Neighbours star Sharon Johal has signed with Chris and Liam Hemsworth ’s agent as she eyes a career overseas.
The Berri-born actress said joining Morrissey Management’s stable of celebrity clients - which also includes Jai Courtney, Jonathan LaPaglia, Tina Arena and Kate Ritchie - is a dream come true.
“This was my dream agent. They saw my work, they loved it and they see a bright future for me in Australia and beyond,” says Melbourne-based Johal, who’s in Adelaide with husband Ankur for the Vogue Fashion Festival this weekend.
“I absolutely love working on Neighbours and I’ll still be on there for some time to come but beyond that, I think it would be remiss of me not to try other characters.
“We’ve got such a massive fanbase in the UK. But there’s LA as well, diversity is huge at the moment and it’s really exciting for me to know that I could potentially get a lead role in a massive production whether it’s film or television.”
Johal, who joined Ten’s long-running soapie in 2017, said it’s great to be home for the revamped three-day Vogue event, which replaces the now-defunct Adelaide Fashion Festival.
“It’s really important that Adelaide is seen to be the place that I think it is: the most fashionable place in Australia,” said Johal, who attended the new GQ Supper Club dinner at Sean’s Kitchen on Thursday night.
“People have a level of class here that’s different to everywhere else. We have incredible designers. Just walking down Rundle St, and all the other bespoke designers in SA, they’re at such a high level it’s hard to go wrong here.”
