00:00What happened?
00:01At the moment I'm feeling very rejected.
00:03I wish I was a monogamous person.
00:05To go renew my visa and my passport had expired.
00:08It looks like I'm gonna have to leave Australia for good.
00:10What about your chick?
00:15Have you told her what's going on yet?
00:25How old were you when you started out in the military?
00:2818. I joined the infantry.
00:31Serving all over a couple of tours of Afghanistan,
00:33rock and rolly.
00:34You get good at it, right? And I got good at it.
00:37The main thing I loved about being in the military was my purpose.
00:40I knew what I was doing every day.
00:41I had a goal in life.
00:42I knew where I wanted to be in my career.
00:44I knew that if I did this, this, and this, this would happen.
00:46And that was the certainty that I love, which I've lost now.
00:48I'm just freestyling.
00:51I'm pretty bloody clueless, if I'm honest.
00:53I joined the military to impress my father.
00:58I'll take this world of violence and see if it, you know, see if he looks.
01:03He didn't.
01:05So, the military was just, it was my life.
01:08And it still is to this day.
01:09And people could ask me, what do you wanna do?
01:11I'm like, well, I'd go back and join the military.
01:13If I could, I'd fly tomorrow.
01:15I won't even pack up, just fly tomorrow.
01:16But I can't.
01:17So, fuck it up, big boy.
01:23Go on, do yours as well.
01:24This is all part of it.
01:26So, you gotta stretch out the quads.
01:28This will help.
01:29Because if you're gonna train later, you don't wanna be stiff.
01:31Yeah.
01:32I know you're used to being pretty stiff.
01:34Why are we just in the middle of the fucking thing?
01:36And then switch, switch.
01:37Henry acts a certain way in public, but I don't think grown men should.
01:42Can I help you in any way?
01:43Yeah, yeah, I've got this real tight spot on the top of my glute.
01:45Do you mind just pressing into it?
01:48I think we're just very different people.
01:51Jesus Christ.
01:52I've given up dating, mate.
01:53Maybe you should try the boys next.
01:54What?
01:56What is wrong with you?
01:58In the world that I grew up in, you just don't, we don't put up with that type of shit.
02:04Maybe you could take me as like a little work experience thing.
02:07Do you think I could get some...
02:07Take you to work with me?
02:08Yeah, yeah, like bring your mate to work day.
02:12The guy's cooked.
02:14The guy's crazy, eh?
02:15Maybe that's why he's comfortable.
02:16Maybe he's comfortable being a clown.
02:17And that's why he wants to be a clown.
02:19Yeah, it makes me very uncomfortable.
02:21I'll be there on the side.
02:22I think we genuinely, if I took you to work, we'd go to jail.
02:26I think so.
02:27That'd be a great story.
02:28Yeah, I think so.
02:29Because I'd have to obviously walk in, then you walk in behind me doing like car wheels
02:32and like touching shit.
02:35And like, yeah, it's instant jail time.
02:37I think the reviews would go through the roof though.
02:42Stand still.
02:43I can't, literally.
02:44I can't.
02:48The eastern suburbs, we have a feeling it's all so perfect.
02:53But the reality is, it's a very expensive place to make it.
02:58You kind of get conditioned to the price of everything here.
03:01We definitely do bond over how much money we're paying for ridiculous things.
03:05Feeling like really hydrated after that.
03:07Nah.
03:07Everything is expensive.
03:09Five dollars for two mangoes.
03:11Outrageous.
03:11It is insane how much we pay for a matcha in here.
03:15I paid eight dollars all day, which is insane.
03:18Waking up for a sunrise, jumping into the surf.
03:20It's all fun and games until it's time to pay rent.
03:27$25,000 down the drain, ready for the bin.
03:30Did you bring your product with you?
03:31I did.
03:32Do you want to see it?
03:33Yeah, I'd love to.
03:35Here she is.
03:35Today we're here at New Directions.
03:37It's a private label cosmetics company.
03:39And we're here to try and kick back off my failed business venture.
03:42What went wrong with this product?
03:44Like, why is it illegal?
03:45Like, what's happened?
03:46So, the original formulator that I went to, there was actually six ingredients that he put into the product without
03:52my approval.
03:53Oh.
03:53Emulsifiers and there's preservatives and everything.
03:55Not natural.
03:57Not natural, yeah.
03:57And now it's like printed as well.
03:59Yeah.
03:59There's some ingredients in there that aren't labelled.
