Former H&A: Jordi Webber Reveals Spartacus Secrets, Tarot Predictions & His Dream of Fatherhood.
Home and Away alumni Jordi Webber is stepping into his most powerful era yet, and fans may be shocked to learn that his biggest career breakthrough was foretold long before the cameras ever rolled. Fresh from his time in Summer Bay, the New Zealand-born actor has emerged as one of the standout faces in the brutal historical epic Spartacus: House of Ashur, and his journey there reads like destiny written in the stars.

After closing the chapter on Home and Away, Jordi’s life entered a period of transition. He traveled across Europe, relocated to Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, and sought clarity about what lay ahead. In a surprising twist, a tarot reading late in 2023 offered a cryptic clue that would soon change everything. The reader reportedly told him a “warrior” was coming into his life — words that seemed abstract at the time but became chillingly accurate weeks later.
Just one month into the new year, an audition landed on his desk. As Jordi began exploring the character, he felt something click instantly. The role wasn’t just a part — it felt physical, instinctive, and deeply familiar. Soon after, he secured the role of Taran, a dangerous and volatile gladiator in the Spartacus reboot, marking the largest project of his career to date.
Stepping onto the massive set was both exhilarating and intimidating. The franchise’s devoted fan base brought intense pressure, and the physical demands were relentless. A full month of combat and endurance training pushed Jordi to his limits, forging strong bonds among the cast. By the time filming began, the actors felt like true warriors — disciplined, bruised, and battle-ready.
The experience drew on Jordi’s lifelong love of movement. From martial arts training in earlier action roles to his Polynesian heritage, wielding swords and mastering fight choreography felt natural. Even the more vulnerable scenes challenged him in unexpected ways. Filming intimate moments tested his confidence, but ultimately became empowering — forcing him to embrace strength, vulnerability, and self-belief.
Off-screen, Jordi’s life has been just as full. After celebrating the end of filming in Bali, he ticked Machu Picchu off his bucket list and now dreams of exploring Egypt next. Music remains another creative outlet, with travel-inspired songs reflecting his personal growth. One of his tracks was even written as a message to a future daughter — a hint at the dream that quietly drives him.
Despite his busy career, Jordi admits fatherhood is something he deeply wants, though not before the timing is right. He speaks openly about wanting to create a stable, loving environment before bringing a child into the world. Guided by his parents — especially his fiercely adventurous mother — he carries a philosophy of living boldly and without fear.
Looking ahead, Jordi plans to test his luck in Los Angeles in 2026, aiming for film roles in major franchises while continuing to write his own stories. His passion project, inspired by his Māori heritage, reflects his belief that identity is a strength, not a limitation.
For Home and Away fans watching his rise, one thing is clear: Jordi Webber’s journey is only just beginning — and it seems the cards knew it all along.
Stay tuned for more movie spoilers next week. Goodbye and see you again.
