‘To be honest, modelling was never a life goal or anything,’ he admitted.

But Australia’s ‘happiest refugee’ had no clue about the ban, his agent Andrew Laing told The Australian, until the ban was lifted in January following a protest by students for their reinstatement.

Anh came to Australia as a three-year-old on a boat from Vietnam and steadily worked his way into the spotlight through his creative talents as a painter – he’s a four-time Archibald Prize finalist – comedian, author and TV host.
