WHO

I am proud to say that this issue of WHO features some very inspiring women. Newly crowned Australian of the Year, body positivity champion Taryn Brumfitt, spelt out her mission in her impassioned speech when she was awarded the honour by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on January 25. Find out what her plans for the year ahead are on page 36. Married at First Sight bride Lyndall Grace has bravely opened up about her quest for love while living with a chronic illness, both on the show and in our interview – on page 32. It can’t have been easy for her to be so open about a very personal battle, but I couldn’t be more thrilled for her to have seemingly been matched with a very decent husband in Cameron…

Kids everywhere may go wild for The Wiggles, but one of its members has been attracting attention of a different kind recently. John Pearce, aka ‘Big, Strong John’ Purple Wiggle, has become a breakout star of the band – but his fans are a little older than the show’s intended demographic. Parents and non-parents alike are going gaga for the 31-year-old since he posted a ‘thirst trap’ TikTok video on January 18. The social media clip shows ‘John Wiggle’ in his signature purple skivvy bumping into ‘Justice Crew John’ in a singlet and shorts, complete with bulging muscles, tattoos and his smouldering good looks. “Bro, I’m going to start watching The Wiggles and I don’t even have a kid,” one follower commented on the video. “Dude, my kids are over The Wiggles…

The Hemsworths have hit the road again and this time, the family of five are meeting the local wildlife while on safari in Kenya. It’s the latest adventure for the Marvel movie star, who is on an extended break from acting to instead spend time making memories with his kids. “One of the most memorable trips,” Chris Hemsworth posted. The Australian actor is serious about enjoying his life with his those closest to him. While filming docuseries Limitless last year, Hemsworth, 39, discovered he has a genetic predisposition for developing Alzheimer’s disease and, as a result, he announced that he would take time off work to focus on his family. “It’s not like I’ve been handed my resignation though,” Hemsworth told Vanity Fair magazine. But working on that series, which explored…

It’s been almost 20 years since How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days hit the big screen, but there’s still a lot of love for the rom-com starring Kate Hudson. “It is so re-watched,” the 43-year-old recently shared, commenting on its renewed popularity with the younger generation thanks to TikTok. “It’s so fun, and right now I have all these young girls like 18, 19, who come up to me and it’s all How to Lose a Guy. It’s so fun. I love it.” Hudson starred alongside Matthew McConaughey in the 2003 film as Andie Anderson, the writer who looks for a man she can love and lose in 10 days. The film was an instant hit, raking in over $250 million at the box office. And it seems despite being…
