Tim Robards Something to prove

With his movie star good looks, a loving and supportive family by his side, and a career so varied it’s impossible to predict what he might do next, it’s hard to believe that Tim Robards is anything but brimming with confidence. But the man who won hearts – and most importantly the one belonging to his now wife Anna Heinrich – as Australia’s first Bachelor had questions about himself that needed answering.

“I’ve had my challenges that are relative to me but when push comes to shove, how much grit have I actually got?” he tells WHO. Well, what better way to determine what you’re made of than a stint on SAS Australia

Having just turned 41, Robards says it was a mixture of a “midlife crisis” and feeling that his younger years of pushing himself had caught up with him and taken their toll. Listing a litany of recent injuries, – including a bicep torn off the bone, a ripped quad and five years of chronic back pain caused by an underlying infection – Robards, a chiropractor, explains that a big part of his incentive to go on the show was to rebuild a body that he could be confident wouldn’t fail him.
