Guy Pearce ‘Wanted to Punch’ a ‘Snobby Actress’ for Mocking His Soap Opera Career to His Face: ‘Five Years Later, I Saw Her on Some S— Ad on TV’


Guy Pearce says fellow industry members piled on him for getting his start as a soap opera actor on Australia's "Neighbours."

“That said, it really was frowned upon,” Pearce added of “Neighbours,” which also served as a launching pad for talents like Kylie Minogue and Margot Robbie. Pearce is clearly proud of his soap opera roots, as he made a surprise return to “Neighbours” in 2022 for its series finale in Australia. Perhaps less memorable was a run of acting jobs he did in the late 2010s for the sole purpose of making money amid his divorce.
