Justin Melvey

The Aussie soap star gets his kicks out of living dangerously, but for comfort he turns to chocolate and his ageing ugg boots.

LA-based TV heartthrob Justin Melvey, 37, thrives on acting and adrenalin. Known for his role on US daytime soap Days of Our Live, the former model and professional skier returned to Australia in 2004 to compete on the Seven Network’s Dancing with the Stars, and again last year on Celebrity Survivor. He loves hair-raising pastimes such as diving, bungee jumping and skydiving. “I’m a bit of an adrenalin junkie,” he laughs. “I love jumping out of plans and doing things at speed.” Living and working in America, Melvey misses the laid-back Aussie lifestyle. “When I come back to Australia I always go for a surf and catch up with my buddies,” he says, explaining that, if he’s not in the water, he’s on the slopes. “If I wasn’t acting, I’d be skiing,” he reveals. Next on Melvey’s agenda? He plans to eschew Sunset Boulevard and look for work at home. “I was born and bred in Sydney,” he says. “I want to bring my career back to Australia so I can be closer to my family.”
