Bachelor star Matty J Johnson has announced an unexpected career move!
The father-of-two took to Instagram on Monday night to reveal he landed a role in Stan’s latest original movie, Christmas Ransom.
“I’M IN A MOVIE!!! @stanaustralia were looking for someone to play role of Sam the firefighter and apparently I fit the bill. Mid-thirties, sensitive, a little slow (not sure if I should be offended or not)” Matty penned.
The 35-year-old shared a photo alongside co-star Chai Hansen.

Christmas Ransom, which will come out in time for the festive season, is a Stan Original Film from the creators of A Sunburnt Christmas.
The family flick features an ensemble of beloved Aussie stars, including comedian Matt Okine, TV Week Logie Award-winner Miranda Tapsell and Puberty Blues star Ed Oxenbould.

“With a lot of mischief and heart, it will give everyone the chance to laugh, cry and cheer together for a film that is sure to become one of Australia’s classic Christmas tales.”
While the upcoming Stan Original is Matty’s first foray into film, he has been a regular on Aussie TV since finding fame on The Bachelorette back in 2016.
In May, Matty announced he landed a special guest appearance on iconic ABC kids show Playschool.
“Today’s gig might be the best one I’ve ever gotten.. finished product coming soon! #bucketlist” the former reality star captioned a photo from the Playschool set.
Matty also enjoys regular appearances on The Living Room, Studio 10 and Have You Been Paying Attention?.
