I cannot believe we're looking at you.

They saw an article in the newspaper that you were coming, and there was a big of view in front of flint Of Street and we were like, is this some sort of cruel joke that they are saying she's coming?

But she never will and here.

You are here, here she is No, not a cruel joke at all. I'm very much so here, very much so excited to be here. Melbourne actually happens to be like one of my.

Favorite cities in the world. Why ever, since I was little, I just had a special special bond with Melbourne. I don't know what it is.

And now I have friends that live here and I don't know, just it's it's like I always have when I was all.

Like I want to live in Australia. I want to live in Melbourne.

Like that, you.

It's it's a fun set. It's a really fun set. It's my actual, my longest set that I've ever ever done.

And so it's seven seven songs.

In the last few years, obviously I had a tour where it was much more, but seven songs. It was the first time I'm performing my new song Iced Coffee, and first time I'm performed my song Guilty Pleasure, So we got a lot of first happening.

It's the first time Guilty Pleasures of the Wind.

Thank you.

It's fabulous, Thank you.

It's y'all.

I always I love to talk about gee Flip I. I make up an excuse anytime I can to bring them up. But earlier, actually last year, right around this time, they taught me how to drum. They gave me a drum lesson and ever since then, I fall in love with the drums and they become one of my best friends, and they've helped me out here and there with them, and tonight actually is my first time ever performing the drums, and they're going to be there to watch. So I'm

Foot each that you should look up. You know, I'm gonna sound like an old lady. Your mamould know this. Karen Carpenters sang and played the drums and there's an amazing little piece of.

Footage on Instagram. I'll find it. It's a great drum in Spo.

I like, I'm like, stay dial then stay focused, Like, don't flip that Flip's there, Like, just stay stay focused. There's just so much pressure with them drumming. Even anytime I post a video of me drumming on my close friends story, there's something that they you see. I'm like, oh, dear boy, here they here they go.

They're going to see it.

Do you get to hang out with g Flip and Christelle when they're in La or are your schedule nuts?

No?

We do, we do.

We Obviously it's very difficult because our schedules are very nuts, but we definitely make time, especially especially Flip and I Chrishelle. We've only hung out a couple of times, but we're actually getting like a little bit closer, which has been really nice.

So what do you do when you're hanging out such a great.

Question actually to honestly, like literally just can chat chat it up? And they're they're like family. Flip has really become like an older sibling team.

Cook, Like do you go to seven eleven?

We typically order, we typically order. Last night we ordered Chinese food.

What's you order? What's your Chinese order?

I got some noodles. They were like egg noodles of chicken. They were very good for lunch.

Some great Chinese Rushian. I couldn't tell you where, but yeah, we actually we made it this fun game one time.

It's called Dreams.

Bye.

We made up that I don't know, but it's basically like you play a song and then the other person was like commit to like really selling the song.

And it's our fun game called Dreams.

We play it now.

No, you have to be in like a really interesting mood to play dreams.

I'm never interested. We'll hang out.

We'll hang out and then okay, but why do you call it dreams exactly?

I have no idea Flip came up.

I love it. It's so intriguing.

I need to talk to you about Abby Lee Miller because I'm for your mental health. Because my daughter wanted me to watch it and I said, yes, I love all that stuff. And I watched three episodes and I said, Pig, I cannot watch another second of that woman verbally abusing these more children that I'm not. I said, if that woman spoke to you like that, I would live.

Yeah, I mean, look for me, it was a little different because I knew what I was getting myself into with the TV show, but and meeting Abby and being a part of the team. But I think I craved that sort of you know what I mean, And like, I don't know, I I think that I also know that like sixty hours a week is what we were together, and then what was actually aired was forty two minutes, and so like, of course, the most entertaining is what's going to be aired, you know what I mean.

But you know, there's some stuff that I watch back and.

I'm like, damn, yeah, damn.

Can I say as well, it's really.

She's very good to me. Now, let me say that she's very good to me.

Now.

It's really nice to say that you're so open to believe about talking about Dance Moms, because I feel like a lot of people move on from those types of shows and want to like forget it or pretend it to happen.

So that blows my mind, because like it is such a massive part of my past. I love this show and I will always I will always love Dance Moms. I will always care about it, and I will never ever when I race it.

For my past.

I agree.

I was on a TV show twenty one years ago, and there are some people that have done the same show that never want to talk about it.

Yeah. I love talking about it because I know the answers.

Yeah, you know what I mean.

I can't make it up to be anything about it your experience. Yeah I can be you know, I can answer it yep. Whereas if they ask me a harder questions, I don't know the answers. Yeah we know about that, brother, Yeah.

I can talk about it for days exactly.

How have you found always been in the limelight and such a public figure from such a young age.

I feel like it's almost like you were built for it. Do you feel like that?

Yeah?

I do.

I do.

I don't think it's for everybody at all. But I was a very different kind of child. I was very very different as a young young ling, and I don't know it just kind of I feel like it really is that, Like I really was shaped to be this and it's I want to.

Talk to your mom about it.

Do you struggle what do you struggle with been so famous? Now? Is there anything like the social media everything?

There's a lot of struggles. But at the end of the day, like I chose it, you know what I mean.

I always I have this thing with tattoos, like you cannot be like it hurts because like you're choosing to go get it, you know what I mean. And so that's my thing with fame, like any of the hardships that come with it, I'm continuing to choose it.

You know, favorite thing about everybody knowing who you are.

My favorite thing is getting to see people watch me through their eyes.

There it was just this little girl.

Her name is Kailani, and I love this little kiddo with all my heart. She's three years old. I met her in Starbucks and her mom's become a friend and just the kids Jojo obsessed and she's new Jojo obsess.

