Speaker 2 (00:00):
Hello.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
We get to know you more in a minute.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Freddy.
Speaker 4 (00:05):
But oh my god, Peter Andre is in the building
right in front of me, and you have aged well,
you look great.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Thank you so much. You know I'm not doing bad
for one hundred and three.
Speaker 5 (00:13):
I love being back home. I can't even tell you.
And thank you for the compliment. By the way, it
is just amazing to be back. And Mum and Dad
live on the Gold Coast. It's so nice when.
Speaker 6 (00:24):
You jump off the plane here on the Gold Coast,
do you A lot of people talk about the Gold
Coast Hug you get on the steps to get down
off the plane, you just know, you hear, you smell
the sea.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Yeah, and I was I had this overriding thought of
a Yattler pie.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
As I was driving down, I go, mate, I know
it's between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and he's going, yep,
it's right there. And of course it was closed because
it was late. I have to get a yellow pie.
I'm here.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Why years ago, when you were doing sit ups, that's
exactly then, but you can now that's exactly now.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You're here for the Gold Coast film festival, which is awesome.
And Freddie, you have created this film, did you create
it for Peter or had you written at first and
then found him, because you know, in Mysterious Girl, there's
a little bit of you know, Jamaican style kind of
singing at the beginning of it.
Speaker 7 (01:16):
Now, do you know what? So I had the idea
a few years ago. I was the biggest ja Fakan
growing up. I mean, my parents are from Nigeria, but
I grew up in the eighties and at that time
I was wearing Jamaican clothes MC and on Jamaican sound systems,
eating Jamaican food and then going home and getting phoned
out of the kitchen in a Nigerian accent. So I've
always had this whole concept of more of an endearing term,
(01:38):
like not quite a Jamaican. So I had the idea
for Ages, and I'd worked with Peter previously on a
few projects, and I thought, you know what, he's a
real talented actor, and I thought, let me give him
the opportunity. So I auditioned him alongside sixteen other people.
He knows that now, he didn't know before, but yeah,
I auditioned him alongside sixteen other people, and he literally
smashed his audition. Yeah, he killed him, man, he killed
(02:00):
his audition. So yeah, after that, it was a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So what is the film Faken about?
Speaker 7 (02:05):
So I guess the name is in the title. Jeffacin
is a fake Jamaican. It's about a character from Australia
who gets thrown out of Australia for his wheelings and dealings,
comes to the UK to live with his grand and
his grand is in a care home quite elderly, and
he normally pays the care home fees and then he
gets a massive bill which he can't afford, so he
(02:26):
tries all these different ways to try and raise the
money to pay it, and then eventually he is about
to give up, and then he overhears a conversation which
takes him to Jamaica to pull off a heist that
is impossible basically, but because he loves his grand so much,
he's prepared to try it and it takes him on
the hilarious, high obtained, fun filled journey.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Does he have to pretend to be Jamaican? Is that? Yes?
Speaker 7 (02:48):
Just is that he's got to copy somebody over there
that looks just like him.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Chaadae. This is your first film.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Though, right, it's my first as a lead I did.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
I did some short films in America when I was
I say late forties as if it was years and
years ago. But about forty seven I did my first
short film and I did a few short films in America,
and then I did a small part in one of
Freddy's last movies, which was you know, quite a controversial movie,
and I was he gave me the partner. I was like, Okay,
(03:20):
I hope I can pull that off. And then after
that he said I've got something.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
He didn't tell me.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
He was auditioning other people, but he said that I
think you'd be great at So yeah, it's my first lead.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So how are you liking the acting?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Like, oh, I love it? Yeah, I did it as
a kid.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Funny enough, at school I failed in music, which is
could probably explain a few things, but I actually failed
in music, but in drama I was one of I mean,
I really excelled in that and I went on to
study acting. But then when I got offered the deal
by Molly Meldrum, I was like, I am going for this. Yeah,
and I went and I never looked back. But I
always knew at one point I'd come back to acting.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And deep down that that was like your skills set
in love.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Well, I think the music because because of the adrenaline
that came with it, that became my first love. But
then as you get older, you kind of think, you know,
you can't compete like that anymore. And I think as
you get older, you start to want to do things
I don't know. Substance, Yes, you can't find the rights
and this is it.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Now let's talk about your acting at Banoa High.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Do you remember being in Drucula Spectacular and being dragged?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Guy?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Did you see it?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I did not, But one of the guys that works here, Christo,
who can't be here today because his dad's really sick,
he performed in it with you and he's dined out
on it for years.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
He's actually your best friend.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
If he could get footage of that. Do you know
that the drama teacher was missus Fry. She was she's
I love her, she's her son was my best mate
