If you’re a fan of Eric Bana, you probably know him from Troy, Hulk, or Kath Day Knight’s celebrity crush in Kath & Kim.
On the silver screen, the 56-year-old gained national recognition in the Australian TV series Full Frontal, however, his breakout role came in the form of Chopper (2000), in which he received not only critical acclaim but also catapulted him into the international spotlight.
While his acting prowess may have made him one of Australia’s most recognised Hollywood stars, fans have also grown curious about his life away from the camera.
Who is Eric Bana married to?
Eric Bana has been married to his wife Rebecca Gleeson since 1997.
While not much is known about the couple’s early relationship, Eric and Rebecca reportedly first crossed paths in 1995 on the set of Full Frontal, with Rebecca working as a publicist for the Seven Network at the time.
Since tying the knot in 1997, the couple have kept their romance largely out of the spotlight, however, Eric and Rebecca have been spotted together recently at the premieres for Eric’s most recent project, Force of Nature: The Dry 2.
Does Eric Bana have children?
Eric Bana and Rebecca Gleeson have two children together: a son, Klaus, born in 1999, and a daughter, Sophia, born in 2002.
While the young family spent much of their early life away from the spotlight, Eric described fatherhood as “the most rewarding job.”
“It’s the one that takes the most amount of thought and energy, but it’s worth every bit of energy you put into it. It’s the best thing,” he told the Daily Telegraph.
Following in her father’s footsteps, Sophia shared in 2022 that she was planning to make a step into the acting world after completing her university studies, telling the Herald Sun, “Acting has always been something I am passionate about and hoped to pursue… However, I’m not putting pressure on myself to launch into it and instead am focusing on enjoying the process and learning.”