04:00So if someone has a local reaction, then he's cooked, you know what I mean?
04:03You can't get away with, like, not using emulsifiers or preservatives.
04:06But there's natural types out there.
04:08And they didn't use those?
04:09Nah, they weren't.
04:10Okay.
04:10The ones they've used are petrochemicals, which obviously-
04:13Right.
04:13A brand called Naturally Safe.
04:14You don't want-
04:15You don't want that in there.
04:15Natural chemicals in your product, so.
04:17I did everything on my own.
04:18I failed at the first hurdle.
04:20That's why I've brought Willow along today to help me out.
04:22She's blunt.
04:23She's honest.
04:24And she's hot.
04:25Okay, well, I mean, it doesn't really smell like much, right?
04:28Yeah.
04:29What's in it?
04:30Oh!
04:31Beef tallow.
04:32Yeah.
04:33Beef.
04:33Beef tallow product.
04:34You know that I'm vegan?
04:36So this is beef fat, right?
04:37It's gone on your skin, not in your mouth.
04:39Ryan's product is beef tallow.
04:41That is absolutely disgusting.
04:42I'm vegan.
04:43I don't want beef fat on me.
04:45Like, that's really gross.
04:46To be honest, if you want me to help you go a little bit further with this, we need to
04:51consider some vegan products.
04:55Can we do this to the side where it's a little bit more, a little bit less public indecency?
04:59I can see your balls, man.
05:01I pay good money for that.
05:02Do you not shave?
05:04It's like a yawning Chewbacca.
05:09So I don't know where his confidence comes from where he thinks he can just do this in
05:12public.
05:12Do you need to clown around with everything you do?
05:14There's a limit to like...
05:16No?
05:17I just want to tell him to sit still like a father.
05:19He's like two years younger than Mirai's ass.
05:22Like, what do I do with this guy?
05:24Like, I'm in my...
05:25Let's go over here.
05:27Okay, okay.
05:28And then you can continue whatever that was.
05:31Whatever that act...
05:32Whatever that activity was.
05:34He wouldn't take advice from me, so why should I take advice from him?
05:37Like, if I said to him, you need to be more yourself, you need to be more...
05:40He would say...
05:43I'm not doing that.
05:44I'm helping you out here.
05:45If a bit more mobility in the hips, you might get a better performance for the ladies.
05:49You get a few more customers.
05:51More five-star RQs.
05:53No, you've got something wrong with you.
05:55Okay.
05:55So Berlin seems nice, mate.
05:57That's the first time I've met her today.
05:58Oh, she's great.
05:59She is great.
05:59I think she'd need to be to put up with whatever's going on.
06:02Is it a thing there between you?
06:03Oh, there's a thing.
06:04There's a thing.
06:05Have you kissed her?
06:06Yeah, like a little peck.
06:07Nothing too crazy, you know?
06:08Slow and steady wins the race.
06:10Don't...
06:10Yeah?
06:11I'll be sucking toes in no time.
06:12What the f...
06:15You have to be careful taking your time in this day and age, mate.
06:18Yeah.
06:19Because there's a lot of other guys out there who don't take the time.
06:21Ooh.
06:22Mmm.
06:22Mmm.
06:23How do you feel about that?
06:24Are you trying to tell me something?
06:25Are you going to try to swoop in?
06:26No.
06:27I have no swoop left in me.
06:28No swoop.
06:29Okay.
06:30That's good, that's good.
06:31I think we can call it there.
06:32I'll see you Tuesday.
06:33A pleasure.
06:34If you need me, just shine the light in the sky.
06:36Jesus Christ.
06:36You know where to look.
06:37You aren't Batman.
06:38You're six foot four, fucking 30 year old.
06:40Like, you need...
06:41At some point, you're gonna have to fucking grow up.
06:44I'll see you next Tuesday, mate.
06:45But hey, why should I take advice from him?
06:47The tats.
06:48The fakeness.
06:50The fake muscles.
06:51It's all for show.
06:52I reckon he's weak as piss.
06:54Get the boys in the gym.
06:55We'll have a lift off.
06:56I'll show him what a real bloke can do.
07:07What if I tell you, your skin's gonna look amazing?
07:08Can I get you over the line or not?
07:10Absolutely not.
07:11You don't really strike me as a vegan though.
07:12Really?
07:13Yeah.
07:13Because you look quite...
07:14Normal?
07:15Normal as a vegan.
07:15Yeah.
07:16What does a vegan seem like to you then?
