ETHAN BROWNE (Tane) WITH MUM AROHA CLAIR

Ethan, what’s the most important life lesson your mother has taught you?

To use your ears more than you use your mouth. To always listen.

Why is your mother an inspiration to you?

She’s probably the most loving person I know. She’s always had my back and she was the one who inspired me to be an actor from a young age. And she’s been a Home and Away fan long before I joined the show, so she’s very excited I’m now appearing on it.

What’s your favourite Mother’s Day tradition?

If I’m back home [in New Zealand] on Mother’s Day, I’ll bring her scorched almonds, which she loves!
