Neighbours’ newcomer teases gay stripper romance

Neighbours
newcomer Matt Wilson has teased his character Aaron Brennan’s upcoming romantic storyline with Nate Kinski (Meyne Wyatt).
Speaking to DigitalSpy, the 26-year-old former aussieBum model – who arrived on Australian screens as male stripper Aaron Brennan earlier this month – revealed that the initial encounter between the pair is an ” absolute car crash”, after they set up Aaron’s brother Tyler.
“Tyler has a different motive as to why he needs to set them up,” Wilson said. “He’s not just playing cupid, he’s got something else that he needs to sort out! Tyler doesn’t put much thought into it!
“Although Aaron is quite an infectious person and everyone receives him really well, for some unbeknown reason Nate just gives him the cold shoulder. Aaron doesn’t really know how to handle that. The scene where Tyler tries to set us up is hilarious – it’s an absolute car crash of a scene!”
Speaking about his memorable entry to the show, which saw Aaron hired to strip off at a racy bingo night organised by Sheila Canning, Wilson added:
“There are two sides to that. The first one was, ‘Wow, I’m about to dance when I don’t have any dancing background or training!’ It was my first day on a new job with new colleagues and people that I didn’t know. I had to do this dance that I was 80% sure I could do but not 100%, so that was one side of the coin!
“But the other side of it was that I knew this could not be a better way to enter a show. Some people arrive on Neighbours in a taxi on the Street, but Aaron comes in with an absolute bang so I was quite honoured to be playing him.”
He continued: “Male revue dancers seem to be hot stuff at the moment – you’ve got Magic Mike coming out and now you’ve got Aaron on Neighbours. I’m absolutely honoured to be playing this role.”
