Three months ago, former Bachelor Tim Robards married Anna Heinrich in the Aussie wedding of the year.
But the honeymoon is over, as Tim reveals to NW exclusively that heās packing up and heading to Hollywood to chase his dream of becoming the next Chris Hemsworth. LA, here he comes!
āItās something Iāve always wanted to do,ā Tim, 35, says of his big screen ambitions.
Of course, the newlyweds have already spent much of their marriage apart, with Tim moving from their home in Sydney to Melbourne to flex his acting muscle on Neighbours.
Tim Robards is ready for Hollywood!
So whatās the goss with the new guy on Ramsay Street?
āHeās a little bit Christian Grey, but a bit more Harvey Specter from Suits,ā Tim says of his character, wealthy investor Pierce Greyson.
Here, the hunky actor tells NW what Anna, 31, thinks about him cosying up to other women on set, and how he feels about leaving his beautiful wife behind to give it a crack in Hollywood!
So many Hollywood stars ā like Hemsy and Margot Robbie ā got their start on Aussie soaps. Are you planning to follow in their footsteps?
āIād love to! I set measurable goals and thatās where Iād like to take it. Weāll see how we go. Iāll just keep doing the work and see what happens.ā
Now that youāve wrapped filming for Neighbours, do you have any more acting gigs lined up?
āIāve got a potential short film Iām shooting over in the States in a couple of weeks, so just working on that. Because Iām fairly new to it, Iām just going to keep working on my training and the American accent.
Iām just getting as much on my show reel as I can, because Iām not getting any younger. Youāve got to fully commit to it and give it a proper crack.ā
Tim is about to shoot a short film in the states.
Will Anna go with you to the States?
āNo. Iāll just duck over and do it myself. If Iām busy filming all day, sheād be sitting around twiddling her fingers. Sheās got work here, so you just want to throw yourself into it and get as much experience as you can wherever you can.ā
What if your career took off over there? Would you leave her behind?
āWhatever we did, weād make it work ā whether you have to put in a bit of travel or whateverā¦ I donāt think sheād be opposed to it.ā
How is married life going? Youāve spent some time apart recently filming Neighbours, so it must be hard on you two.
āItās good! Iām lucky that Annaās so supportive and understanding. A lot of people have said, āDid you just get that role because youāve been on TV before?ā But no, Iāve been doing the work, going to acting classes at night time and on weekends, and giving up a lot of time. Sheās just super happy and has seen that the hard work Iāve been putting in behind the scenes has paid off. I made sure I flew back every weekend to see her and spend some time with her, but then she was busy as well!ā
Your character Pierce seems to like the ladies. Did Anna ban you from taking part in any kissing scenes?
āOh, there is a bit of romance in the storyline, so youāll have to wait and see! Annaās like, āWhatever youāve got to do.ā Originally, she would say, āLook, if itās in an audition, then maybe avoid the kissing. But if itās a proper role and youāre being paid for it, then go for it.ā Sheās supportive.ā
āIf you are doing a kissing scene, youāre in character, and as soon as the director yells, āCut!ā itās back to Tim, and itās a different thing.ā
So when you and Anna have babies, would you rather they be little lawyers like her, or actors like you?
āTwo little kids that are loud and outspoken and argumentative? I donāt know if Iād want that! [Laughs] Iād try and encourage them to be chiropractors and work in the health field. You donāt want a big out-there person who always wants all the limelight! [Laughs]ā
