Away with Stephen Curry: ‘My biggest travel regret? Going to Pisa and not seeing the Leaning Tower’

Stephen Curry is very funny – something Australia first learned when we met the actor as Dale Kerrigan in The Castle in 1997. But while Curry has a great many comedy hits under his belt, he’s also adept at more dramatic roles. His latest is as JJ Walker in Ten Pound Poms, the Stan series about the tribulations of British citizens who migrated to Australia after the second world war, which returns to screens this month.

While his work in Australian film and TV keeps him busy, between gigs Curry makes time for travel. Here, the screen star tells us about the good and bad of his holidays, as well as sharing his refreshing philosophy on how to manage long-haul flights.
