34: Matthew Ridge

Matthew Ridge is a New Zealand sporting and Television celebrity who most Kiwis probably have an opinion about, whether they have met him or not.

He was a tennis champion during his teens. Then switched to rugby and briefly made the All Blacks before switching to rugby league where he made a name for himself as one of the most gifted and highest paid players in the world.

After retiring from sport he enjoyed more success as a TV star and half of an incredibly successful comedy duo with Marc Ellis.

Despite living so much of his life on TV and in magazines, Matthew is a relatively private person these days so it was a real honour to sit down with him for a conversation about many different aspects of his life- sports, fame, love, divorce, parenthood, legal troubles, drugs, reputation and much much more.

Hope you guys like this one. Thanks for listening.
