Australian actor Bryan Brown is that special breed of thespian – almost always an Aussie, and sometimes a Kiwi – who is as comfortable in command of an audience at the famous Old Vic as he is telling his mates a yarn in a beer garden at the local pub. Humble and candid, in this cover feature with journalist Rachelle Unreich, he discusses becoming a better person by acknowledging his struggle with anxiety, and how that understanding of human fragility – which does not discriminate – informs his performance in the gorgeous new Australian movie Palm Beach. ●

COVER STORY

Revealing the life of Bryan At 72, Bryan Brown has a deep knowledge of the challenges facing the Baby Boomer characters in his new Australian movie Palm Beach.

B

ryan Brown doesn’t understand Instagram. Oh, he gets its machinations all right, but he looks flummoxed when I say that congratulations are almost due, with his daughter Matilda’s then-pending birth to Bryan’s first grandson.

I know it’s a boy, and I even know that his intended name is Zan, thanks to Matilda’s social media account.

Brown shakes his head and laughs; I figure he’s a hash-it-outer, rather than a hashtagger.

None of this is to say that Brown is behind the times; to wit, he has produced and is starring in a most contemporary movie, Palm Beach.

At first, it sounds like The Big Chill a few decades on: a group of close friends gather together in the same house for three days, reminiscing and comparing notes on where they are in life.

There’s appealing music and a stellar cast, including Brown, Sam Neill, Greta Scacchi, Richard E. Grant, Jacqueline McKenzie and Brown’s aforementioned daughter Matilda Brown.

But closer scrutiny reveals that Palm Beach deals with some hefty psychological issues among the 50plus set. It centres on a group of people who’ve achieved many of life’s typical goals – they have families, work successes, marriages – and yet each faces a certain emptiness.

Ostensibly, it’s a film about friendship, kinship, love. But it also deftly deals with mental health challenges – especially among men – and other themes that prick the viewer’s thoughts long after the film has ended.

They’re topics not often talked about: the way (some) men are in danger of losing their identity once their job ends, the subconscious way (some) men want their sons to be just like them – and feel disappointed when they’re not – and the way (some) relationships might falter due to the sheer passage of time. Later-life crisis, it seems, puts the boom back into Baby Boomers.

DOM A IN REV IEW

Brown came up with the idea after holidaying with friends in Wales. There, he realised that his comrades “were all dealing with different things.

One of my good mates had been a terrific businessman. Funny bastard. Sold his business, was bumping into walls. Another mate had been made redundant. Was still going to the same restaurant and shaking hands with the maitre d’ every three days because that was his identity.

“Another bloke had been up and down with drink problems all his life, and sometimes it was there and sometimes it wasn’t … Almost every one of those blokes was walking in quicksand. All very capable people, all successful in their own right, and all with many years in front of them.”

Brown, a man largely seen as having it all – if “all” includes four decades of fame, three kids and a successful Hollywood marriage, as Palm Beach’s director and co-writer, the actress Rachel Ward, is also his wife of 36 years – discovered he had challenges, too. “I’d gone through a period of anxiety that I’d been dealing with, that I didn’t know I had.

I thought I had a physical sickness,” he says. “[But it was] a mental sickness than had come on from 15 years ago, when I got very ill on a movie in Los Angeles and was rushed into intensive care.

“Life … isn’t worthwhile without struggle. It’s part of what the human being does.”

“I didn’t realise that every time I travelled from there on, I was building up this anxiety ... It was no little thing for six months. Even once I realised [what it was], I still had to deal with it, but at least I knew what I was dealing with.”

Before then, he says, “I was one of those blokes that, if someone would say ‘so and so’s depressed’ who had everything going for him, I’d say, 'Oh, tell him to pull his finger out’. When this happened to me, I became a better bloke. Sometimes you can’t pull your finger out.”

It’s clear that Brown works hard to be better and do better, lending a hand to an array of causes.

He’s an ambassador for the Australian Alzheimer’s Research Foundation and he headed the We’re Better Than This campaign to end the practice of holding children in detention centres.

He’s also a patron for the Bankstown Arts Centre, which formerly housed the public pool responsible for his 25-yards freestyle swimming certificate, when he was still a kid being raised in Bankstown commission housing.

