What are you most passionate about?

I have always had a passionate desire to interview all the living Batman feature film actors in one room and discuss how they played the role differently. it would be set up like a Jimmy Fallon tonight show.

Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, George Clooney, Val Kilmer and Robert Pattinson if you are reading this give me a call.

What is your favourite sport/favourite sporting moment?

Witnessing Richmond win the 2017 premiership was a moment I thought I’d never get to see especially after a 37-year drought, and what has happened since, as they say in the classics, the rest is history.

What event past or present would you like to witness?

Queen’s performance at Live Aid in 1985 and being able to witness Freddie Mercury work a crowd over 70,000 thousand in Wembley would be amazing. I have seen the performance on DVD so many times but to be there would be phenomenal.

Which six dinner guests, dead or alive, would you invite to dinner?

John Lennon, Cathy Freeman, Winston Churchill, Jack Dyer, Ingrid Bergman, Michael Buble

What are you currently listening to/watching or reading?

Currently reading Dustin Martin’s second book The Story Continues. The insight and the humble beginnings of just a boy from Castlemaine to where hard work has got him to is very special.

Where is your dream holiday destination?

One of my dream destinations would be simple old England, just to be able to experience the sights and sounds and go to places I’ve only seen in film and TV. I would love to go to the Lord’s Cricket Ground just to get a sense of the history. Being a Beatles fan doing the crosswalk at Abbey Road would be a pinch-yourself moment.

What is your favourite colour and why?

Being a young and fanatical Richmond supporter growing up its hard to go past Yellow and Black even though we never saw much success, I was always hopeful.

What’s one question you have never been able to get the answer to?

Where do those little clips at the top of the bread get made and who makes them or do they just appear.
