Jay Bowen Australia gay escort

Australia's favourite small-screen actress Asher Keddie has split from husband Jay Bowen after five years of marriage. One of Australia's most in-demand actresses, Asher is yet to comment on the split since news of it emerged over the weekend. The Weekly spoke to Asher and her husband about their relationship last year, just weeks before it ended. When the question of starting a family with Jay came up, Asher revealed that she hated being asked about it, and told The Weekly she didn't believe she needed to have babies to be considered a success.

But I feel successful not doing it as well. I don't think, 'Oh gosh, I won't be quite there and I won't be as successful as I want to be unless I'm juggling a couple of kids, a marriage and a career. It's not that. It's that I don't know. Asher described her husband as an "awesome showman, part Michael Hutchence, part Freddy Mercury. Her features are accentuated today because she is excited by the presence of her new husband at the lunch break - it's his birthday and she pushed him to come up from Melbourne to celebrate.

But there is a lot more than birthday cake on Keddie's plate right now. The reprise of Julia is just the first of her projects to go to air in coming months. In an industry whose drought has been as severe as the Mallee's, it is testament to her abilities that she has been in steady work pretty much since first stepping on stage 10 years ago. It is thus surprising to hear memories of an adolescence dogged by shyness. Surely she was one of those teenage girls who knew the world was her oyster? She must have known she was attractive?

Keddie's eyes widen in genuine disbelief. Oh god no.

No, I was really embarrassed of myself as a teenager. I was very confident with my family but I felt quite uncomfortable with kids my own age. Raised in Sandringham with her sister, Bronte, four years her junior, Keddie went to St Michael's Grammar where there were regular offers for her to be involved in school plays and musicals.

I'd say, 'Yeah yeah, that'd be fun,' and then it would come time to audition and I just didn't want to. I didn't want to perform in front of my school friends. I wanted to be the same, I suppose, I didn't want to stand out at that point I was always in my own world, quite impenetrable - or so my mother says. Maybe most actors are like that. I've talked to a number of actors who have a similar story about growing up and feeling insecure.

From this fragile beginning, Keddie nevertheless developed an interest in screen acting. She found an agent and roles in miniseries and television dramas.

But the bug did not truly bite until she first stepped on stage - with just two days' notice after a film role made Frances O'Connor suddenly unavailable for an MTC production of Patrick Marber's Closer. Keddie explains: "There's part of me that loves the thrill of that kind of challenge, I just thought, 'As if you'd say no to that. Before I knew it I was in rehearsal and on the stage and it was the best feeling I'd ever had.

Of course, once I discovered it the stage , I couldn't get off it. I couldn't believe how much I enjoyed being in front of an audience, how much I enjoyed telling a story with that kind of immediacy. Steady theatre and screen work followed, but Keddie looks back on those roles with some regret. She feels she was so hampered by a lack of confidence that her performances were tight and constrained. She found support in people such as the MTC's Simon Phillips, a director who kept casting her in rigorous and demanding roles. Phillips, who is working in Germany, says that, even as a young actor, Keddie's sincerity has always been apparent.

From shy to shining

She's been well cast in this regard, playing many roles as a young performer for which this was the key quality required, but the point is she was up to it," Phillips says. Wife, mother, stepmother and, in this new series, sister played by Justine Clarke , the shades of Julia's life continue to unfold with the complexity and nuance audiences have come to expect from the show.

If Keddie still harboured doubts about her abilities as an actor she shed them with gusto in series two. Her performances as the unravelling Julia were so raw at times they were painful to watch.

Surrendering herself emotionally and sexually to a man who treated her with vicious contempt, Julia's self-esteem was pitifully low. Gritty as they were, the actress relished those scenes.
