For decades, the talented trifecta of Cameron, Andrew and Lockie Daddo have graced our screens and airwaves in all manner of shows and were considered the ultimate 90s heartthrobs.
And as one third of one of the most successful sibling trios in the Australian entertainment industry, Cameron Daddo knows a thing or two about trying to get men to open up about their struggles.
With Father’s Day fast approaching, the Home And Away star is using his platform to help spread a simple message by encouraging men to get out into their communities and talk to one another.
“My mission is just to get blokes talking,” Cameron explained in a new interview on The Morning Show on Tuesday.
“I think the more that we are able to practice communication, the better off our world is. The more we train and the more we practice in a confidential setting with other guys, the better we are in real-life situations,” the actor continued.
Putting his money where his mouth is, the 55-year-old has teamed up with My Men’s Team, which encourages men to come together within their communities to speak to one another and offer support.
“Just last week, I had a very awkward conversation that I needed to have with someone really close to me.”
“Because I had already had that type of conversation with my teammates, when I had a conversation with my friend, with that person, it went really well, because I had already done it before.”
“It could have gone either way. He could have said I was an idiot and went on his way, but we went way deeper and we are better mates as a result,” the Logie award-winning star admitted.

“Dad is amazing,” he beamed to Morning Show hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies.
Meanwhile the actor, who is married to supermodel Alison Brahe, also opened up about his shock return to Home And Away playing the late Evan’s long lost twin brother.
“Owen doesn’t know who Evan is – but we’re about to find out tomorrow night,” Cameron teased of the bombshell plot twist.
“Things were just going so well on Home And Away. I loved working there and it was just a mutual meeting there.”
“We were wondering how we could extend this because we already established that Evan was going to die.”
