How did you get your big break?
Hugh Jackman came up with an idea for a TV show and put me in it! It was called An Aussie Goes
Barmy, which was on Fox 8. And that was the start of me in media after being a laptop salesman for
15 years before that!
What are your daily news media habits?
First thing I do is check all the sports pages – and then I read the papers in full, but it’s the back
pages first!
Which living person do you most admire?
My 84-year-old mum Janelle. She pretty much raised me single-handedly and even today is that
positive inspiration that keeps me going.
Your guilty streaming pleasure?
The Crown, I love the most recent season – I’ve always loved Princess Diana, never understood Charlie’s choice there!
Gus Worland loves watching the Netflix show The Crown, starring Dominic West as Prince Charles and Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana.
Which phrase do you overuse?
At the end of the day…
What did you want to do when you grew up?
It sounds so lame, but I wanted to do exactly what I’m doing now. When I was 18, I wrote on paper
what I wanted to be – and it said: “I want to be on radio, talking about sport.“
