Short filmTranscript
00:00I am the most expensive male escort in Sydney.
00:03In an ideal world, I'd love to look into modeling.
00:05Because what I'm doing now is not sustainable.
00:07Not to kink shame, but like, I've done some crazy shit.
00:10I've quit my job, but I need to find a way to pay for the bills.
00:14I'm going to become an artist.
00:15You're unemployed and then you're trying to make money off art.
00:18I don't know if it's the best idea.
00:20Here it is.
00:22In a non-weird way, can I smell it?
00:24Yeah, you can smell it.
00:25The product inside doesn't match the ingredients.
00:28Legally, we can't sell it.
00:29I thought it was going to make me hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:31Now I've lost $25,000.
00:34And I've got $2,000 of each.
00:36Your eyes are as green as the grass.
00:38The date with Berlin went so well today.
00:40He shoots.
00:41He scores.
00:43What happened?
00:44At the moment, I'm feeling very rejected.
00:46I wish I was a monogamous person.
00:49Open relationship.
00:50Not for me, personally.
00:51And on top of it, the fact that she's bisexual.
00:54Yeah.
00:54It's even more like, whoa.
01:05Did you see the comments on my Daily Mail interview?
01:09Mm-mm.
01:10No.
01:12There was quite a handful of comments saying, get this guy on maths.
01:15Get this guy on maths.
01:17He'd be perfect for maths.
01:18Maths, maths, maths, maths, maths, maths.
01:19And I thought about it, actually.
01:24And maybe it would be a good story, right?
01:25The escort trying to find love.
01:27It's poetry.
01:27Do you want to find a wife, or do you want to be on TV?
01:30A thousand percent.
01:32Yeah, yeah.
01:33Of course I want to find a wife.
01:35Would anyone want to marry an escort?
01:37I think is more the question.
01:40I think someone walking down the aisle and saw me would be like, fuck's sake, this guy.
01:45This tattooed idiot from Bondi.
01:48Do you not think people would want to be partnered up with you?
01:51I think it would take a certain type of lady to accept my past.
01:58And supposedly, it's to find love, right?
02:00And you might end up with a wife at the end of it.
02:02And I might.
02:03And I might end up with a wife.
02:05Wow, what a thing to say.
02:09Imagine being married.
02:18Hello.
02:20I'm good, I'm good.
02:21How are you today?
02:23We're filming the new James Bond trailer.
02:27I've been in Australia for two years.
02:30And let's just say, I'm never going home.
02:33I was locked away in the UK, so I just thought, you know what?
02:36I'm going to take the plunge.
02:38Broke up with my ex-girlfriend and flew here.
02:40Serial heartbreaker.
02:41International heartbreaker, I guess you could say.
02:43I didn't even really know about, like, the eastern suburbs before I came to Australia.
02:46It was just like, when I walked up to Sydney, I just knew to come to Bondi.
02:49But it's mainly a judgment-free zone.
02:51Like, I know if I was running along the sand or in the park in the UK and screaming into
02:56my phone like I do here, picking up grannies at the beach.
02:59Like, people would probably frown upon it.
03:00But here, it's just every day.
03:02Picking up grannies at the beach, is that a thing?
03:05I've done it a few times.
03:05Physically picking them up.
03:07Pick them up at the sand and then carry them onto the concrete.
03:10Makes their day.
03:13What's happening?
03:14You know, obviously, I'm here on a visa.
03:16Yeah.
03:16I went to go renew my visa and my passport had expired.
03:22My head's scrambled.
03:24It's a sad day.
03:25It looks like I'm going to have to leave Australia for good.
03:28Are you genuinely, are you actually sad?
03:31Yeah, mate.
03:32I'm shitting it.
03:33Like, I'm actually shitting my pants.
03:38Nice.
03:41I've quit my job, but I need to find a way to pay for the bills.
03:45Hopefully, I can become an artist and sell enough pieces to do that.
03:48Nice to meet you.
03:49Nice to meet you, too.
03:50I went to look for some advice and I got his lap in the face.
03:53What happened?
03:54I thought it was just a good idea to go visit some art galleries.
03:58Yeah.
03:58I met up with this guy.
03:59He's been in the industry for over 65 years.
04:02Yeah, it was just a bit, it was a bit scary.
04:04Yeah.
04:05And tell me, have you got aspirations and a plan and ambition and so on?
04:10I don't know about a plan, Stuart.
04:12Yeah, right.
04:12Ambition, yeah, for sure.
04:16Now, have you got something to show me today?
04:19Is it...?
04:19I actually do.
04:20So that's the last one.
04:21I think I got the collar just right to match with your shoes.
