My first job was ... working at a little beachside juice bar. I was 13, so I don't really know if it was legal but I would put stalks of celery into a juicer for middle-class people who lived by the beach in Coolangatta.
It taught me … people can be really s***ty, but they can also be really good. Making juices can teach you a lot about a person and the way they treat you when you're making those juices says a lot too. It taught me the value of making $9 an hour and about people, really.
My big break came … when I came out of the womb, honestly, but the more generic answer would be after The Bachelor. But I feel like I did so many great things for my character before The Bachelor, I moved out of home at 17 and started travelling by myself, working overseas, The Bachelor was a big accident that escalated from there! I'm happy with the way everything has worked out, no regrets.
The last job I quit was … I was working in Auckland at a high ropes course as a maintenance worker/instructor and I had a call to do Bachelor Winter Games in America – so I quit my job to go do that.
The most famous person I've ever met is … Sarah Hyland from Modern Family. Her fiance, Wells, is a good mate of myself and my ex, Courtney. She watched us on TV and would tweet about us, and at a premiere Wells brought her along to she asked Courtney to introduce us. I bought her a drink and we sat down in a green room all night having drinks and talking s***.
