Innholdsfortegnelse for Issue 6, 2023 i WHO

I am proud to say that this issue of WHO features some very inspiring women. Newly crowned Australian of the Year, body positivity champion Taryn Brumfitt, spelt out her mission in her impassioned speech when she was awarded the honour by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on January 25. Find out what her plans for the year ahead are on page 36. Married at First Sight bride Lyndall Grace has bravely opened up about her quest for love while living with a chronic illness, both on the show and in our interview – on page 32. It can’t have been easy for her to be so open about a very personal battle, but I couldn’t be more thrilled for her to have seemingly been matched with a very decent…

It’s been almost 20 years since How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days hit the big screen, but there’s still a lot of love for the rom-com starring Kate Hudson. “It is so re-watched,” the 43-year-old recently shared, commenting on its renewed popularity with the younger generation thanks to TikTok. “It’s so fun, and right now I have all these young girls like 18, 19, who come up to me and it’s all How to Lose a Guy. It’s so fun. I love it.” Hudson starred alongside Matthew McConaughey in the 2003 film as Andie Anderson, the writer who looks for a man she can love and lose in 10 days. The film was an instant hit, raking in over $250 million at the box office. And it seems…

Celebrity There aren’t many people who can say they’re friends with their partner’s ex, but Katy Perry and Miranda Kerr are just that – and more. Perry, 38, who is currently engaged to the model’s ex-husband Orlando Bloom, revealed their extraordinary relationship at the G’Day USA Gala in Los Angeles on January 28, when she presented Kerr, 39, with the Excellence in the Arts Award. “Some of you might be confused about why I’m introducing Miranda. That doesn’t play into the antiquated narrative of ex-wives and new wives,” the singer joked to the audience. “And yes, it’s true, most of the media would like to see us mud wrestle, including [her husband] Evan [Spiegel], but we are here to lead by love because Miranda is love. And as a lot…

Can you tell us about how your collab with Luv Lou came about? It came about so organically. I had been a huge fan of the brand for years and had been wearing their sunglasses while I was living in LA. I met Hayley (one of the founders) at a Pilates class on the Northern Beaches, just after I moved back, and we clicked straight away. She mentioned her interest in doing a collab and this was something I already had on my radar and really wanted to do, so it was the perfect fit and came about so naturally. What’s the inspiration behind your collection? I drew from classic shapes and styles and put my own modern take on them. But I really wanted all of the styles to…

Now that legislation in Australia has made hemp in skincare legal, the buzz ingredient is cropping up in everything from masks to serums and face oils. “Hemp is really calming,” says Vela Days founder Amelia Gartner. “It is anti-redness, anti-inflammation and it really helps to create barrier protection, making it ideal for a number of conditions like rosacea, sensitivity and irritation.” Did you know? Hemp is also rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, meaning it’s a go-to for enhancing hydration and strengthening a weakened skin barrier. The result? Skin tone is evened up, collagen is boosted and dryness is sorted.…

Not knowing much about boats might not be ideal when taking on the role of the youngest person to sail solo, nonstop around the world, but Teagan Croft took it all in her stride while preparing to play Jessica Watson for the Netflix film, True Spirit. “I had never sailed before in my life,” the 18-year-old reveals to WHO. “My sailing coach made miracles happen! Oh god, I loved it!” Despite the lack of sailing know-how, Croft could definitely draw on personal experience when playing the driven teen sensation – having travelled halfway across the world herself when she was cast in superhero series, Titans, back in 2018. And now with her first leading role in a feature film under her belt, Croft is ready for the next challenge. “The…

She has long been teasing another addition to her family, and now Meghan Trainor has confirmed the news fans were waiting for – she’s pregnant with her second child! The 29-year-old singer revealed the happy news on January 30 on the US Today show, alongside husband Daryl Sabara, 30. “I’m pregnant!” she exclaimed. “We did it! “What a blessing. I’m just so grateful I can get pregnant,” she later shared with People. “And I’m like, ‘I’m crushing it. This is amazing. This is my dreams.’ I’m halfway there – I want four kids!” The singer, who is four months along, also revealed that they’ve shared the news with their 2-year-old son, Riley. “We try to tell him, ‘There’s a baby in the belly,’” she explained. “But then he points to…

Celebrity Tourism Australia sure is getting their money’s worth from Hamish Blake and Zoë Foster Blake, with the couple still, perhaps unintentionally, spruiking our gorgeous country after they were named its official ambassadors. The Aussie power couple, who tied the knot back in 2012, enjoyed a beach day at Sydney’s Watsons Bay on January 24. Splashing about in the water alongside their kids Sonny, 8, and Rudy, 5, the TV and podcast host, 41, appeared to be having a ball as his wife, 42, watched on. The family of four has been making the most of the summer holidays this year, unlocking “Perfect Family Holiday Mode” while in Western Australia earlier this month. “Forgive me being such a naive Eastern Australian about all this, but we had a really excellent…

Crime On February 12, 1993, mother-of-one Denise Bulger was inside a butcher’s store in a shopping centre in Liverpool, northern England, when she let go of her toddler’s hand to pay for some chops. By the time she finished, her 2-year-old boy, James Bulger, was no longer by her side. After a quick scan of the area in the Strand Shopping Centre, the desperate mum informed security her child was missing, then continued a frantic search of her own throughout the centre. “Everywhere I looked I prayed that I would see my boy’s face peeking out from under a fitting-room curtain or see him running towards me as he spotted me through the crowd,” Denise wrote in her 2018 memoir, I Let Him Go. But by then, James was already…

