Samuel Johnson didn’t head to the star-studded Logies after parties

DESPITE winning the coveted Gold Logie last night, Samuel Johnson wasn’t interested in the after parties, and the actor has revealed why.

SAMUEL Johnson’s Gold Logie win would’ve scored him an invite to all of the most exclusive after parties last night, but despite that, the actor wasn’t interested.

Speaking to Kyle and Jackie Othis morning the actor, who won the Gold Logie for his role in the Molly Meldrum biopic Molly, gave his reasons for not heading to the after parties.

After Johnson admitted he’d been up all night and “had no sleep”, the radio hosts assumed he’d been at an after-party.

“What are they like?” they asked him, before he revealed he didn’t attend and instead headed straight to see his sister.

Sandilands supported his decision saying, “You haven’t got time to fraternise with other celebrities and coke binge parties, he’s got his family to look after”.

Johnson agreed with him, claiming: “I don’t need to be going and doing blow with all the Home and Away cast.”

The actor’s unfiltered sentence was met with a huge laugh from Jackie O before Kyle alleged, “We’ve all been there and done that”.

Johnson then claimed, “Mate, it’s always the kids, you think when will they learn” before telling Kyle “you and I have learnt from all of that, sweetheart”.

In his interview with the KIIS FM hosts, Johnson also addressed his now infamous Gold Logie speech that was “crashed” by Molly Meldrum halfway through.

“I still don’t really know what happened,” Johnson admitted. “It went for ages didn’t it.”

When Jackie asked the actor if he felt “robbed” by Meldrum, Johnson was quick to shut her down.

“I wouldn’t have the Gold without him,” he said.

“At the end of the day he did mention my father who had passed and my sister who he met when she was 11 at the Royal Children's Hospital so when I deciphered his speech afterwards I realised that he was coming from a really sweet place,” he added.

Johnson beat out last year’s Gold Logie winner and favourite Waleed Aly, along with other popular personalities Grant Denyer, Jessica Marais, Peter Helliar and Rodger Corser.

Backstage, the actor was humble about his win, putting it down to the community he’s built with his sister and their charity, Love Your Sister. Johnson established the charity in the wake of his sister’s diagnosis with terminal breast cancer at the age of 33. She is now 40.

The 38-year-old actor also told the radio hosts he’s done with acting until he’s raised the $10 million goal for Love Your Sister.

“I’ve promised the 380,000 people that make up our Love Your Sister village that I would devote myself fulltime to our village goal of raising $10 million for cancer research,” he said.

“We’re at four and a bit so until I’ve raised that other six I can’t take calls.”
