Your chance to Zoom with Offspring star Matt Le Nevez

Aussie fans now have the chance to get a house call from Dr Patrick Reid, aka Offspring favourite Matt Le Nevez.

Exclusive: Offspring favourite Matt Le Nevez is offering private Zoom sessions with the star as a way to help raise funds for a Cambodian children’s charity close to his heart.

One of Australia’s most popular leading men is also one its most generous, giving his time as an ambassador for a new initiative to provide educational opportunities for rural kids in the South East Asian country which captured his imagination as a young actor starting out.

Despondent after filming a less-than-perfect movie in the early days of his career, Le Nevez first flew to Cambodia to “purge” himself of the project and became enamoured by the war-torn country and its people.

“It’s such an exceptional place and has a magic to it,” he told News Corp Australia.

“When I was there, I gave most of my money away and I left wanting to sponsor a young boy I met. Unfortunately, I lost the details and it’s haunted me ever since.”

Two decades later, he recently met Singapore-based Australian Victoria Miloschewsky who approached him for help with her three-year-old charity, PeopleStories Foundation, which offers scholarships and bicycles to impoverished children.

Now starring in US drama series Absentia and living in Los Angeles with his partner Michelle and their children, Levi and Wren, Le Nevez saw the web workshop in storytelling as a way for fans and corporates to connect with him, in exchange for valuable donations to the Cambodian charity.

“We can bring the silver screen to their computer screens,” he said.

“I really want to lend my support in any way I can,” he said, adding “we are so privileged in this job and I feel strongly about helping out ... it makes it all worthwhile.”
