Speaker 1: What a roller coaster roll?

9
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 3: Controversial human being.

10
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 4: Very much so, very very compromised human being, but also

11
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 4: an honor to play in a story that we all

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 4: love and to represent something a part of a SuperStar's

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 4: life that people need to know, and that whom she

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 4: wanted people to know, this story and how intimate it

15
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 4: was and how you know, at times very dark it got.

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: So there's there's a reason for its purpose, Tina Turner.

17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: You know, everyone has their favorite artists, and the out

18
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: said I like you. I've never heard anyone say, oh

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: yeah Tina Turner and I don't like much like her.

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: Doesn't but it doesn't matter if she's not their face.

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: But no one's ever said on I don't.

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: Care for her.

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 4: That universe never thought that till now. Yeah, there's no

24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 4: one being like, yeah, yeah she's yeah, and I mean

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: she was, she was lightning and people really don't understand

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: that she was. They used to call her James Brown

27
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 4: in the skirt like she was phenomenal beyond beliefs. So

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: she she high heels heels, James.

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: Brown, I did it in high Come on, James, you

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 2: need to step it up.

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 5: And we know a lot of things she went through,

32
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 5: but she was an incredible comeback point because Rod Stewart,

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 5: I think helped her go on a tour in the

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 5: eighties and all of a sudden there was a second phase.

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 5: We just went over the top.

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: At forty four years old, just from from the pits

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: of the graveyards of Las Vegas and then to worldwide stardom.

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that that is.

39
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 4: The comeback story, and it's a special you want it,

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: and it very much inspires me to kind of just

41
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 4: keep going.

42
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,400

00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: she knows what's going on.

47
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: She said.

48
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,680

Speaker 2: for you?

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Grueling? Yeah? Yes, Mentally, I think she went through.

51
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: About twelve Every team had to go to twelve.

52
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,800

Speaker 4: through the n r L.

124
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 3: And it's simply the best.

125
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I was I was a camera boy at

126
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,800

129
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 4: I just it inspires me to my core. So MJ,

130
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: Tina Elvis, that's these are the guys that I love

131
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 4: to be around.

132
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: So let's let's blow a few minds.

133
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: There's going to be some people listening now that haven't

134
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: made the connection yet that that you're tim O Magic. Yes, okay,

135
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: you made you were so you think you can dance?

136
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: You were on Australia It's got talent. You came up

137
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: that way, tell us on Australia's got talent. There are

138
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: people that still say you was robbed, So what a bit?

139
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: What's this fan Facebook page that popped.

140
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: Up from your time? Look, I came third.

141
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 4: There's there's there was an urban myth after the fact

142
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 4: because it obviously launched my career that I won. Yeah,

143
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: and in some ways I really did win in terms

144
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 4: of launching something. But I did come third. The first

145
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: place was Jack Vision, who was fourteen at the time. Phenomenal, yeah,

146
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: and second place Costina the Magician.

147
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah it was Yeah.

148
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 4: It was a phenomenal year. So but yeah, look it

149
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: was what it was. I don't think I got robbed

150
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 4: now because I was knew that. It was just I

151
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: just needed a platform and then and then it was

152
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 4: off to the racist.

153
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: All three of you very well.

154
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: But it's pretty amazing when you come third, but there's

155
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: a perception out there that you'd won, because yeah, that's.

156
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 4: What Yeah, I saw you like, no, yeah, I get

Speaker 4: And this is a time where there wasn't really any

163
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 4: social media, so the social consciousness was very focused on that.

164
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 4: So I'm grateful that I kind of slipped in and

165
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,600

166
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,560

171
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: celebration of the life of Nelson Mandela, which is is

172
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 2: there a role that you would just.

173
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: You know, liked. I love that one one day, one

174
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: day I want to play that. Look, I'd say it

175
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: would have to be something in film a TV. That's where.

176
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: That's where it's going.

177
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 4: I feel like theatre has been amazing and I feel

178
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 4: like this role i'm currently is the apex of what

179
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: I feel.

180
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, theater is for me at this time.

181
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 4: So the next frontier is definitely a film and TV

182
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: role that is that is gritty and that and that

183
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 4: is transforming.

184
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,400

185
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 4: Mulan Rouge, I was playing it, you know, to loose

186
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: the trek who's a French you know, impressionist and having

187
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 4: to learn, you know, how to speak in a French

188
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 4: accent and die. I love I love the process. I'm

189
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: a processed guy. So I think, yeah, film and TV

190
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 4: would be the next front.

191
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: Well, we love people like lin Manuel Miranda who's so yes,

192
