Noni Hazlehurst ‘SOME GRANDKIDS WOULD BE LOVELY!'

The TV veteran opens up about her sons, divorce and why she’ll never do reality TV

Noni Hazlehurst laughs out loud when asked about her controversial nude scene in the Foxtel drama series The End, admitting that the kids, mums and dads who fell in love with her on Play School are sometimes shocked with her choices!

“I narrated a book a few years ago called Go The F**k To Sleep written by a father whose child didn’t sleep,” she recalls.

“I laughed like a dream when I saw this because my first child didn’t sleep through the night until he was two... a lot of parents have this issue and they suffer in silence and it’s very gruelling and draining. I think I trended on Twitter for a couple of days… ‘Oh my God, Noni swears!’”

Noni, 67, doesn’t set out to shock her fans, but she’d rather cause a few shockwaves than be typecast, as she approaches almost half a century on our screens. However, there’s one thing the acting legend vows she’ll never do – star in a reality TV show.

REALITY BITES

“I have a low boredom threshold,” she admits on a TV Blackbox podcast with Rob McKnight to promote her new show, in which she plays a lesbian hippie.