07:18She doesn't really look too hippie-ish.
07:19She doesn't have hairy armpits.
07:21Doesn't stink.
07:21She's quite a nice looking vegan.
07:23Nose ring.
07:24Oh.
07:25There it is.
07:25There you go.
07:26So the little nose ring.
07:27It is possible.
07:27Fun fact about me is I went vegan for seven months.
07:29No way.
07:30Yeah, in 2020.
07:31Okay.
07:31Worst season of my life.
07:32Oh.
07:33Okay.
07:34Why is that?
07:35Oh, it just totally ruined my body.
07:37I developed autoimmune from an alopecia.
07:39Really bad.
07:40Yeah, like lost all the hair on my face, like massive patches of hair.
07:44I'm not a doctor, but I don't think being vegan can cause an autoimmune disease.
07:48Being vegan, I can assure you, is a very healthy lifestyle.
07:52You're a big animal lover then?
07:53100%.
07:54Yeah.
07:54I like animals too.
07:55Not enough, clearly.
07:57Tastes good.
08:01Tasty fuckers.
08:02About to have some physical beef with Ryan, and we're not talking about the tallow.
08:08I'm going to meet Berlin for a coffee today.
08:10I'm going to play a little bit of a prank on her.
08:12Little does she know, my passport has arrived today.
08:14Oh, old passport.
08:15Get fucked, mate.
08:16This new one looks way better.
08:19Woo!
08:20However, I'm going to tell her that it hasn't arrived.
08:23See her reaction.
08:24See if it reveals some true emotions, some true feelings.
08:27See how she really feels about me.
08:28You know I've been waiting for my passport and my visa situation.
08:32Yeah?
08:33Looks like I'm going to be taking a little bit of a trip.
08:38So you won't see me this week, maybe not next week, maybe not the week after.
08:41See her.
08:42I'm headed to Bali because my passport's not here.
08:45I mean, yeah, this is like, this is real.
08:46I can't tell you.
08:47Are you being serious?
08:48Yeah.
08:49Like I'm being deadly serious.
08:50Like this is me just like telling you, see ya.
08:52Oh my God.
08:54I think it shows that she cares.
08:56I've never had someone I have liked just get pulled away from me so quickly, so.
09:04At least I get to go to Bali.
09:06And what day do you leave?
09:08Well, like by the end of today basically.
09:13Yeah, I'm pretty upset.
09:18We pranked you.
09:19Come on.
09:21Wait, you're not going to Bali?
09:22No, I'm not going to Bali.
09:25I don't know.
09:26I'm a little bit upset.
09:27I mean, you like kind of shocked me a bit.
09:29That's like a big thing to joke about.
09:32Maybe, maybe, maybe a bit too much of a prank.
09:35I'm a bit upset with your prank and your chaos.
09:38And I've, I've, I've absolutely loved our time together and I think that you're an incredible person.
09:43But, I don't know.
09:48I don't know.
10:01I don't know.
10:04I don't know.
10:08I don't know.
10:22I don't know.
10:31I don't know.
10:35I don't know.
10:37I don't know.
10:39It would have been just like the end of you and I, if you were to leave.
10:43That, that, yeah.
10:44Now that you mention it, maybe that's not the smoothest way to do it.
10:46I, I wouldn't do that.
10:48For me, I'm, I'm very intentional with my dating.
10:50I think this morning has impacted our relationship in a great way, you know.
10:54It shows that you can have ups and downs, but as long as you stay together and be strong,
10:58you'll come out of the other side even stronger.
11:01We've got another date planned for next week.
11:03That's still in the books.
11:05So how's, how's like Saturday morning looking for you?
11:14Let me, let me get back to you, I think.
11:17The ball is quite literally in her court for the, for the date.
11:21You never know.
11:28I was just like, not thrilled.
11:30I was like, what do you mean?
11:31Like you, you're watching me like get up, get all sad over coffee.
11:34People at tables next to us are looking at me like, oh, the poor girl.
11:37So yeah, I'm a little bit mixed on it right now.
11:40To me, it's kind of weird to joke about that when it's only one of our first dates.
11:42I'm still kind of deciding if I want to see him again.
11:45He's a super sweet guy.
11:46Like, I think we have a lot of fun together, but yeah.
11:48Got to decide if I want to roll with that or not.
11:56If you want to know what I looked like 12 months ago, this is it.
11:59This is the last time I went surfing.
