HOMETOWN: Dublin, Ireland.
BIRTHDAY: October 2, 1985.
SEX SONG: “I haven’t got one. I don’t really pre-plan that far!”
GREEN WEDDING: “An Irish theme? Yuk! No way! Green’s not my favourite colour at all, plus we don’t want leprechauns running around. It’s not a great look.”
THE RED ONES GO FASTER: “Brian hasn’t had that many speeding fines but he gets a lot of parking tickets – at least a couple a week.”
STAYING IN: “I’m happy to just kick it at home watching a DVD box set. I just got through Breaking Bad, which is amazing. And I’m not gonna lie – I love everything Kardashian-related.”
IRISH JOKE: “Oh, my God. I’m the worst person in the world at telling jokes and if someone tries to tell me one, I just want them to get it over with.”
How did you feel going into your first men’s magazine shoot?
I felt pretty nervous because I haven’t done anything like this before. The location [The Darling Hotel in Sydney] was absolutely gorgeous – I’d love a free pass to go in there every day. The room was just huge!
It was a pretty epic day. Were you buggered afterwards?
We started at eight and finished at six, so I was absolutely exhausted. Posing can take a lot out of you! I was practically on the sugar-free Red Bull all day.
What was your favourite part of the shoot?
Lunch! Besides that, I’m good friends with my make-up artist and my manager, and Brian was there, too, so it didn’t really feel like a work day. It was just a lot of fun. Getting into a freezing pool at the end of the day wasn’t too much fun, though.
When do you feel sexiest?
When I’m ready to go out. After I’ve put a good bit of effort into my hair and make-up. I’m sure
a lot of women would say they feel most comfortable when they’re sitting at home without make-up on, just wearing a hoodie, but I like to have make-up on and have my hair done.
You’re a DJ. What’s the best way to pump up a crowd?
It’s tough because you can clear a dancefloor in 30 seconds if you play a really bad song. But on the other hand, you can sway them pretty easily if you play the right track. I’m also the Fashion and Music Ambassador for Puma, and that most recently involved hosting the VIP parties at the Future Music festivals.
