Cody Simpson ACTING IS MY NEW PASSION

THE GIFTED STAR IS NOW MAKING A SPLASH ON SCREEN

- By Celia Whitley

Cody Simpson is a man of many talents. Having tried his hand, and succeeded, at singing and swimming careers, the 28-year-old’s focus is now solely on acting – and he’s already landed his first role in a scripted TV show!

In the Stan original whodunnit series, He Had It Coming, Cody plays a university athlete named Scott. Sitting down with New Idea, Cody says he really enjoyed sinking his teeth into the part – although he is quick to stress that they are nothing alike!

“I got to play [someone] in contrast to who I am as a person,” he says. “As an actor, it’s always fun to be able to step into such polarising shoes.”

He Had It Coming stars Lydia West and Natasha Liu Bordizzo as two friends who become embroiled in on-campus gender politics and a murder.
