Deborra-Lee Furness has found a friend to lean on following her shocking split from husband of 27 years, Hugh Jackman.

The actress, 68, has jumped back into the world of acting since the separation and has formed a solid friendship with Hollywood star Eric Bana.

According to Woman’s Day, the pair quickly became pals while working on the set of Force of Nature: The Dry 2 together.

‘She and Eric had a great time filming and were set buddies from day one. She’s getting a real kick out of co-starring with him,’ an ‘insider’ allegedly told the publication.

‘Having Eric around on her first foray into acting in a long time was a huge comfort to her.’

Delivering the news with a united front, they told their fans they separated ‘to pursue our individual growth’.

‘We have been blessed to share almost three decades together in a wonderful, loving marriage,’ the couple said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

‘Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.’

The pair tied the knot in 1996 after crossing paths on the set of Correlli in 1995, and share two adopted children: son Oscar, 23, and daughter Ava, 18.