Despite having nearly 100 acting credits to his name – which include the seminal Australian movie Breaker Morant, the Oscar nominated Gorillas in the Mist, the recent Sweet Country (a favourite among film critics) and a hilarious comic turn in the Ben Stiller-Jennifer Aniston film Along Came Polly – he also has a common-guy’s way of engaging.

When I make a point about Palm Beach – that it’s about people who learn that altering their perception of their own lives is more powerful than changing their actual reality – I do so in a fumbling fashion. Instead of nodding and moving on, Brown leans forward and says, “Explain that to me better”.

He is a man who prefers to converse, rather than just answer questions.

And he doesn’t want to just talk about himself.

Instead, we veer into other territory: how brilliant he found the Ricky Gervais TV series After Life to be, and the fact that he’s animated 50 of Michael Leunig’s cartoons.

He surfs, is a voracious reader (especially of crime fiction), does Pilates four times a week and loves rugby league. He likes to wander around the streets of his inner-city suburb in Sydney, and talk to shopkeepers.

“I know every bank teller, bloody coffee shop bloke, sports store owner in my area. Every one of them. I’m a dreadful yacker.”

At 72, he’s handsome, affable, charismatic.

He smiles with his eyes. His gaze is as direct as a Google map. To sit with Bryan Brown is to remember, despite his I’m-just-a-regular-guy folksiness, that he is a Movie Star.

But he’s aware of his need to combat that.

Bryan’s Melbourne Favourite restaurant?

You will always catch me eating at Caffe e Cucina on Chapel Street, because when you’re on a good thing, stick to it.

Place of peace & quiet?

The bath in my room at Como Melbourne serves as a place of quiet reflection as I ponder the floating duck.

Must-visit for art & culture?

Whenever possible, I wonder the National Gallery of Victoria for exhibitions and people-watching.

“I think the thing that can happen in my game is you can live in a bubble [but] life’s really outside the bubble. I’ll get on a ferry and go into town.

Watch people. Say g’day to someone. And you sort of go, ‘How lovely is this? How lovely is the real world?’

“And I think that’s the thing that the movie hopefully says. Of course, we struggle. Life doesn’t exist without struggle; it isn’t worthwhile without struggle. It’s part of what the human being does.

But I’m often amazed by the people I see and the struggles they have. From those people, I see the most extraordinary generosity.” ● ● Palm Beach (Universal Pictures) is in cinemas from August 8.

DIANA CHAN \ CHEF ST YLE

Mighty mushrooms

L

GREG BRIGGS

arb originates from Laos and Thailand. It usually consists of minced meat such as beef, pork, or chicken cooked with fresh herbs, a sweet and salty sauce and a bucket load of chillies.

I decided to do a vegetarian version of this dish.

I first had it at one of my all-time favourite restaurants in Bangkok, Supanniga.

I stumbled upon this place about eight years ago and, on my recent trip back to Bangkok this April, it was good to know that it was still there and they now have a few outlets and have been awarded one Michelin star.

Mushrooms are a great substitute for meat as they are very meaty and take on different flavours very well. The sauce is usually made of fish sauce but I've substituted it with soy sauce to keep it all vegetarian. ●

Top journalist’s inside account

I

n April 2013, Adele Ferguson received a phone message that was to trigger the chain of events that culminated in the banking royal commission.

The Gold Walkley award-winning business journalist begins her searing book with the voicemail left by then Nationals senator John “Wacka” Williams, with whom she had worked previously to expose dodgy behaviour in the insolvency industry.

Williams had a whistle-blower who had documents showing the Commonwealth Bank engaging in all sorts of deceptive conduct that left many of its customers in the lurch.

From here, Ferguson recounts, in at times truly shocking detail, the catalogue of misdeeds by the major banks and big insurance companies that chief executives and boards were turning a blind eye to in the aggressive pursuit of bigger and bigger profits.

Yes, we’ve by now all heard the appalling stories, but Banking Bad gives us a unique insight into how Ferguson, and her colleagues at The Age and the ABC’s Four Corners program, went about piecing together just how systemic the fraud and deception really was in Australia’s financial services sector.

Ferguson’s pacy writing style gives the book the air of a corporate thriller and she reveals attempts to smear her reputation, through false allegations of ethical misconduct. Disturbingly, Ferguson recounts

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
