A quick chat with Hugh Sheridan

There’s lots of blokes on-set. Do you do boy things between takes?

There’s lots of laughing. We play Hacky Sack and stuff.

Who’s your cast bestie?

The actor and musician, 31, has brought the drama to Nine’s House Husbands, being involved in “a massive chainsaw fight” in his first scene as music teacher Nick and sharing “a cheeky pash” with co-star Delta Goodrem. He has also brought irony: “At school, I couldn’t stand my music teacher,” he tells WHO’S Kate Halfpenny. “He hated me, I hated him.”

Gary Sweet is easily the most fun person I’ve ever worked with. He’s hilarious. We’ve got a real brotherly kind of thing. Our characters are supposed to hate each other and it’s become difficult because he just cracks me up. My agent said, “How’s it all going on House Husbands?” and I said, “Great, but I can’t work with Gary Sweet.” It would be a good blooper reel.

Would you be a good house husband?

I am reasonably domestic. I have, like most guys, four or five dishes I can cook, but I tend to wait until all my washing needs doing, there’s nothing left to wear, then I do it. One day I’m sure I’ll settle down and have kids and work it out.

You can sing, dance, act. Which Hugh is our biggest triple threat—you or Jackman?

If I can be put in the same category as him, I’d be very happy. He’s extraordinarily talented. A dance and sing-off with Hugh? I’d be 100 per cent up for it.

Is it true you’d like to star in a Bee Gees TV miniseries?

Oh my God, how do you know that? I don’t want you to tell everyone because they’ll steal the idea. We did the INXS thing, which was so much fun and it’s like the hot thing to do, but nobody’s done a Bee Gees one. I’m such a huge fan. I’d love to play Barry.