and he was also in this.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Is that Joe Rosters?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No? But I remember Joe Okay apparently good friend to him.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Joe was a great friend Christian Fry was was he
was lead with me, I think, And it's his sister
that has introduced me.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
This is mad.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
It's his sister and her husband who have introduced me
to Jess who owned Radioactive to get the film in
this premiere.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, I guess it's mad.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Basically, it's come full circle.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And the first place I ever performed was at Hotel I.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Don't know how you pronounce it hot even though it's
got one tea, but I'll take that. Yeah, And I
performed there for the first time thirty two years ago,
and that's where we're premiering the film on the same
full circle. Wow, mad, Yes, So Victoria and Christian Christians
flying up today, so I'm going to get to see him.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Joe Rosters, where does he live now?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And the other guy has he got Christo Christo? Has
he got any footage that? Oh my god, we'll hook
you up after.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Sorry, I'm just taking notes. I've won't stop to tell
people in Lone Talking.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Could be another movie.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Just write this down, Joe Rostus.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Get all the details. We'll look after you well. I mean,
it's lovely that you still remember it. So well, because
a lot of people say I was in direct spectacular
with Peter Andre.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
That was great.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
I I actually those days for me. I come back
and I go past Bannowa High School and I just
I get I get that feeling of it's a bittersweet
feeling because obviously I'm you know, I'm happy I'm not
a child anymore, but also some of those memories.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Happy times. Yeah, it's nostalgia, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Especially Yeah, your primary was a little more difficult because
we were the only ethnics, so that was a little
bit more tough.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But when we got to high school, it was just
it was just brilliant.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
I was reading today in the papers because you're obviously
doing all of the interviews that you felt so out
of place. That's why you got the rig because you
felt if people were looking at your body, they wouldn't
be looking at your Greek features. And I didn't even
know you had a notice job.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I did me too high.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Fun you.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
That just for the record, ladies and gentlemen, yours looks
much better. But I I, yeah, I was picked on
a lot, and I had the curly hair and the
big Greek nose with that lump and so I became
really parallel, and people used to take whenever they would
take pictures, even in family pictures, I'd always like, try
and be fron On and it was ridiculous. Yeah, and
(07:24):
then and then eventually when I got to I think
I was doing a track with Montell Jordan, and I thought, right,
this is my big thing.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
We're in America, We're going to film. I want to
look great.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
So I went to an American surgeon took a picture
of Robert Downey Jr. In a film called Only You.
I don't know if you've seen a brilliant film years old.
And I took a side profile of Robert Downey Jr.
And went in and I said, could you make my
nose like this? Obviously he didn't twins Roberts anyway, And
(07:52):
so the minute I did that, I still kept training.
But I never took my shirt off again in any video.
So up until then, I'd worked so hard because I thought,
if people are looking there, they're not going to see
what I see.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
But who would have thought that that was a psychological
thing for you? You know, everyone else would just want
to focused on your achievement and getting so fit.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And healthy, and it is a bit.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You know, you think of it as been a bit
vain sometimes, but actually I think you just when you're young,
things can affect you in a different way. You know,
someone might say something to you and you might be like,
I don't care, and but someone said something to me,
and it obviously moves a trauma.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Can I ask you this then? Because I have this thought.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
So I've had a nose job, so my nose looks
different to how I was growing up.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And now my children, I don't know which nose they're
going to get their dad or their moms.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What do you say to your kids?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Whose nose are they getting?
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Me?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Do you know what you had done?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
We're right?
Speaker 7 (08:53):
This is this whole humor that he's got comes from
his dad.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
It's a good question, though, because I wonder that, Yeah,
when they're born, I'm like, is that my original nose?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
It's a really interesting thing. I didn't go crazy though,
I just wanted to get rid of the bit that
I hated so much.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You know, but do you talk to your kids about it?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Because I've seen yours.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I'm like, hang on a sea, yeah, can I take
a side?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You can go too far. You did it.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Your kids are stepping into the public eye as well.
