and the friends have known each other since childhood. While making an appearance on the Ben Fordham Live show, the TV personality claimed that no one wants to go through something as painful, especially in public.
Gus' statement came after Furness talked about her 'traumatic journey of betrayal' and claimed the divorce to be a 'wound that cuts deep.'

In conversation with the podcast host, Worland shared, 'No one wants anyone to go through what they've been through, and, of course, they go through everything publicly because of the type of people and the fame that they have.'
He further added, 'One thing that I've been really strict on, or disciplined on, is to let them do what they've had to do. I was over in New York with [Jackman] just last month and he's fine. He is going along well. He's moving on with his life and I hope that Deb does as well.'
Having known each other for so long, Worland and the Logan star have been godparents to each other's first child.
Jackman, who had been married to the Australian actress for three decades, shares two kids with her, Oscar and Ava. Further in his talks on the show, the TV star shared that the couple had been together for a really long time.
He went on to state, 'I just go to the kids and go, 'What can we do to make sure that they're going to get through this as well as possible?''
Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness announced their separation in September 2023, soon after their Met Gala appearance in May of the same year.

Jacob Elordi reveals he skipped meals, sat overnight in makeup chair to transform into the creature in Frankenstein
Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is one of the most anticipated films of the year. The adaptation will star Oscar Issac as Victor and Jacob Elordi as the Creature. Ahead of the film's release later this year, the actors sat down to talk about the film with Variety, where Jacob opened up about the process of transforming into the Creature, which demanded a total surrender from him. (Also read: 'This should have a wide theatrical release': Frankenstein trailer leaves fans wanting a big screen experience) Australian actor Jacob Elordi plays the Creature in Frankenstein. (Photo by Ronny HARTMANN / AFP)(AFP) How Jacob transformed into the Creature During the interaction, Jacob shared that he would arrive at the makeup trailer as early as 10 p.m. on the previous day. He would stay up all night to undergo the time-consuming transformation into the Creature. During the free moments in between, Jacob would practice the unsteady walk and gestures of the Creature in front of the mirror in his hotel room. He said, "You throw time away when you make a film like this. I stopped having a clock, and I would just wait till the SUV arrived. That meant it was time to go. I didn't do breakfast, lunch or dinner, or think in terms of morning, afternoon, night. It was just one time.' Why Jacob was cast Guillermo also revealed that Jacob was the last cast member to join the film after Andrew Garfield dropped out before shooting was set to begin. The Academy Award-winning director said that Jacob was cast for his eyes, sharing that they were 'full of humanity.' The film also stars Mia Goth, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley and Charles Dance. The film's official logline reads, 'A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation." Frankenstein will have a three-week theatrical release starting on October 17, before premiering on Netflix on November 7.
