Matt Wright speaks out following court appearance
Australian TV star, Matt Wright, speaks out following court appearance
Crocodile wrangler, Matt Wright, has given his first public interview since appearing in court.
The Outback Wrangler star has revealed he flew in the same helicopter that crashed and killed Chris “Willow” Wilson, just days prior.
“I flew on that same helicopter with my family only days before. I would never put my team or my family in danger.”
Speaking to The Sunday Telegraph, Wright says he remains devastated about the loss of his friend and is hurt by assumptions safety is not his top priority.
He continues, adding “it’s been an extremely tough time on everyone,” especially with the birth of his second child, Dusty, just a few weeks ago.
Meanwhile, the fallout from this incident just keeps growing for the 43-year-old.
Wright will reappear in a Darwin court in January after being charged with seven serious criminal offences.
This has seen his first major sponsor pull the plug.
Popular beer company, Great Northern, suspending its relationship with the star.
The croc wrangler has appeared in several commercials for the brand, often with his late co-star, Wilson.
Wright won’t be appearing in any further promotional material for Great Northern until the matter has been finalised in court.
“I look forward to clearing my name and returning to doing what I love best,” Wright said.
“Ensuring people get to experience and understand the true and special nature of crocodiles and the Northern Territory.”
Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
