Guy Pearce
From Jack Irish to Mare of Easttown, we’re in the midst of a Guy-naissance. In an open and honest Letter to My Younger Self, actor Guy Pearce talks about childhood grief, living with anxiety, fatherhood, fame and his big break… Neighbours.
“The biggest challenge of my life is probably my own anxiety. To be present and not have head noise dictate the situation. In a way, having [my son] Monte is forcing me to be patient. It’s forcing me to listen more, and to be in the moment, and that’s wonderful.”
