And for the September issue of Australian Men’s Health, Shane Warne spoke about the incredible bond he shares with 22-year-old son Jackson.

The 51-year-old cricket legend said that they have become like ‘best mates’, living together for the past four or five years and travelling together.

‘We do everything together. As well as father-son, we’re like best mates,’ Shane said.

‘His interests and my interests are very similar, probably because he’s lived with me for so long and he’s been around my friends.’ 

Shane, who also shares daughters Brooke, 24, and Summer, 20, with ex-wife Simone, went on to reveal his main hopes for Jackson.

‘For all my kids I want exactly the same thing: I just want them to find someone they’re happy with, and to be happy.

‘I really don’t care what job they do or if they find someone they’re happy with on the couch every night. Because success… it’s different for everyone,’ he said.

Jackson is a star on the rise, having appeared on Channel Seven’s military-style reality series, SAS Australia, last year.

In October, Jackson admitted that he was keen to get his ‘hands dirty’, having lived a ‘pretty comfortable life’, in an interview with the Daily Telegraph.  

‘As someone who has lived a pretty comfortable life their whole life, hasn’t really had to struggle for much, didn’t really have a tough childhood… I wanted to show just because I have all these nice and easy things, I can still do the tough stuff.

‘I can still get my hands dirty and crawl around in the mud,’ he said.   

Jackson reiterated these thoughts in an Instagram post at the time, explaining what prompted him to appear on the gruelling TV show. 

‘Whilst I was happy with my life and very content with my day to day, I felt that I was almost too comfortable and something was missing,’ he began.

‘I was doing the same thing, eating the same food and stuck with the same thoughts, caught in this cycle. I needed a change.

‘So why did I do it? Simple answer… ‘get comfortable being uncomfortable’.’
