The sighting comes as Fisher’s ex-husband promotes his latest film Ali G: Who Iz I? — a reprisal of his iconic street hooligan Ali G 26 years after he emerged on Da Ali G Show.
The film opened in Australian cinemas with very limited screenings, and is now available to stream on Amazon Prime.
The WA product, 50, has also been busy on the circuit as she rolls out comedy film Spa Weekend.
Centring around four friends who retreat to a luxury spa for a raucous couple of days, Fisher stars alongside genre favourites Leslie Mann, Anna Faris and Michelle Buteau.
Residing in London, she shares three kids with the British actor, 55, whom she divorced in June 2025.
Furness’ most notable recent screen role came via the 2024 Aussie production of Force of Nature: The Dry 2, which followed Eric Bana’s 2020 myster-thriller The Dry.
The industry veteran split from Jackman in 2023, with the Wolverine star this week offering a tribute to Star Trek actor Patrick Stewart following his death aged 86.
“We lost one of the greats of stage and screen today,” Jackman wrote in an Instagram post.
“And, in my book, a tremendous friend and man. I learned so much from him. I will miss you, Patrick Stewart, all of my days.”
