Hugh Jackman has found a shoulder to cry on amid his divorce from wife Deborra-Lee Furness. 

The 54-year-old has reportedly forged a close friendship with Australian pop star Betty Who, 31, thanks to their shared interest in the theatre. 

The pair caught up last week when Hugh visited Broadway to watch Betty perform in the musical Hadestown, and even posed arm-in-arm with the singer backstage. 

Betty, who is married to photographer Zac Cassar, exuberantly captioned the image of the pair beaming together: ‘MY COUNTRYMAN!!!! [Australian flag emoji].’ Thank you for coming to see us in Hadestown and being so kind!!!!!’