Like Princess's social media following is huge, She's so gorgeous. Yeah,
and I only know her because of my daughter's same
age and following each other.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Well, I say to them, and I you know, maybe
I'm a bit of an annoying old school dad, but
I'm like, guys, yes, you can have a social media presence,
Yes you can post, Yes you can be what they
call influences, but you've got to get out there and
you've got to work your butt off, like you have
to do that because we I come from a really
driven background, Like we're driven. We want to achieve, a chieve, achieve,
(09:53):
And I know it's not always healthy to do that
because then if you don't get where you want to get,
do you feel let down? But I'm just trying to
to teach them that the social media side is great.
But what happens if all of a sudden there's a
ban on social media?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What are you going to what are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Then?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Sorry, I was just walking away from the mic. I
thought I was on stage.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But I guess that you teach process rather than in result.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Yeah, right, yeah, and you try and teach what your
parents taught you. But my parents were so strict. I'm
trying to find that in between. So it's like the balance.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Well, we're here for the movie, you're fake in. Yes,
they coming to the movie, you know when it's premiering.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Have they seen it already?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Both both generations, your family here and your family there.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
My family here are coming tomorrow night.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
So it's at the Gold Coast Film Festival tomorrow night,
which we feel very honored about. And then so my
dad's coming, who hasn't been out for ages, he hasn't
gone to an event for ages. So I said, Dad,
we'll get you a nice suit. My sister's going to
be their mum obviously can't unfortunately. And then when we
go to England, we're going to do probably a VIP
(10:56):
kind of screening and we're going to invite friends and
family to that. So yeah, so the big ones here
tomorrow night, but a lot of my like my wife
and kids couldn't be here.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, they got school.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Well done on your wife. Great name she has she's
she's got.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
An awesome name name as well. There's something here going on.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I remember reading all about it when you first got together,
and I was like, oh, thank god, you pick somebody normal.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
She seems like she's awesome.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
She is a very very nice person.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Just a normal show busy, very calm. That's what I
mean by that.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
She's not how do I explain it, She's She's definitely
made me become like I now look back at me
being a twenty year old or a teenager, thinking, oh
my god, you were arrogant. I think of all these
things that I regret that I was like because she's
brought out this sort of really calmness in me, and
I'm I probably always had it there, but I just
(11:52):
didn't sprinkled you with a bit of Mate's Emily's around
the world very good.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I did.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Oh yeah I did.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
And one more question from me because I know I'm
asking a lot, but it's Peter Andre Goldkost, So just
calmed down.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Gully can ask question later.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Because the script, as you were saying, Freddie, is about
somebody in a home and trying to get money. You know,
does that was that close to home for you because
you've recently had to look after your mommy?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
It really is.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
That is such a brilliant question because when Freddy when
Freddy had the Nan in the care home. In this scene,
she and I hope you don't mind me saying this,
not far she this woman was so wonderful and she
got so nervous she forgot her lines and Freddie kept
rolling because actually her forgetting the lines was so much
(12:42):
more sincere than her knowing the lines.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
So when you see a scene.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
With her in it, she's almost trying to remember what
she has to say. But it really it really made
me feel like that's how my mum is at the moment.
She can't really get her words out. So something that
she forgot ended up being so authentic in the filming.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Yeah, it's my mom passed away from dementia. So a
lot of the characters in the film again that the
Fakan character was me when I was growing up. The
nun was my mum, and so my mom used to
forget names and forget things. So like just said that
when lady was forgetting things, it just reminded him with
my mom, and it was so authentic, and I thought
(13:21):
it was a good way to also on her.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Well, it's great you gave it the actress the space
and then kicked off really well.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Yeah, We've had such a good time. And imagine filming
in Jamaica. I'd never been to Jamaica before. And I
said to him, if we do this, can we actually
go to Jamaica? And he said, of course. All I
wanted to do was meet these iconic legends like Sizzler
and Oliver Samuels, who I loved. But all I wanted
to do was try the food.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
That's excited to eat the food that was We got there, guys,
he wants to go to Kentucky.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
Wait wait, wait, wait wait. In my defense, my defense,
I eat Caribbean food all the time.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yeah, yeah, and I go.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
I go to Jamaica like two three times a year
every year. So like when I'm working, I'm like.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Can I just have one Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
One wing?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Like, please help me.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Some dreams were fulfilled, others would not.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Well, the premiere is happening, and you're you're gonna be
performing as well.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Well, when they said to me, you know, would you
get up and do a song or two, I'm like, yeah,
and you have to ask me once. But and more
so because it's on the exact same stage that we
did at thirty ten. Oh yeah, it's a bit of fun,
you know, if if you guys are up for it,
come down have fun.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I am there, I got my tickets. Are you guys
are almost sold out? I think it might be sold out.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
No, all, you've got to be quick.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You got to be quick. It's small about tickets.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
But now that we've said this, I'm sure they'll be gone,
knowing there's a performed, mysterious girl.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, but we haven't got bubbler ranks with us. I
was just gonna.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Ask you to do it.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I used to wrap.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
I'm the only British rapper ever signed to Wu Tang clan.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
So really, yes, that's added to your credibility straight away.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
You better not be near the front because I will
get you up.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
With these crutches and everything else.