What would you do with an extra day every week? If I had asked you in 2019, you might have said spend more time with your kids, read, take up a hobby, exercise. Or maybe, catch up on some sleep? I don’t think you would have said fill the saved time with more emails and meetings. And yet, in 2020 and 2021, when many of us were working from home, we got our commute time (up to 10 hours per week) “refunded”, but we perpetuated our already hectic lifestyles. Instead of recognising the time refund as a gift, we simply absorbed it back into our busy, out-of-control, overwhelmed lives. In Australia, we work an extraordinary 3.2 billion hours a year in unpaid overtime, we have 134 million days of accrued…

We’re all a little guilty of turning makeup application into a habitual task. Look, we get it – no-one has the time to create a red-carpet-inspired full face of glam every morning. But embracing a touch of colour and creativity for an extra five minutes could result in a makeup look that doesn’t just look great, but can also enhance your mood! We’re not saying green eyeshadow is suddenly going to cure your seasonal depression, but that doesn’t mean it can’t give you a serotonin boost when you need it most. Keen to give it a whirl? We spoke to Australian makeup artist Helen Samaryan about embracing rule-breaking makeup, how to paint your face so it sparks joy, and why colour really isn’t as scary as it seems. HOW TO…

who’s news The Hemsworths have hit the road again and this time, the family of five are meeting the local wildlife while on safari in Kenya. It’s the latest adventure for the Marvel movie star, who is on an extended break from acting to instead spend time making memories with his kids. “One of the most memorable trips,” Chris Hemsworth posted. The Australian actor is serious about enjoying his life with his those closest to him. While filming docuseries Limitless last year, Hemsworth, 39, discovered he has a genetic predisposition for developing Alzheimer’s disease and, as a result, he announced that he would take time off work to focus on his family. “It’s not like I’ve been handed my resignation though,” Hemsworth told Vanity Fair magazine. But working…

Olivia ColmanCelebrity Although she had been working for two decades and was already an acclaimed actress in the UK, Olivia Colman’s ‘upset win’ for her role as Queen Anne in The Favourite at the 2019 Academy Awards came as a surprise, most of all to her. She appeared gobsmacked when she beat out her idol and widely tipped favourite, Glenn Close. Four years later, the actress is as humble as ever when it comes to her big win, telling WHO she keeps her Oscar out of sight. “He lives in a cupboard because I’m a little bit embarrassed that if people come around, they’ll be like, ‘Who does she think she is?’” she says. “So I keep it in the cupboard just for me, and every now and then, if…

At the debut of The Whale at the Venice Film Festival in September, Brendan Fraser received a six-minute standing ovation for his role as Charlie, a 270kg man struggling with the shame of leaving his family for the woman he was having an affair with. In a clip that went viral, Fraser was visibly overcome with emotion over the applause. So much so, that he tried to leave the cinema, but was ushered back to his seat where the applause continued. Now that awards season is here. Fraser continues to be showered with accolades for the role. He won the Best Actor gong at the recent Critics’ Choice Awards and has been nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, too. “I am absolutely overjoyed and completely grateful,” Fraser, 54, said after…

Healthy eating and getting a good night’s sleep are two things we tend to focus on a lot when we’re trying to improve our wellbeing. But did you know they’re also connected? Not only can sleep deprivation affect our eating choices, the foods that we eat can also affect our ability to get a good night’s shut-eye. THE FOOD SLEEP CONNECTION Sleep expert and author of The Sleep Diet Carmel Harrington says that it’s important for us to consider what we eat and the timing of when we eat, as both things really impact how we sleep each night. For instance, many people find that they sleep better if they avoid eating two to three hours before bedtime. However, Harrington says that it’s important to fuel up at other times…

AIMEE’S DAY LOOK $149.92 I love a simple tunic-style dress with sandals for a weekend look so I’m hoping to style it up without breaking the bank. A strappy sandal – rather than a slide – instantly makes this outfit dressier and so does layers. If you can’t afford the extra element, throw a lightweight shirt over a simple dress to give the illusion of “more” or that you look “styled”. Simple gold jewellery and black sunglasses can create that refined luxury look and an on-trend handbag for under $30 tops it off! AIMEE’S NIGHT LOOK $134.93 Night looks can be tricky to get under a budget. However, the key is to think outside the box and try styles that might usually be a day look, but with the right…

Julia Hollander’s daughter, Immie, who was born with severe cerebral palsy, wasn’t able to walk or talk. But she was able to sing and responded to others singing. “That led me to working with people with other kinds of neurological disorders, especially those with dementia,” shares Hollander, a therapist, writer and performer. “I started to realise that what they were getting from singing was actually what we all got. It is a universal human gift.” During the COVID-19 lockdowns, she committed to penning her book Why We Sing, a project that she says helped get her through those difficult days. “[The lockdowns] were really hard for singers because we had to stop doing the thing that makes us feel alive for pretty much two years.” The writer hopes that in…

the last word When was the last time you laughed until you cried? I was at a comedy night with my wife at the Royal Brighton Yacht Club with Hughesy [Dave Hughes] and Dave O’ Neil performing. We sat right up the front and the laughter was totally contagious. Last thing you learnt about yourself? Being a vegetarian does not stop you from putting on weight. What was your last guilty pleasure? After my wife and I saw A Christmas Carol, we sat outside one of the oldest bars in Melbourne – Grossi Florentino – on a nice summer’s night drinking far more than we should. Last time you danced in public? A place called Lucky 13 Garage in Melbourne. [It] was a mechanic’s garage, but has morphed into a…
