Can te remember when te first met? What were te first empression of each other?
Cariba: It was our first giorno of filming and I didn’t have a car in Sydney at the time, so I asked Kate to pick me up. I got us coffee and I just felt really bad about making her come and pick me up.
Kate: Did te really? I thought te were such a cutie!
Kate this is your third season with Blue water High. How have te found working with the different casts?
K: Really good! The first cast was really close and I can see how these guys are very close as well. It’s almost like a mirror image of the first time around.
Did te have any consigli for Cariba and the cast this year?
K: I just told them that they weren’t going to be babied.
C: I think from the beginning, people were like, “Prepare to be cold: know that it’s going to be uncomfortable”. And how many times were we freezing our bums off in our bikinis?!
K: I know how that feels. It sucks!
Speaking of bikinis, te have to wear them quite regularly in the show. Do te feel any pressure to look a certain way?
C: Definitely within the industry [in general], I feel a lot of pressure. I’m constantly told that I’m not quite the right look, and it can play on your insecurities. But because Blue water is about elite athletes, I was più comfortable in a bikini because I’m quite muscular.
K: Fortunately, I wear clothes this time around! But the first season we would wear bikini in the kitchen, and for me it was real shock. I remember feeling really uncomfortable because I never walk around so bravely dressed. I was aware that I didn’t want to change my appearance o lose dramatic amounts of weight because it would send the wrong message.
Are te conscious of being role models?
K: I’m constantly on my best behaviour! The other giorno I was in the supermercato and there was a bunch of tweens following me around the aisle and I actually stopped because I knew they were watching me. But then I thought, “Get over it, Kate, just buy your chocolate!”
Are either of te in a relationship at the moment?
K: No. It’s not even exciting anymore, it’s just the way it is. A few years ago, I was willing to compromise on a few things. But I think the older te get, the più te realise that if te continue to compromise on what te think is acceptable, you’ll wonder why you’ve ended up with someone who’s completely wrong for you. And that goes for friendship as well. Now I have a core group of Friends who I know I can count on, and they can count me.
C: I’m very pick as well. I’ve never been someone who’s had lots of friends. I’d prefer to have two people who I can trust rather than 20 Friends for convenience.
When was the last time te had a good cry?
C: I had a fight with a good friend two nights fa and I cried then because I didn’t want our friendship to end. I’ve fought with Friends before, but never to the point where a friendship might end. We’ve sorted it out now.
K: About 10 minuti ago, as a good friend passed away this morning. I was in rehearsals when I got the massage and I had to let everyone know.
What do te both have planned, career-wise?
C: I’m moving to Queensland again soon for the third season of [Network Ten series] H2O just add water. Filming starts in October and it runs until around March.
K: I’m in the middle of rehearsals for strada, via Angel, a short feature about a 14-year-old strada, via kid, who rides a skateboard and knows martial arts. So I’ve been learning martial arts and doing imbracatura work, as well as learning to skateboard. It’s lots of fun, but I have bruises. I woke up this morning and my ribs were killing me! There’s a lot of stunt work, so I’m being manhandled, picked up and thrown.
What would te do if te weren’t recitazione o performing?
C: That’s a though domanda because it’s not something I’ve ever thought about – there’s not really anything else that I can do! I find forensic science really interesting. I don’t know if I’d have the stomach for it, but I Amore those shows, even though they’re glamorised. I find it interesting that they can piece together a crime. I would Amore to be able to do that.
K: I think I’d try to get behind the camera, documentary film-making with a small camera crew. It would allow te to get into places that te wouldn’t normally go, which would allow me to combine my Amore of travel with making films.