And thank you for the compliment. By the way, it
is just amazing to be back. And Mum and Dad

Speaker 6 (00:24):
You jump off the plane here on the Gold Coast,
do you A lot of people talk about the Gold
Coast Hug you get on the steps to get down
off the plane, you just know, you hear, you smell
the sea.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Yeah, and I was I had this overriding thought of
a Yattler pie.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (00:42):
As I was driving down, I go, mate, I know
it's between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and he's going, yep,
it's right there. And of course it was closed because
it was late. I have to get a yellow pie.
I'm here.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Why years ago, when you were doing sit ups, that's
exactly then, but you can now that's exactly now.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
You're here for the Gold Coast film festival, which is awesome.
And Freddie, you have created this film, did you create
it for Peter or had you written at first and
then found him, because you know, in Mysterious Girl, there's
a little bit of you know, Jamaican style kind of
singing at the beginning of it.
Speaker 7 (01:16):

Speaker 1 (02:03):
So what is the film Faken about?
Speaker 7 (02:05):
So I guess the name is in the title. Jeffacin

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Does he have to pretend to be Jamaican? Is that? Yes?
Speaker 7 (02:48):
Just is that he's got to copy somebody over there
that looks just like him.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Chaadae. This is your first film.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Though, right, it's my first as a lead I did.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
I did some short films in America when I was
I say late forties as if it was years and
years ago. But about forty seven I did my first
short film and I did a few short films in America,
and then I did a small part in one of
Freddy's last movies, which was you know, quite a controversial movie,
and I was he gave me the partner. I was like, Okay,
(03:20):
I hope I can pull that off. And then after
that he said I've got something.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
He didn't tell me.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
He was auditioning other people, but he said that I
think you'd be great at So yeah, it's my first lead.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So how are you liking the acting?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Like, oh, I love it? Yeah, I did it as
a kid.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Funny enough, at school I failed in music, which is
could probably explain a few things, but I actually failed
in music, but in drama I was one of I mean,
I really excelled in that and I went on to
study acting. But then when I got offered the deal
by Molly Meldrum, I was like, I am going for this. Yeah,
and I went and I never looked back. But I
always knew at one point I'd come back to acting.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And deep down that that was like your skills set
in love.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Well, I think the music because because of the adrenaline
that came with it, that became my first love. But
then as you get older, you kind of think, you know,
you can't compete like that anymore. And I think as
you get older, you start to want to do things
I don't know. Substance, Yes, you can't find the rights
and this is it.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Now let's talk about your acting at Banoa High.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Do you remember being in Drucula Spectacular and being dragged?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Guy?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Did you see it?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I did not, But one of the guys that works here, Christo,
who can't be here today because his dad's really sick,
he performed in it with you and he's dined out
on it for years.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
He's actually your best friend.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
If he could get footage of that. Do you know
that the drama teacher was missus Fry. She was she's
I love her, she's her son was my best mate
and he was also in this.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Is that Joe Rosters?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
No? But I remember Joe Okay apparently good friend to him.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Joe was a great friend Christian Fry was was he
was lead with me, I think, And it's his sister
that has introduced me.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
This is mad.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
It's his sister and her husband who have introduced me
to Jess who owned Radioactive to get the film in
this premiere.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, I guess it's mad.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Basically, it's come full circle.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
And the first place I ever performed was at Hotel I.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Don't know how you pronounce it hot even though it's
got one tea, but I'll take that. Yeah, And I
performed there for the first time thirty two years ago,
and that's where we're premiering the film on the same
full circle. Wow, mad, Yes, So Victoria and Christian Christians
flying up today, so I'm going to get to see him.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Joe Rosters, where does he live now?
