Australian actor @timdraxl has spent three decades moving between music, theatre, film and television, taking his wins as they come but refusing to confuse momentum with security.
Speaking to Esquire for our latest issue out now, the 44-year-old gets candid about his struggles and triumphs and how he's managed to persist in an industry that seemed ready to chew him up and spit him out.

W i s h m a g a z i n e - one of the biggest highlights of 2023 was being on the cover of WISH magazine which coincided with the release of ABC’s ‘In Our Blood’ and Sydney World Pride which culminated in both a Logie and AACTA nomination for Best Lead Actor.
Thank you to @davidmeagher for choosing me to combine luxury fashion with Pride and who I am as an individual and as an actor and artist. So humbled to have been chosen for the cover of such a prestigious fashion magazine @wishmagazine .

Farage appreciation post. Huge thanks to Joe and Katy Farage for their ongoing support over the years and wishing them and the whole @farageaustralia team all the best for their @afcaustralianfashionweek show today. Wish I could be there.
Some of my recent @farageaustralia looks styled by @mikeyayoubi , including a sneaky backstage video of me singing ‘Kissing You’ @sydneyoperahouse Concert Hall last year with the @operaaustralia orchestra.

Some photos and vids I never got around to posting of a friend’s private dinner at Villa Erba on the shores of Lake Como at the end of last year. One of the most beautiful dinners I’ve ever attended.
Random photo dump - party at @prada , time with my boy 🐕 , quick trip to mums, pop in to @rejuvaustralia for a skin refresh, my new wheels 🏍️, viewing at @bottegavenetaworld , last walk to work at @sydneyoperahouse for The Normal Heart @sydneytheatreco , friends at stage door and a freeloading ladybug.
I have long been a huge fan of L.G.R Eyewear (@lgrworld ) and gives me great pride to announce becoming an official ambassador for a brand whose story resonates with me deeply. A brand born from travel, shaped by history, and crafted with an old-world sensibility. From the deserts of Africa to the ateliers of Italy, these frames carry a sense of exploration, authenticity and deep connection to family.
Originally inspired by a discovery of vintage Italian frames in a dusty warehouse in Africa, L.G.R perfectly blends African adventure with Italian craftsmanship. Every pair is handmade in Italy using traditional techniques, carrying a design language that feels timeless, cinematic, and built for the journey.
Looking forward to sharing more adventures with L.G.R along the way.
Huge thanks to @lgrworld@propergoods_ & @mr_cameroncarter for making this happen.

In a time of fear and silence, their voices rose in anger and love. What an absolute honour to be entrusted with their story night after night. A story of a community fighting for dignity, visibility, and survival.
