TV star Jessica Tovey stars in Australia’s top soap “Home and Away” but when she’s away in New Zealand she feels right at home.
Tovey, whose father is a Kiwi and mother is author Libby Gleeson, spoke to Sunday News:
And the 21-year-old admitted she would even leave New South Wales to settle in the South Island.
“I’m very proud to be half Kiwi,” Tovey told Sunday News. “I could definitely live in New Zealand.
“I do love Sydney and the city noise but I think New Zealand has this incredible calming effect on me and a much bigger appreciation for nature.
“Most of the family I have on my dad’s side live in Christchurch, including his mum and sister, (so) I’d probably live near Christchurch near my family.”
Other Australians of New Zealand descent include actor Russel Crowe and musician Keith Urban
This is an interview with Jessica and co-star Drew Curtis discussing “Home and Way“.
