Matt’s Reason For Leaving Home And Away
After the schedule stopped, Matt realised his life had been swallowed by constant filming. He spent most of the time doing auditions. Elsewhere, he also pushed himself into doing things he never had a chance to explore earlier. From his tone, it can be understood that he had a lot of noise inside and is now becoming quiet suddenly. He isnt feeling guilty for the same.
He needed to take that break, as for the past four years, he had been working early call times and quick script tunes. And now he is trying to focus on what really matters to him. He said he is waiting for the right project to arrive. However, nothing is confirmed, but still, we got a hint that something might be working in the background. Moreover, before he left the show, he also found his love. And now his relationship has been the most steady thing in life.

Moreover, he spoke warmly about his partner as she understands the chaos of the soap world. He also said it feels good to support her from the outside. Many fans first recognised him for his music. However, now that they have stepped a little into the shadows. Matt admitted he hasnt abandoned it, though. However, acting is his priority now. It’s because he wants to explore film and TV with full attention. He also wants to give a try at mixing both passions. It might be a biopic or a musical-driven project.
Matt Would Celebrate Christmas At Home
Elsewhere, he has finally got a chance to return home. He would be returning to Perth for Christmas. It was something he couldn’t do because of his tight schedule. He was relieved when he spoke about the big family celebrations. And so he looks forward to this reunion all year.

Along with personal and career shifts, Matt has given time to the Light the World Giving Machines. The donations were not a casual campaign for him. He said one item, a small teddy, stopped him for a moment because it reminded him of how one can mean everything to a child.
He talked about how he grew up with gifts and family gatherings. And that awareness made the idea of giving something meaningful feel more important to him now. For more Home and Away spoilers and updates, keep following Soap Opera Daily.
