Vincent Fantauzzo and Matt Moran's bromance was an 'instant love'


READ MORE

We might not talk for a month, but I’d never go to Melbourne without letting him know and the same when he comes to Sydney. The more I hang around with him, the more I want to hang around with him. He’s a beautiful soul, a giving, loving guy and I would do anything for him. He’s genuine, he just likes me for me.


VINCENT: You meet some people and they feel like family. That’s Matt. I met him in a bar. I didn’t know who he was but we started talking and got on. We started texting each other; a real bromance. We were close friends very fast and it stayed that way.


When I go to his restaurants, he’s this powerhouse walking through, with everyone saying, “Yes, chef.” It’s amazing. When he’s with me, I can’t picture that. He’s a big strong guy but he’s very sensitive. He’s good to talk to. We ask each other for advice, we bounce ideas around, we trust each other. We joke, too. When I see him, he’ll ask me if I’ve put on weight, and I’ll ask him if he’s growing his hair.


Matt is one of the most ambitious people I know and that’s very inspiring. He’s a machine. He can go out all night, wake up early, go to the gym, then do some work. I don’t know where he gets the energy. It makes me think, “If he can do it, I can do it.” My mission is to do for art what chefs like Matt have done for food. If you asked a kid to name five contemporary Australian artists there’s no way they could do it, but they could easily name five chefs.


My art has had an impact on him. He’s collecting art, he opened his restaurant at the gallery. He’s always asking me to send him pictures of what I’m working on. He’s got no problem critiquing. If he asks, “Haven’t you done that before?”, maybe it’s time to try something new. It bothers me for a moment, then I listen. I can take criticism from him because he has my best interests at heart.

READ MORE Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print World Cup fever has crossed platforms. There was Harry Kane sneaking into India’s training sessions to meet Virat Kohli. And now there’s the All Blacks picking a XV made up of past and present cricketers. With the @cricketworldcup underway in England, we’ve taken a look at all the best players from past and present to select the ultimate Cricket XV! SQUAD NOTES https://t.co/B3rnj5OBuJ #CWC19 pic.twitter.com/KuUtPU77PT — All Blacks (@AllBlacks) June 2, 2019 And they’ve got some pretty cool reasons for picking some pretty cool players. Curtly Ambrose : If anyone wants to argue with this selection then take it up with Sir Curtly himself. We dare you. MS Dhoni : The Richie McCaw of Cricket. Enough said. Dwayne Leverock : Famous for his one-handed catch at the 2003 World Cup, the 130kg Bermudian would surely make just as big a splash on the rugby field. Jofra Archer runs in to bowl  Get...

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is on the rise, but not everyone is convinced

Image
READ MORE I can remember about 10 years ago going to a Cosmetex cosmetic surgery conference in Sydney where a doctor gave a demonstration, injecting the filler Restylane (a form of hyaluronic acid ) into a hooked nose; the de-bumping results were really impressive, and it only took 15 minutes. Since then there has been a steady rise in the use of nose fillers: also referred to as the non surgical nose job. Now, I have had the full-blown open rhinoplasty surgical version so am keen to drill down (pardon the pun) and find out more about the ins and outs of the “liquid nose job”. “Liquid nose jobs” are on the rise. Photo: Shutterstock Shereene Idriss a clinical instructor in dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and a cosmetic dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology in New York City, has lots to say on her #pillowtalkderm about the pitfalls of the liquid nose job. “Liquid rhinoplasty, as seen on social media, appears to be t...

Tens of thousands protest Trump's immigration laws in 700 cities

READ MORE Tens of thousands of demonstrators, baking in the heat and boiling mad at US immigration policy, marched across the country Saturday to protest the separation of families under President Donald Trump’s hardline agenda. Directly across from the White House, demonstrators filled Lafayette Square park in an atmosphere of both indignation and sadness, before marching toward the Capitol. “We don’t believe in borders, we don’t believe in walls,” Sebastian Medina-Tayac, of the Piscataway Indian Nation, declared in English and Spanish at the start of the rally dubbed “Families Belong Together.” Loudspeakers broadcast the cries of a child split from its relatives, as a Brazilian mother told of being separated from her own son. “I missed nine months of his life and it should never have happened,” said the woman, Jocelyn, whose case dates from before the practice of separating families intensified in May. “Shame! Shame!” ...