12:02Basically, it was overhead height, but I realized the surf's a bit beyond my level.
12:06I tried pulling off the wave.
12:07I could see a sand bank and I went straight down head first onto my fin.
12:12I was surprised I came out alive, to be honest.
12:1919 stitches. Honestly, I looked like Harry Potter.
12:22The doctors in hospital said, you cannot have a knock like this again.
12:25The concussion you had, next time it won't be okay.
12:31Surfing is a beautiful thing, but honestly, I've just been too scared to get back out there.
12:36I feel incredibly apprehensive.
12:39The fluttering chest is not stopping and I'm just hoping that today's going to be okay.
12:45The worst thing that can happen is a redo of last year.
12:59I'm known as a person that's a go-getter and doesn't let fear stop them.
13:02So, I'm just hoping that today's going to be okay.
13:09I don't care how small the wave is.
13:11I'm not going to have my ego get in the way.
13:53Like, oh my God, I feel alive.
13:55I'll have a memento forever of the scar from a year ago,
13:59but if I can show myself after a head injury like that,
14:03that I can get back surfing, I really can do anything.
14:07Mate, I'm a surfer again.
14:13If I can conquer surfing, I can conquer dating.
14:16Just like catching up first wave,
14:18we're just going to lean in, say yes to the dates,
14:21and see what happens next.
14:24I am on the dating apps.
14:25I'm just looking for someone who is confident.
14:29They're going for what they want.
14:31Fun, knows who they are, outgoing, fit, athletic.
14:36They can challenge me, they can push me.
14:38Not stubborn.
14:39They can challenge me, they can challenge me, hey?
14:43I'm not.
14:43They can challenge me.
14:44They can challenge me, hey?
14:45The potential prospects of us dating other people.
14:48It's not too much to ask, right?
14:54Tell me about why you left the army.
14:57I was medically discharged.
14:59I was involved in an attempted murder, but I was the...
15:02I was the victim.
15:07Tell me about why you left the army.
15:10I was medically discharged.
15:12I was involved in an attempted murder, but I was the...
15:15I was the victim.
15:17We were in Cyprus.
15:18We just came out from Afghanistan.
15:19And I went out to the pub, got into a fight over a taxi that I ordered.
15:24I did fancy my chances, but, yeah, I lost drastically.
15:27I think firstly hitting someone with a bottle.
15:30It borderline, not okay, but then to stamp on someone's unconscious head
15:33for like two minutes, and that's why I was attempted murder,
15:36because, yeah, I didn't even throw a punch.
15:38So I have a metal plate holding my chew bone in.
15:41My right eye sockets cracked.
15:43My right ear is super pointy because it was, like, flayed.
15:47I have a bleed on the brain, one at the back, one at the front.
15:50I was ending a coma for three weeks.
15:53My chances of survival was 22%.
15:57I was ending a wheelchair for six months and two years of rehab.
16:00Any lasting damage after all that you went through?
16:04How long have you got?
16:06Um, memory issues, concentration issues.
16:09I struggle reading.
16:10My sleep's horrendous.
16:11I was on anti-seizure meds for nearly a year,
16:14which made me super drowsy anyway.
16:15If I sleep on the right-hand side of my face,
16:18the metal plate stings in the morning.
16:21I don't know if that's good or bad.
16:22Probably should get that looked at.
16:24I'm not going to.
16:25But, yeah, a lot of lasting damage.
16:27You're a fucking moron.
16:29I never used to be, but I got new teeth for it, so...
16:32And the worst part of all of that, would you say it?
16:36100% of the worst part was getting discharged.
16:38Like, I don't care about the brain damage.
16:39I don't care about the metal plate in my head.
16:40I don't care about my memory issues.
16:42But to be discharged, I actually cried.
16:46It's the first time in my life I've cried
16:48when I found out I'm discharged,
16:49because it's all I've known for a very, very, very long time.
16:52And I loved every second of it.
16:55I miss it every single day.
16:58I mean, I'm still extremely clean
17:00and extremely dedicated and extremely disciplined,
17:02but I have nowhere to put it besides bloody escorting.
17:05And that's why it's change.
17:07It's why it's change.
17:16I lost 20 kilos.
17:17I haven't always been like this.
17:22When I was in uni and we were drinking all the time,
17:25we were eating shit food, never liked sport.
17:27I'd go to Hungry Jack's, drive through, like, all the time.
17:30I got to a point where I was, like,
17:32looking at myself in the mirror
17:33and I was like, something's got to change.
