Luke Hemsworth brings us Deadloch’s most unsettling new character

Australian superstar Luke Hemsworth joins Popcorn Podcast to talk about his latest role as Jason Wade in Deadloch's second season. The croc tourism empire owner is the kind of guy who gives you the ick and Hemsworth breaks down what drew him to the character, why he was very determined not to base the walking red flag on wildlife warrior Steve Irwin – even though everyone (and Leigh!) keeps asking – and what it's like working in 40-degree Top End heat when you're explicitly forbidden from sweating. Plus, we dive into the eldest Hemsworth brother's history in the Northern Territory, what Australian crews do better than anyone and the story of the moustache that got him in trouble on another show – and then became Jason Wade's signature.