04:24Well, you're certainly making your presence felt.
04:29It's not necessarily the sort of work that we show here.
04:33That was quite brutal to be honest.
04:35Yeah?
04:35Yeah, it was a reality check kind of thing.
04:37But I'll tell you the bad news is you can't wake up in the morning and decide to be an
04:40artist.
04:41Mm-hmm.
04:42You won't make any money for a long time.
04:43You may never make any money.
04:45So it's a long slog.
04:46In today's world, too many things are called good when they're not.
04:50Being an artist, it's a job.
04:51It's as difficult as rowing to Tasmania in an open boat without a compass.
04:55Don't do it.
04:56Do something else.
04:58I thought he was just going to be nice and gentle.
05:01Yeah, go.
05:02You're doing great, sweetie.
05:04And that's not what it sounded like.
05:06You have to learn how to paint.
05:08It's like an apprenticeship.
05:09You've got to go and learn how to do it.
05:10You can't not go to art school.
05:12You've got to go.
05:14You don't know, right?
05:15I do know.
05:15And you're like, well, apparently you're the expert.
05:16So I guess I'm going to art school.
05:19Yeah.
05:19Be truthful about what you're doing and find your own way of expressing it.
05:24You've got to be careful of people saying how marvellous you are.
05:27I've seen your art though.
05:28Like, isn't an artist meant to be the person and what they create?
05:32You can't teach that, right?
05:35Surely you just need to lean into finding someone who is, I guess, leaning into the future of
05:40art, right?
05:41And isn't saying you need to go to art school.
05:44I think we need to also find a female for you to look at and see what she has to
05:49say.
05:49Yeah.
05:50So maybe that's what I need to find next.
05:51Yeah.
05:52There's definitely a reality check.
05:53If I'm willing to be a poor starving artist, probably not.
06:03What's happening?
06:04You know, obviously I'm here on a visa.
06:06Yeah.
06:07I went to go renew my visa and my passport had expired.
06:10You need that passport then to reapply for the visa.
06:13Mmm.
06:13Been a few hiccups in the road.
06:14Oh, what do you mean?
06:15I've been frantically on the phone to like the passport office.
06:17They're like, yeah, sorry, mate.
06:18There's nothing we can do.
06:19You have to get it from England.
06:20What's the worst case scenario?
06:22It's getting sent over in the mail.
06:23Yeah.
06:23If it doesn't get here next week, I'm out of it.
06:26Next week?
06:26Next week.
06:27Like, if I stay and it doesn't come in time, a 20 grand fine, booted out of the country
06:33and then banned from Australia for three years.
06:35Fingers crossed.
06:36My passport gets here.
06:37So it says estimated in five days time.
06:41Passport, express, express, delivery.
06:42But like, if anything gets held up.
06:45I spent two years building my dream life for it to be stripped away like this.
06:50I would be completely devastated if I had to leave.
06:53I mean, to be fair, there's enough English people here as it is.
06:56They should be stricter on you guys, I reckon.
06:59I can't put it into words.
07:01I'm smiling and laughing, but like genuinely deep down.
07:04Nah, it's not good.
07:06I'm shitting it.
07:07What about your chick?
07:12Have you told her what's going on yet?
07:21What about your chick?
07:22Have you told her what's going on yet?
07:25I've been in many sticky situations, but I've got to say, this is the stickiest.
07:31I've been taking my time with Berlin, taking it like slow and steady,
07:35but it looks like I'm going to have to leave Australia.
07:37I don't want my first kiss to be a goodbye at the airport.
07:40I've got to nail it.
07:42I've got to speed this thing up.
07:44I literally just got things rolling.
07:45We've been on like two or three dates going so well,
07:48like finally getting some good connection with someone in the East.
07:50Had to come by that.
07:51And now, yeah, mate, like couldn't be better suited.
07:54And now it's going to be stripped away.
07:56How many dates has it been now?
07:57Any cheeky behaviour?
07:59Ooh.
08:00Yeah.
08:00I've held her hand.
08:01Yeah.
08:01Real baby steps, you know, like no smooching, no tomfoolery, no shenanigans.
08:06Just like a...
08:07You usually take it this slow or what's the...
08:09Nah, never.
08:09You know, I usually never.
08:11It would be a struggle if I had to leave.
08:14Like I don't see how it's going to work.
08:15Yeah, 100%.
08:16Long distance ain't an easy feat.
08:18Nah.
08:19I mean like, if you do go,
08:21are you all good if I give Berlin a call or...?
08:27You're a bastard.
08:28Yeah, you're a bastard.
08:29Talk about kicking a man when he's down.
