FATHER AND DAUGHTER BRING THE LAUGHS ON TV‘S MEAN MUMS

- Karyn Henger

Not every parent can swap work stories with their child – especially when they’re just five years old. But for Mean Mums star Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, it’s part of the dinner conversation because he’s on set with his daughter every day.

Cori plays Freddy, the caretaker of Kate Sheppard School on TV3’s Mean Mums. And his character is father of his actual daughter Freddie, who plays Year One student Freddy Junior.

“It’s the best thing in the world,” says Cori, 38, of acting alongside the apple of his eye. “We get to hang out together every day. I feel pretty lucky to be able to do that.”

Freddie started school this year in July, only a few months after she took on the role of a Year One student on the popular series. “So yeah, it really has been a case of life imitating art,” Cori tells.
