Home and Away newcomer Tessa De Josselin feels comfortable in Summer Bay
HOME And Away’s freshest face Tessa De Josselin feels like she has lived in Summer Bay all her life.
She certainly has all the traits of a local; a keen surfer from the age of six, she attended Manly High School before going on to Sydney Uni to become an environmental educator.
De Josselin this month makes her debut as Billie, sister of the mysterious Ash (George Mason).
“It’s all a bit new and a bit full on,” she told the Confidential on Nova radio show last night. “Home And Away is a very big part of Australian TV and a great launching pad.”
De Josselin, 26, was not even born when the show first started in January 1988 but said she spent her formative years regularly tuning in on week nights.
“I watched it intensively for five years with my family every night before dinner,” she said.
After finishing her combined arts and science degree and working a corporate job, De Josselin bit the bullet and gave her dream job a proper shot.
Her previous work includes the Australian feature film Holding The Man, which is due out later this year and stars Ryan Corr, Guy Pearce and Anthony LaPaglia.
