by Stephen Curry is very funny – something that Australia learned for the first time when we got to know the actor in 1997 as a Dale Kerrigan in the castle. But while Curry has a lot of comedy hits under his belt, he is also clever in more dramatic roles. His latest case is JJ Walker in Ten Pfund Poms, the Stan series about the difficulties of British citizens who emigrated to Australia after the Second World War who returns to screens this month.
While his work in Australian film and television is concerned with him, Curry takes time between gigs. Here the screen star tells us about the good and bad celebrations and shares his refreshing philosophy about how to manage long -haul flights.

In Petra, Jordan, a friend told me that “I just have to try the Qalayet Bandora”. It was a simple dish of tomatoes, onions, peppers, olive oil and salt.

What is your strategy to endure long -haul flights?
If you get over yourself and realize that there is no problem than someone to fight how long and tedious your flight was.
What is your biggest travel flexions?
Go to Pisa and don’t see the leaning tower. Our car collapsed on the edge of the city and we had to catch an airplane this afternoon. We had the choice: catch the flight or miss the tower. (I am traveling with my wife that I had assured that I had checked the water and oil in the car, but seriously – who is checking the water and the oil in a rental?)
A short game of rock, paper, a scissors later I reluctantly agreed that it was just a tower that was clearly not built for the code. And I learned a valuable lesson: never choose scissors in Pisa.