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
And the other guy has he got Christo Christo? Has
he got any footage that? Oh my god, we'll hook
you up after.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
Sorry, I'm just taking notes. I've won't stop to tell
people in Lone Talking.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Could be another movie.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Just write this down, Joe Rostus.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Get all the details. We'll look after you well. I mean,
it's lovely that you still remember it. So well, because
a lot of people say I was in direct spectacular
with Peter Andre.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
That was great.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
I I actually those days for me. I come back
and I go past Bannowa High School and I just
I get I get that feeling of it's a bittersweet
feeling because obviously I'm you know, I'm happy I'm not
a child anymore, but also some of those memories.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Happy times. Yeah, it's nostalgia, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Especially Yeah, your primary was a little more difficult because
we were the only ethnics, so that was a little
bit more tough.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But when we got to high school, it was just
it was just brilliant.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
I was reading today in the papers because you're obviously
doing all of the interviews that you felt so out
of place. That's why you got the rig because you
felt if people were looking at your body, they wouldn't
be looking at your Greek features. And I didn't even
know you had a notice job.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I did me too high.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Fun you.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
That just for the record, ladies and gentlemen, yours looks
much better. But I I, yeah, I was picked on
a lot, and I had the curly hair and the
big Greek nose with that lump and so I became
really parallel, and people used to take whenever they would
take pictures, even in family pictures, I'd always like, try
and be fron On and it was ridiculous. Yeah, and
(07:24):
then and then eventually when I got to I think
I was doing a track with Montell Jordan, and I thought, right,
this is my big thing.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
We're in America, We're going to film. I want to
look great.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
So I went to an American surgeon took a picture
of Robert Downey Jr. In a film called Only You.
I don't know if you've seen a brilliant film years old.
And I took a side profile of Robert Downey Jr.
And went in and I said, could you make my
nose like this? Obviously he didn't twins Roberts anyway, And
(07:52):
so the minute I did that, I still kept training.
But I never took my shirt off again in any video.
So up until then, I'd worked so hard because I thought,
if people are looking there, they're not going to see
what I see.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
But who would have thought that that was a psychological
thing for you? You know, everyone else would just want
to focused on your achievement and getting so fit.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And healthy, and it is a bit.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You know, you think of it as been a bit
vain sometimes, but actually I think you just when you're young,
things can affect you in a different way. You know,
someone might say something to you and you might be like,
I don't care, and but someone said something to me,
and it obviously moves a trauma.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Can I ask you this then? Because I have this thought.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
So I've had a nose job, so my nose looks
different to how I was growing up.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And now my children, I don't know which nose they're
going to get their dad or their moms.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
That's interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
What do you say to your kids?
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Like?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Whose nose are they getting?
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Me?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Do you know what you had done?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
We're right?
Speaker 7 (08:53):
This is this whole humor that he's got comes from
his dad.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
It's a good question, though, because I wonder that, Yeah,
when they're born, I'm like, is that my original nose?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I can't.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
It's a really interesting thing. I didn't go crazy though,
I just wanted to get rid of the bit that
I hated so much.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You know, but do you talk to your kids about it?
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Because I've seen yours.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
I'm like, hang on a sea, yeah, can I take
a side?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You can go too far. You did it.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Well.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Your kids are stepping into the public eye as well.
Like Princess's social media following is huge, She's so gorgeous. Yeah,
and I only know her because of my daughter's same
age and following each other.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Well, I say to them, and I you know, maybe
I'm a bit of an annoying old school dad, but
I'm like, guys, yes, you can have a social media presence,
Yes you can post, Yes you can be what they
call influences, but you've got to get out there and
you've got to work your butt off, like you have
to do that because we I come from a really
driven background, Like we're driven. We want to achieve, a chieve, achieve,
(09:53):
And I know it's not always healthy to do that
because then if you don't get where you want to get,
do you feel let down? But I'm just trying to
to teach them that the social media side is great.
