With millions in the bank, why is Bec Hewitt living like a celebrity recluse?
A few years ago Bec Hewitt would have thrown herself into the past week with an equal mix of glamour and gusto. Glittering in a designer frock and teetering on sexy stilettos, she’d have loved the day out at the races with Hollywood stars, the front row at Fashion Week and — to cap it all off — a star-studded night at the TV Week Logies.
Yet last week on the red carpet, Bec was nowhere to be seen, even though she’d been invited and was enjoying a rare break from the tennis tour.
As her former Home And Away colleagues partied at television’s most exciting night of the year, Bec stayed at home, amid fears that she’s turned her back on her former life and become trapped in her no-frills, suburban world.
A-list to suburbs
At the 2006 TV Week Logies, Bec wowed the audience by appearing on stage with Mia in gorgeous matching Zimmermann outfits. What a difference two years makes. Now, it’s been 18 months since her last red carpet appearance, she rarely sees her old celebrity pals and she won’t even venture into the city for a haircut, preferring to remain close to her home in Sydney’s north-west suburbs.
