Who was your childhood idol/role model?
I grew up listening to Bette Midler and Motown, so music itself was a massive icon in my life growing up, if that makes sense!
What did you want to be when you grew up?
I recently found an old picture that I drew when I was about five or six, and I wrote that I wanted to be a lawyer and a Silver Fern! I completed two years of law, so it’s kind of half true?
What’s your favourite Disney movie and why?
It would have to be The Incredibles, only because I like how it showcases that no family is perfect, but perfectly imperfect.
Last book you read/movie you watched?
I watched Avengers: Infinity War last night, and I’m currently reading The Courage to be Disliked.

Oprah’s Super Soul podcast.

What living person do you most admire?
I’m lucky to have so many amazing friends and people I admire in my life.
My family is pretty great, Mum and Dad for sure. But my brother Nathan is someone who I look up to a lot. Plus my work brothers, Brook and Fame. They’ve taught me so much about life and always listen to my boy problems, ha ha! I love them.
