This week on TV Reload, I’m joined by beloved actor and activist Samuel Johnson, whose incredible life story is being featured on Australian Story (ABC, 8pm Monday 19th May)

From his breakout role in The Secret Life of Us to winning a Gold Logie and raising over $20 million through his charity Love Your Sister, Sam has become one of Australia’s most inspiring public figures. But behind the accolades is a man who has faced immense personal grief and hardship and come through it with unshakable vulnerability and admirable strength.

In this special episode, we chat about the highs, the heartbreaks, and the decision to finally share his full story on Australian Story. Sam opens up about what he expected from the experience, what scared him, and what he hopes audiences will take away.

It’s a raw, honest, and moving conversation with one of the country’s true heroes.
