Life Of Lara
ELLE Australia|January/February 2019

Model turned businesswoman Lara Worthington is hitting her stride and determined to make a difference.

Life Of Lara

LARA WORTHINGTON HAS BARELY HAD ANY SLEEP. Not because of some Hollywood party or fashionably late catch-up with famous friends. In fact, a middle-of-the-night bathroom run resulting in a blind tumble over a misplaced chair is to blame. With her husband away working and her boys sound asleep, Worthington spent the early hours of the morning lying awake, concerned that her nose (having taken the full brunt of the fall) might swell ahead of today’s cover shoot. It hasn’t. A faint red mark is just visible across the bridge, which is centred perfectly in the middle of an otherwise remarkably unblemished face. In the light of day she can laugh about it, flashing her signature megawatt grin and instantly disarming the entire crew. She’s happy to be here. “Any time to shoot is like a little holiday for me! It’s nice. I used to think it was work and now it’s like a little escape,” she laughs.

Life is non-stop for the Sydney-born model and entrepreneur, who relocated to LA from New York last year with husband, actor Sam Worthington, and sons, Rocket, 3, and Racer, 2. She’ll be taking the family to Canada shortly to join Sam who is there working, before director James Cameron’s Avatar sequels takes them on to New Zealand. “We travel so much. That’s the type of people we are, we love to be at home but then we love to leave. While [the boys] are young I think it’s just fine... no iPad, get out in the real world, it’s good,” she says. Consistency, though, has been key in the past 18 months. “My main focus has been on my children and I just slot in my work and my ideas where I can. I feel like the balance of both is really important for me to be able to be a great mum and a great wife – still having a sense of yourself is important.”