To not even old Jojo. She likes Jojo and Blue.

She asked me, She asked me if I could get her a blue souvenir and say hi to Blue in Australia.

I was like, absolutely anything for you, kiddo.

Anyways, she came to watch my show and watching her little young eyes just like light up with your joy like you cannot you cannot force that kind of joy. And so to see that it just like immelts my heart. Whether that be from a three year old or from thirty year older, from a nine year old, it just it's magic, amazing.

The Crissy Swan Show Jojo see what we cannot believe it?

That is me.

How are we?

I mean we've known you since how how old were you when we started in dance.

Mom nine nine?

It's been long twelve years believable, and you have been You've started multi million dollar bo business.

I mean, you've been just extraordinary.

One of the most interesting parts of your story is coming out tell us how that happened and whether or not it.

Just did one day.

Just know, I had a best friend who I was like, oh, it's not a best friend. And I was always open, always loved the LGBTQ IA plus community, but you know, just never never thought that that was me. But also never liked boys, and I just didn't know I was young. And yeah, anyways, I was sixteen, fell in love with my best friend. We ended up actually dating for nine months, had a beautiful relationship friends to the day like its great. But yeah, coming out actually I was a very natural thing.

Was like, yeah, this is this is me, this is this is this.

And did it feel good?

Because you would have been inundated with messages from other young people that had been struggling with this.

Gosh, I'm glad I did.

Yeah.

I think what always felt good to me is like the actually the older people that would say like I wish I had somebody like you as a kid, That to me was like amazing. That made me feel bed because there's kids now that do someone like me, you know what I mean, It's crazy.

It's crazy.

I recently saw you on Call Her Daddy and the podcast, and you were talking about how much you loved Miley's Bangers, mir Ever and how did that sort of help you with your rebrand at the start of the year.

I absolutely did.

I mean I I from a very young age, I've been very inspired by Miley Cyrus. I obviously handed Montana, you know, and that was a massive part of my childhood career and then growing in being an at all. It was for sure, I looked at Bangers as one of my biggest inspirations. I look at Bangers, Freddie Mercury,

Is Moley the one that's recently said that she won't be touring anymore because I'm uncomfortable.

Exclusively for Always Live.

Tonight at Summer Camps Tramp Party.

The Chrissy Swan Show. The Chrissy Swan Show. We are thrilled.

Welcome to the show star and beloved actor Hugo Weaving. We've loved him in Babe the Matrix, allt of the Rings, Priscilla, Quid of the Desert, and now we are set to love him in the new movie How to Make Gravy, which streams on Binge from Sunday.

Welcome Hugo Weaving, Hi Christy.

I am so excited for this feature film because the song how to Make Gravy by Paul Kelly is one of the most.

Beloved ditties in this country.

When you first read the script, did you say, oh my God, of course this is a movie waiting to happen.

Actually, I heard that the film was going to be made, and I thought, what a brilliant idea, because I love the song and I just thought it was the most fantastic idea for a film set around Christmas, about who we are in Australia now, about family, about Missy, your family, about all the all the typical familial problems we have around Christmas time. Yeah, and so I was really excited that the film was being made, and then and then I got to read the script and that was even more excited.

So, yeah, and you play the kindly lifer.

Yeah, there's a character.

Most of the characters in the film Paul has written about in the in the song, and so the family members are all written about, although you don't know who's who in the song, You've just got a list of names. But Megan Washington and Nick Waterman, who the co writers and Nick's the director of the of the film, created some characters in the prison as well, which is where Joe's writing his letter home from. And there's a character

Know.

I love it.

I mean the lyrics of the song. We all know Dan and Joe and Reader and Mary and Roger. And I'm sure the way that Paul Kelly wrote this song just evokes visuals. I can't believe that I'm going to be able to sit and watch this song come to life.

It is a quintessential Australian ballad, really, and it's about all of our families, and it's about a specific family, and it feels specific. And the way in which is beautiful production designed with his film, and it's set sort of now and sort of when the song was written. It's been elegantly created this world. It feels very true, feels very real, but it also has a timeless quality to it. I think it'll be really very warmly embraced by people all around the country.

And I also love that it's not an American Christmas vibe. It's like we've all got you know, Tim Allen, Santa Claus, that's what we've been left with, or The Grinch or whatever.

But Christmas in Australia, I don't know.

I've just always felt it's a bit melancholy and it's hot, and it's everything it shouldn't be. And I feel like this film is going to encapsulate.

That it does, and I'm sure it'll be embraced by everyone because of that. Really, it's a celebration of who we are. It's not about other people.

I can't wait.

It's so exciting streaming on Binge from December one, which is this Sunday Hugo. I remember as a young boy seeing you on the screen for the first time in Priscilla, and I think only now as sort of an adult, I've realized how much that movie meant to me growing up and hearing and seeing headlines that there's potentially a sequel in the works is really exciting. Can you speak to that or give us a little nugget of gold on what's happening?

Yeah, Well, we've been talking to Stephan Ellitt, who wrote and directed Priscilla way back when, and Guy Pearce and I and Terence Stamp have been we're all sort of on board with the you know, the the new the new Priscilla and where are the girls now? What are they up to? What's happening in their lives? And I mean the idea of doing a sequel is you have to have a very good reason to go back and do something like that. But there's a there's a it's

Before you went all in, Hugo, did you make sure that your legs still look great in your pair of stockings?

And I hope so well. I will have to get myself in shape.

You go, please stick around. We want to play a quick game with you after this. Make sure you stream how to Make Gravy. It's on Binge from December one, which is this Sunday.

I mean, yes, we want to play the game, but I want to play how to Make Gravy the song by Paul Kelly.
