Esther Anderson Fit & Fab At 40!

Home And Away’s Esther Anderson On Motherhood, Fitness And Life In Los Angeles

Former Home and Away star Esther Anderson has revealed the secret to looking half her age.

The 40-year-old model and actress spoke to New Idea from her Los Angeles home about raising her 11-month-old son, Forest, keeping fit and making it big in the fiercely competitive world of Hollywood.

But despite her success, our homegrown Summer Bay alum admits she often does miss being back home in Australia.

“There’s so much opportunity [here in LA] and this is where my husband [Howard Moggs] and I met, but there are just certain little things that I miss about home,” Esther says.

“There is still a part of me that would love to be close to my family, and Howard is definitely open to living in Australia at some point.

“I think Australia’s always going to have my heart.”

Esther was launched into stardom with a five-year stint playing ‘hot cop’ Charlie Buckton on the popular show.

She then took the plunge and made the big move across to the United States in 2012, after departing Summer Bay.
