In a surprising turn of events, Deborra-Lee Furness, the 68-year-old actress and former wife of Hugh Jackman, has broken her silence on her life post-divorce. The Hollywood power couple shocked fans last September when they announced the end of their 27-year marriage. Since then, both Jackman and Furness have kept a low profile, refraining from further public statements - until now.

Furness recently made an appearance at the red-carpet premiere of her new movie, "Force of Nature: The Dry 2," on January 23rd. It was a significant moment for the actress as she shared her mixed emotions about the new chapter in her life, now that Jackman is no longer by her side.

"It is kind of exciting," Furness revealed to the Daily Telegraph. "You know what, change, transition, evolution is a little frightening and we are all a bit scared of it, but I think it is probably our greatest gift."

Following the revelation of the details of her marriage, Furness threw herself into her work. She expressed her enthusiasm for the new movie, citing a great script by Jane Harper and being directed by Robert Connolly. Furness also mentioned her love for Eric Bana and the opportunity to shoot in the wilds of Australia, which brought her back home.

During the interview, Furness was notably without her wedding ring, signaling a new chapter in her life. She and Jackman released a unified statement to People last fall, affirming their separation and their intention to pursue personal growth while putting their family as the highest priority. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, the pair has maintained a solid friendship, with Furness happily joining Jackman to celebrate his 55th birthday last October.

While details of their individual lives after the divorce remain private, it is clear that Furness is embracing the changes in her life with a mix of excitement and trepidation. Fans will undoubtedly continue to support both Furness and Jackman as they navigate new paths and pursue their respective careers.

As fans eagerly follow the latest Hollywood splits and divorces, the enduring friendship between Jackman and Furness serves as a reminder of the strength of their bond and the importance of kindness and gratitude during times of transition.