08:32I'm there pouring my heart out to this guy,
08:34and he goes,
08:35oh, yeah, go on, give me Berlin's number.
08:37Hold on, my man.
08:39You ain't focusing on the right thing here.
08:41Like, what's going on?
08:46Okay, so when were you going to tell us about your passport issues?
08:49Ooh, I don't know, really.
08:50It was just like I was trying to figure it out by myself first,
08:52before I told you lot.
08:57In future, you just always need to just be open and honest with us.
09:02Because we're working with you, not against you.
09:04Okay, yeah.
09:05I thought it was just going to be this huge issue where, like,
09:07I'm coming to you with potentially having to, like,
09:10not be able to film for a week, two weeks, three weeks,
09:12whenever it may be.
09:13And then you guys would just be like,
09:14oh, fuck, what?
09:15We just put all this time to this guy for nothing.
09:17He's just fucking off.
09:18So you didn't want it to ruin your position on the show?
09:20Yeah.
09:21That was my thoughts.
09:23Like, because it could have got to the stage where,
09:25like, it would have just rocked up the next day.
09:27You lot would have been none the wiser.
09:28I would have just gone like, oh, yeah, look,
09:30my visa's approved.
09:31You'd be like, great.
09:32You would have never known, I think,
09:34now that I know that you guys are, like,
09:35on the same team as me, like, yeah,
09:39I'll be a bit more open.
09:40But, like, in my head, I was just...
09:41Same team as you, Henry.
09:42Come on.
09:43I know, I know.
09:44I know that now.
09:45But, like, yeah.
09:46Now? We've always been like that.
09:47I know, I know.
09:49You'd rather know than not.
09:50Yeah.
09:50Yeah?
09:51I've learnt my lesson.
09:52You can spank me on the wrist if you want.
09:54My bad.
09:55Silly me.
10:04I think for me to leave escorting, the dream would be,
10:07probably to go into modelling.
10:10So, you keep saying that you want to be a model,
10:12but what are you actually doing to make that happen?
10:16I don't really know, honestly,
10:18but I think I need to make a portfolio.
10:20I think that's the first step in being a model.
10:22Make a portfolio,
10:23and then you just fire it at people
10:25and hope that they like it.
10:27I'm trying to advance onto this world of modelling, right?
10:29Made absolutely no progress.
10:31Right.
10:32What am I doing wrong?
10:33Can you get the tattoos?
10:34Probably.
10:39I think what we could do is maybe have it where we...
10:44It's like this.
10:45Whenever there's a play, you have to stop.
10:47Oh, yeah.
10:49It's a fucking nightmare.
10:50I think it's just the way we're marketing it.
10:52I think we lean into it heavily with the look of the suit,
10:55where it covers up the tattoos but still shows a tiny bit,
10:58so there's a bit of mystery there.
11:00I've not even had an acceptance email,
11:02like, thanks for your application, like, nothing.
11:04If I thought you had no hope,
11:05I wouldn't be wasting my time coming here to take photos.
11:08Wasting your time?
11:09Go a tiny bit further back so you're a bit more...
11:12The leaves are juxtapositioned to your tattoos.
11:15OK.
11:15Everyone thinks that...
11:16Yeah, making me more natural.
11:17Yeah, so you're in nature.
11:20So modelling to me makes sense, right?
11:22Yeah, that's perfect.
11:23I feel like you don't need a good education,
11:25you don't need to be intelligent.
11:26If I can stand still and look pretty in clothes and make money,
11:30just embrace it, let's give it a go.
11:31If you've got a few you're happy with,
11:32I won't fucking worry about it.
11:34I haven't yet.
11:35You haven't?
11:36No.
11:36But it's not working.
11:39Back to escorting, I think.
11:41Change out of the suit,
11:43we're gonna go into the shop.
11:44Yep.
11:44And then we're gonna try a completely different look.
11:48I absolutely love posting content,
11:51creating content, working with brands.
11:53It's literally just putting yourself out there to be honest.
11:57I have been posting a lot about myself, who I am,
12:02the sort of workouts and training I do, my lifestyle,
12:04and also my transformation.
12:05So a lot of people see the transformation like,
12:07hey, I look like that, or hey, I've been there.
12:09Often, I would just use it for inspiration.
12:11Like, I'd love to get on Instagram,
12:13see some girls working out really hard.
12:14I'm like, holy shit, like, she looks amazing.
12:16Let me get in the gym.
12:18Um, but yeah, sometimes it obviously can be really toxic,
12:21and doesn't make you feel great.
12:23You just have to remind yourself that, like,
12:25most of the stuff you see online is not real.
