Last King of the Cross actor Travis Jeffery answers some candid everyday questions …
The state of my hair right now is …
Newly shaved. My Head is feeling very naked!
The state of my heart right now is …
Very full! I’m lucky to have a lot of people, and things in my life that I’m really grateful for.

The best thing about acting is …
The tales I get to tell. I’ve been able to bring to life incredible characters and stories. I’ve met some of my closest friends in this industry! And the places I get to go are incredible. Shooting Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has taken me to some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen!
The most famous person I’ve met is …
Definitely Angelina Jolie…or Johnny Depp. That was on Unbroken and Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, and the casts and crews were incredible.
I’m often cast as …
A soldier, which I’ve played in seven productions, and I’m so proud of each one. When we hear about war, it’s often about the collective and easy to be lost amongst that. But to zoom in on the actual people who fight, and to tell their stories is very humbling, and a great honour.
If I could have one superpower it would be …
Flight for sure! Petrol is so expensive.
People don’t know that I once …
Broke my foot in New Orleans. What? The beers are cheap, and the sidewalks are a little uneven!
My autobiography would be called …
Travis Jeffery: A Life Defined by FOMO.
When the cameras aren’t rolling, I secretly…
Make terrariums with Tim Franklin (Home and Away). Although it’s not much of a secret, as I’ll tell anyone who’ll listen!
I’m shit scared of …
Confrontation. So, I’ll never start an argument.
If you want to make my blood boil, start talking about …
Littering, bullying, climate change or selfish parking. Poor parking etiquette really gets me going!
My most embarrassing moment on set was …
In Spin Out, where my character Sparrow was lifted off the ground in a bear hug by the beautiful Eddie Baroo (The Dry). I was in a very flattering pair of tightie whities and ended up with an extreme wedgie. It was quite a view for the cast and crew!
The last time I laughed hysterically was …
Recently when shooting a scene for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, where my character was eating a piece of fruit. Right at the most emotional moment, I took a bite and fired a jet of acidic mandarin juice straight into poor Owen Teague’s eye! Safe to say, I ruined that take.
My favourite all-time film character is …
Groot. Few words, big heart. Man of nature.
The song that makes me smile and want to dance is …
Once in a Lifetime, by Talking Heads. That does it for me every time.
People often mistake me for …
Cillian Murphy (Peaky Blinders) … which I’ll happily take!
My gay mates are …
Always right!