17:35Either I keep going down this path,
17:37I end up morbidly obese, and I'd be quite unhappy,
17:39or I completely turn my life around.
17:42I start training, I start really looking after myself.
17:45Started around 2021 and completely re-comped my body.
17:48Lost 20 kilos.
17:50Not only was that a physical transformation,
17:52but it was also such a big mental transformation.
17:54It completely changed my life.
17:56So with your body,
17:57are you happy with where you're at at the moment?
17:58I would absolutely love to do a bodybuilding competition
18:00because it's going to show me basically how far I can push it.
18:03But the hesitation I have is also
18:05because I have to really struggle with body dysmorphia.
18:11Is body dysmorphia something that you'd be happy
18:14to be discussing on the show?
18:15I'm happy to talk about my weight loss
18:17and how I did it, and I think that's great.
18:19But, yeah, being that vulnerable,
18:21I think it's going to be quite hard for me, to be honest.
18:24Often the days where I'm struggling really bad
18:25with my body dysmorphia, I'm not, you know,
18:27I can't really see what I look like.
18:28It does affect the way you see yourself
18:31and the way that you look at yourself
18:33and your perception of what you look like.
18:35It's like sometimes and often I still do see myself
18:37as what I look like five or six years ago.
18:40And being that open and vulnerable about, you know,
18:43my struggles with my body image and mental health
18:47is a bit scary.
18:51So I went and met my bodybuilder friend the other day
18:53and it's kind of been playing on my mind.
18:56I would absolutely love to do a bodybuilding competition
18:58because it's going to show me basically
19:00how far I can push it.
19:01But I really don't know if I've got what it takes.
19:04You've done heaps of bodybuilding competitions
19:06and I want to understand everything
19:08before I decide to pull the trigger, yeah.
19:12My dad used to be a bodybuilder.
19:14No way! Are you serious?
19:16Yeah, but, like, very old school, like, for breakfast,
19:18he would have eight raw eggs with...
19:21How many weeks to get stage ready?
19:23Ten weeks at the start.
19:25OK.
19:25And then we want about 20 weeks
19:26before you lead into that last little bit.
19:28Holy shit, that's, like, 30 weeks
19:30of not going out for breakfast
19:31or you're not going on a night out
19:33or, like, you can't go to the birthdays and things.
19:34You're going to have days where you feel like shit.
19:36100%.
19:37For sure.
19:37And I get cranky when I'm hungry.
19:39Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're going to be cranky
19:40and, yeah, you get points where you're super lean
19:42but you don't think you are.
19:43Yeah.
19:43Especially if you've had a history with it.
19:45Just dealing with my bodybuilder's morphia
19:47whilst in a cart and then coming out of it
19:49and coming back to a normal weight
19:51it's going to be really challenging.
19:53Because Willi was really going for it.
19:55It's a lot of hard work, no alcohol,
19:57following a very strict diet
19:58and that can really mess up with your head.
20:00The whole bodybuilder's morphia
20:01kind of worries me a little bit.
20:02The other element that I didn't even think about
20:04is, like, the posing.
20:06The posing with the heels.
20:08It's the clear heels that are, like, really high.
20:10I'm like, oh, my God.
20:11I kind of cringe.
20:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:14What do you think is your biggest motivation
20:15to sign up for a competition?
20:17I think proving to myself that I can do it,
20:19seeing how far I can push myself
20:20and, like, achieving something insane
20:22that 95% of the population don't do.
20:24I'm still so on the fence,
20:26I just, I haven't made my decision yet.
20:28I'm here with my rose today
20:29because I pulled a prank on my limb,
20:31didn't go too well,
20:32so I'm just going to give it to her to say sorry.
20:33I think our relationship's very different
20:35than most relationships.
20:36It's, like, very much, like, best friend vibes.
20:38No!
20:38You haven't kissed yet?
20:39No!
20:40What?
20:41No!
20:41I'm learning how to be a TV presenter.
20:44You literally have four seconds to get their attention.
20:47I don't want to do this.
20:49No, fair enough.
20:50But we will keep you, in fact, more to come.
20:54I'm sweating.
20:56This is my first ever model casting.
20:58Goodness me, you haven't really left any space at all.
21:01Quite a bit of pressure on this
21:02because if I can make this work, I can stop escorting.
21:04I don't know if you've got any other skeletons
21:06that you'd like to tell me about right now.
21:07I don't know.
21:09I don't know.