But what happens if all of a sudden there's a
ban on social media?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What are you going to what are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Then?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Sorry, I was just walking away from the mic. I
thought I was on stage.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
But I guess that you teach process rather than in result.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Yeah, right, yeah, and you try and teach what your
parents taught you. But my parents were so strict. I'm
trying to find that in between. So it's like the balance.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Well, we're here for the movie, you're fake in. Yes,
they coming to the movie, you know when it's premiering.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Have they seen it already?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Both both generations, your family here and your family there.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
My family here are coming tomorrow night.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
So it's at the Gold Coast Film Festival tomorrow night,
which we feel very honored about. And then so my
dad's coming, who hasn't been out for ages, he hasn't
gone to an event for ages. So I said, Dad,
we'll get you a nice suit. My sister's going to
be their mum obviously can't unfortunately. And then when we
go to England, we're going to do probably a VIP
(10:56):
kind of screening and we're going to invite friends and
family to that. So yeah, so the big ones here
tomorrow night, but a lot of my like my wife
and kids couldn't be here.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Yeah, they got school.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Well done on your wife. Great name she has she's
she's got.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
An awesome name name as well. There's something here going on.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
I remember reading all about it when you first got together,
and I was like, oh, thank god, you pick somebody normal.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
She seems like she's awesome.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
She is a very very nice person.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Just a normal show busy, very calm. That's what I
mean by that.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
She's not how do I explain it, She's She's definitely
made me become like I now look back at me
being a twenty year old or a teenager, thinking, oh
my god, you were arrogant. I think of all these
things that I regret that I was like because she's
brought out this sort of really calmness in me, and
I'm I probably always had it there, but I just
(11:52):
didn't sprinkled you with a bit of Mate's Emily's around
the world very good.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I did.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Oh yeah I did.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
And one more question from me because I know I'm
asking a lot, but it's Peter Andre Goldkost, So just
calmed down.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Gully can ask question later.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
Because the script, as you were saying, Freddie, is about
somebody in a home and trying to get money. You know,
does that was that close to home for you because
you've recently had to look after your mommy?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
It really is.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
That is such a brilliant question because when Freddy when
Freddy had the Nan in the care home. In this scene,
she and I hope you don't mind me saying this,
not far she this woman was so wonderful and she
got so nervous she forgot her lines and Freddie kept
rolling because actually her forgetting the lines was so much
(12:42):
more sincere than her knowing the lines.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
So when you see a scene.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
With her in it, she's almost trying to remember what
she has to say. But it really it really made
me feel like that's how my mum is at the moment.
She can't really get her words out. So something that
she forgot ended up being so authentic in the filming.
Speaker 7 (13:01):
Yeah, it's my mom passed away from dementia. So a
lot of the characters in the film again that the
Fakan character was me when I was growing up. The
nun was my mum, and so my mom used to
forget names and forget things. So like just said that
when lady was forgetting things, it just reminded him with
my mom, and it was so authentic, and I thought
(13:21):
it was a good way to also on her.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Well, it's great you gave it the actress the space
and then kicked off really well.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Yeah, We've had such a good time. And imagine filming
in Jamaica. I'd never been to Jamaica before. And I
said to him, if we do this, can we actually
go to Jamaica? And he said, of course. All I
wanted to do was meet these iconic legends like Sizzler
and Oliver Samuels, who I loved. But all I wanted
to do was try the food.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
That's excited to eat the food that was We got there, guys,
he wants to go to Kentucky.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
Wait wait, wait, wait wait. In my defense, my defense,
I eat Caribbean food all the time.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Yeah, yeah, and I go.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
I go to Jamaica like two three times a year
every year. So like when I'm working, I'm like.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Can I just have one Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
One wing?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Like, please help me.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Some dreams were fulfilled, others would not.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Well, the premiere is happening, and you're you're gonna be
performing as well.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Well, when they said to me, you know, would you
get up and do a song or two, I'm like, yeah,
and you have to ask me once. But and more
so because it's on the exact same stage that we
did at thirty ten. Oh yeah, it's a bit of fun,
you know, if if you guys are up for it,
come down have fun.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
I am there, I got my tickets. Are you guys

Speaker 2 (14:38):
No, all, you've got to be quick.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
You got to be quick. It's small about tickets.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
But now that we've said this, I'm sure they'll be gone,
knowing there's a performed, mysterious girl.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yeah, but we haven't got bubbler ranks with us. I
