Matt Krok was the loveable “chubby” kid who stole Australian hearts in the Sorbent Toilet Tissue adverts from the 1990s.

Now, 25 years on from the commercial that made him famous, Matt Krok is happily married to long-term partner Jade and content to be out of the spotlight.

Although it’s more than two decades since the ads, Matt tells us during his exclusive Woman’s Day photoshoot that he still gets recognised today.

“Every so often someone will remember my face,” he says.

“Coincidentally, my family still use Sorbent toilet paper!”

Who could forget the Sorbent cutie?

Nowadays his life is a world away from the cameras. Matt 
and Jade are dedicated Mormons who first met at church during their teens.

The couple are the proud parents to their three children Pacey, seven, Leo, four, and 22-month-old Everett.
