INTERVIEW w/ MATT WILSON
NEIGHBOURS, FITNESS AND TRAVEL
Matt Wilson plays Aaron Brennan in the popular Australia soap drama NEIGHBOURS. Matt has allowed us here at POPCORN HUB to talk with him about Neighbours's recent WIN for the Best Soap Drama Award here in the UK. Also his passion for travel and his thoughts on having his own Health and Fitness televised show.
How did it feel winning the Best Daytime Soap and knowing you have a strong UK Audience here who love Neighbours?
"Because of the time zone we all woke to the news and were ecstatic. We love our UK fans and make every episode with them in mind. Thank you so much."
What will you do when you reach 5 years in Neighbours? Any milestone celebrations or ideas?
"I’m only just coming up to three years filming on the show so it seems a while away yet. For toadies twenty years he had his face printed on stubby holders. For five years, I’d make Alan Fletcher wear a t-shirt with my face on it for two weeks straight."
You travel and work out and have done some great blogs for various people too! Let's talk about that: What blogs have you written? Where do you like to travel? What have you enjoyed and learned on your adventures?
"For a while there I would do a weekly blog for Express online. I wrote about the experiences I’ve had over the last three years making the transition from a building site to a soap opera. I also have a little Instagram page @goaustravel that I sometimes post to whilst I’m travelling. I’d prefer to holiday in a picturesque destination rather than a party town. Visiting places that are stripped back to bare minimum resources teaches you to be self reliant, be more resourceful and gives you a better appreciation of the world we live in. It keeps you grounded and grateful."
Would you like to present a show about travel or health and fitness?
"I would love nothing more than my own travel show. When I explain some of the places I’ve been too, a lot of people don’t believe they exist. We’re lucky enough to have phones to take great photos today, but creating a show out of it would be next level."
