They’ve been best friends since kindergarten, so Hugh Jackman and Gus Worland undoubtedly have a few stories to tell.
Speaking to The Kyle & Jackie O Show on Friday, Gus, 52, revealed his A-list pal once had to mop up his vomit after he threw up in another big-time star’s trailer.
Initially teasing who the celebrity was, the radio host later revealed that it was John Travolta, who he affectionately referred to as ‘JT’.

Gus revealed he’d been on a film set with Hugh, 52 – who he calls ‘Jacko’ – when they decided to head back to his trailer to unwind.
‘We’re in Jacko’s trailer, a knock on the door, and this other celebrity goes, “Hey. Why don’t you come over and have a drink? We’ve got a night shoot starting in about three hours, but why don’t we get a few beers?”‘ he recounted.
Gus said he and Hugh made their way over to John’s trailer, which was ‘much bigger’, with the 67-year-old Hollywood heavyweight offering them Cuban cigars.

‘I am talking to this guy, and I’m struggling to get the words out because I’m so excited that I’m in his company,’ he continued.
‘Anyway, Jacko and I are chatting away, and I’m drinking a little bit too quickly, I’m overexcited.
‘I find myself in a position where I’m starting to go a little bit whoopsy, and Jacko’s looking at me going, “Are you okay, mate?” I’m going, “No, I’m fine, I’m fine.” I don’t want to spoil this moment, right?’

Gus revealed he was ‘hammered within about an hour’, at which stage he realised he was going to be sick.
He said they were sitting in a ‘horseshoe’ shape, and he tried to quickly ‘shimmy out’, but admitted it was ‘difficult’ because of the way they were seated.
‘I don’t quite get to the door of the trailer, and I throw up everywhere. And Jacko of course being an Australian understands that it’s funny,’ he recounted.

‘But this other guy, he is not Australian, so he has no sense of humour, and he starts shouting at Jacko for laughing at me, and gets Jacko to mop the whole thing up, and that takes Jacko about 20 minutes to do it.’
Despite getting off to a rocky start, Gus said he’s ‘stayed mates’ with John, describing him as ‘just lovely’.
But he said he still ‘reminds me all the time’ of the vomit incident, having seemingly not moved on from it.
