At one moment during the outing, Hugo was also seen having an animated conversation with a woman, who appeared to be a passer-by.

Hugo first met Katrina when he was four years old as they lived across the road from each other in Sydney, but didn't properly get to know each other until years later when Hugo was at drama school.

They started dating in the 1980s when they were both in their mid 20s and later welcomed two children,Harry and Holly.

Hugo has recently kicked off a theatre stint performing in The President at theRoslyn Packer Theatre in Sydney.

The Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert star has taken on the leading role in the theatre masterpiece alongside Irish actressOlwen Fouéré.

In the show, the duo play the President and First Lady of a small, unnamed country, whose regime is under siege.

The couple appear frozen in time, despite a revolution brewing outside their front door, and the play follows both the unravelling political system and their complex marriage.

The new adaptation of the rarely-performed 1975 Thomas Bernhard play, directed byTom Creed, will be running until May 19, and tickets ranging from $80 to $155.

Also starring in the theatre production are the likes ofJulie Forsyth,Kate Gilmore,Bryan Burroughs andDaniel Reardon.

Hugo recently told how he has turned away from Hollywood and towards theatre in his career because it feels the most rewarding job for him.

He told The Guardian:'I go into an extreme place when I'm working in theatre. I can't work hard enough and there is never enough time, and then the rewards start coming with that.'

'My focus has always been in Australia,' he told the Today show back in 2021. 'I've worked for the Sydney Theatre Company for 40 years now.'

'I tend to favour local productions over working overseas. My first choice of roles, I always look for things here, for working on film here.'

'I do work in Australia. I've never lived in Los Angeles, I hate the place. I'd much rather live and work here and work on great Australian scripts,' he added.