12:27Me too.
12:28I only show the best parts of my life.
12:29Like, my story's my perfect little breakfast,
12:31and then my good workout.
12:32Like, I'm not showing the parts of me that aren't looking good,
12:35and everyone does the same.
12:36Tell me what your number one ick is with a guy.
12:39Body odor.
12:40Body odor.
12:40And they just smell disgusting.
12:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:43Not a vibe.
12:44Yours?
12:45Guys in cars that have the loud engine.
12:48When they're like revving it.
12:49You're so insecure.
12:50You need that much attention on yourself,
12:52you must not have a personality.
12:53Or a really small.
12:54Yeah, 100%.
12:56Compensating, but not.
12:57I do not care what you drive me.
12:59Don't care.
13:00You don't like the revs.
13:01You don't like the fancy cars.
13:02Don't care.
13:03Another one for me is those no-show socks.
13:06Like, those socks that just go around the toes and the heels.
13:09Yeah.
13:09That is no way.
13:11When me and my boyfriend started dating,
13:13he had some in his drawer,
13:14literally got them through the mail.
13:15I was like, there's no way you're wearing those.
13:16There's no way.
13:17Actually, you know, this is a funny one
13:19that you won't expect from me.
13:20I'm an athlete,
13:20but I don't like guys that do organised sport.
13:23If they're in a footy team or whatever.
13:25Oh, you don't like that.
13:26Because it basically just, like, takes up.
13:29Get a life.
13:30You get a life, mate.
13:31Yeah.
13:32Guys in cars.
13:33Yeah, okay.
13:34Big ick when guys yell at you from their cars.
13:35Yeah.
13:37That's disgusting.
13:39But because it takes up their whole weekend
13:42and it's like, oh, sorry, I'm with the boys.
13:44It's not only, oh, I'm going to footy with the boys.
13:46It's like, oh, now I've got drinks for the boys.
13:48Okay.
13:48Now I've got whatever with the boys.
13:49I'm not sure where I fit in that schedule.
13:51It's making sense.
13:52It's making sense.
13:52So it's not the organised sport.
13:54It's that, do you even have time to see me?
13:56Everything's for the boys.
13:57I'm like, I think you might want to date the boys.
13:58Yeah.
13:59Actually.
14:00Yeah.
14:00Another ick is like, the guy for sure needs to be over six foot.
14:04So you're not a short king?
14:05No, I don't like a short king.
14:06I'm obviously incredibly short, but yeah, I too like a tall guy.
14:10What's your cut off?
14:11Do you have a cut off?
14:12I'm sorry if you're close to my height.
14:14No, but I don't, I mean, being close to your height would be pretty hard.
14:16But like, guys, for my height, I'm just like, I don't want to look at you in the eye.
14:20You know what I mean?
14:21Like, I don't want to be looking up.
14:22Yeah.
14:23That's the vibe.
14:24Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:28What's your fun fact?
14:29My fun fact is that like, I never actually buy whole foods.
14:32That's unwell.
14:39Now move up your legs, move your arms.
14:44Now I'm just getting a shot straight up your shorts.
14:47What tattoo is that?
14:47We're trying to move away from the escorting.
14:51So maybe sit on the edge like this.
14:55Yeah, it turned out good, man.
14:57Looks really good.
14:58I'll edit them out.
14:58These ones especially, I think, are going to look pretty sick.
15:01Let's go see if I can get a job here.
15:02Yeah?
15:03Modelling, yeah?
15:04Modelling for Louie?
15:05Yeah.
15:05Let's go see what he thinks.
15:06Yeah.
15:07Are you two mates?
15:08Yeah, yeah.
15:09So I liked one of Dom's reels and then he followed me back.
15:11Right.
15:12I only have one.
15:15Have you modelled before at all?
15:17Very casually.
15:18This is what I'm trying to do, right?
15:19I'm trying to get into this industry of standing still and looking pretty, right?
15:23Yeah.
15:23Which on paper sounds super easy, right?
15:25Yeah.
15:26Doesn't seem to be working out, so.
15:27Right, because of the tats.
15:29What do you want to know if you can actually be a model?
15:31Do you think the tattoos would be an issue?
15:43What do you want to know if you can actually be a model?
15:46Do you think the tattoos would be an issue?
15:48If you have, like, a more street-weary kind of brand, the tattoos definitely work.
15:54Well, your show looks nice.
15:55This is your...
15:56Well, these are your clothes, so.
15:57Well, obviously they look...
15:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:01But if we're doing something a bit more nicer, it might not work.
16:05A bit more, I guess, um, not as edgy.
16:09Yeah.
16:11It's definitely given me hope that there is brands out there that would work with me,
16:15and would employ me.
16:17Would it meet escorting wages?
16:19Probably not.
16:34There must be something in the water at the eastern suburbs that everyone you seem to meet is trading for
16:39a million mile run.
16:40It's like a dog-eat-dog world.
16:43It's like a pack of wild dogs.
16:45And they are growling.
16:46Like, grrr.
16:51People in the east work hard, but they also like to play hard as well.
16:55The irony is when you train this dumb hard, the obsession to be fit can make you very unhealthy indeed.
17:04Hey.
17:06The pressure, the competition.
17:09Let's be real.
17:10If you see me out on a run, am I going to try and overtake you casually?
17:13Yes.
17:14Thanks for coming down here today, boys.
17:15Um, I can see the enthusiasm.
17:18May as well have a fitness competition between us.
17:21Oh, God.
17:21To see who's the best.
17:23In 30 seconds, how many push-ups you can do?
17:25How many pull-ups you can do?
17:27How many dips you can do?
17:29How many dips you can do?
17:31The abs are poppin'.
17:32You find it easy, boy.
17:35Slow it down.
17:36That's some high rock stuff right there.
17:38You want it strict.
17:40Chin up.
17:41No cheating, thanks.
17:42Sam, come on.
17:43You've got this.
17:43Come on, come on.
17:44Two, one.
17:47Three, all the way up.
17:47That is nice.
17:49Well done.
17:50One more.
17:51That's it.
17:52That's it.
17:52That's it.
17:54Just swinging towel.
17:55I don't know if I do it.
18:03All the way.
18:03Straight arms.
18:04He goes on about form to me.
18:07Oh, pretty good.
18:09You find it too easy.
18:10Maybe I should, um, go on top of you.
18:1337.
18:14Fish.
18:1537.
18:16Cut it.
18:18Stop.
18:19Well done.
18:20Good job.
18:21There you are.
18:22That was good.
18:23That was very good.
18:24Oh, yeah?
18:24Yep.
18:25I can see the spark in him.
18:29You're looking good.
18:31I distract him and make him laugh.
18:34One.
18:35Good job.
18:37You're probably the best looking at doing it.
18:39Yeah, there's the smile.
18:41He's enjoying himself.
18:42The spark is coming.
18:44Oh.
18:45Oh, my God.
18:48One.
18:49Good job.
18:50Seven and a half.
18:51Well done.
18:52Oh, bruh.
18:53Very good.
18:54Got me.
18:54At the end of round three,
18:56the bonus, competition, handstand ball.
19:00Winner takes all.
19:01You can't handstand.
19:02I can do two and a half voli polis,
19:03and then I block out.
19:04All right.
19:05Well, you can be the judge on that one.
19:06Three, two, one.
19:24All right.
19:25Do I win?
19:27Winner takes all.
19:29I'll be craving my heart.
19:31I'll accept defeat today.
19:33Oh.
19:34Got it.
19:35There's some suspicious technique going on.
19:36There's a lot of this hybrid rock star,
19:38crossfit swinging and all sorts.
19:40But fair play to her.
19:41She's a little machine.
19:42That was fun.
19:43What did you think about Marcus?
19:44Trying to get your spark back.
19:46Yeah.
19:46Not just aesthetics.
19:47If anything, you push me away more
19:49from this crossfit high rocks crap.
19:51I mean, I train for looks and for work.
19:54I'll never need to do a walking handstand in a bedroom.
19:58Well, I hope not anyway.
20:00Maybe one day we'll see.
20:02Be a weird request.
20:03Like, hey, can you just get naked and do a walking handstand across the bedroom?
20:07I'll be like, yeah, I've been training for this.
20:09I've been training for this day.
20:11Yeah.
20:11I knew it would come.
20:12I'm helping you out here.
20:13You might get a better performance for the ladies.
20:15You get a few more customers.
20:16I don't know where his confidence comes from where he thinks he can just do this in public.
20:20Why should I take advice from him?
20:21The tats.
20:22The fake muscles.
20:23It's all for show.
20:24I reckon he's weak as piss.
20:26All the stuff.
20:27What's in it?
20:27Oh, beef tallow.
20:28You know that I'm vegan?
20:29What's going on your skin, not in your mouth?
20:31About to have some physical beef with Ryan.
20:32And we're not talking about the tallow.
20:34Tell me about why you left the army.
20:36I was involved in an attempted murder.
20:39You know I've been waiting for my passport and my visa situation.
20:42Yeah?
20:43Passport's not here.
20:43And what day do you leave?
