Product prices and offer details are not assured, and should be confirmed independently with the retailer. Learn more From Tomorrow When the War Began to Underbelly, Lincoln Lewis has shared the screen with some of Australia's biggest names. As the son of NRL legend Wally Lewis, fame runs in his family but he's forged his own successful path in the entertainment industry. Most still remember him as soapie heart-throb Geoff Campbell from Home and Away (2007-2010), a role that not only made many teens swoon but launched his career and saw him compete on Dancing With The Stars … twice. These days you'll find Lincoln presenting on Getaway, racking up travel miles and perfecting the art of carry-on packing. Here, Lincoln opens up about his gym essentials, travel must-haves, and his mum's self-help book recommendations (yes, he actually reads them). Plus he shares his wildest fan encounters (one word: bizarre) and reveals the Home and Away co-star he says changed his life. WHAT'S IN YOUR GYM BAG? 'I train in Lululemon a lot, they have great gear.' 'I don't do over-ears at the gym, I tried that once and was just sweating into my earphones. So I do AirPods.' WHAT'S YOUR SIGNATURE SCENT? 'I've got a mix for different occasions, whether it's catching up with mates or going out to dinner but my everyday cologne is Ralph Lauren Polo.' WHAT ARE YOUR CARRY-ON ESSENTIALS? 'Sony headphones for the plane, the big noise cancelling ones.' Sony WH-CH720N Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones, $220.96 (down from $259.95) at Amazon Australia 'The Burt's Bees lip balm because when you're flying around you're going to dry up.' Burt's Bees 100% Natural Origin Moisturising Lip Balm, $5.99 at Amazon Australia 'I'll always take a book with me. I just bought one that mum told me to get, it's called The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins. Mum said 'Linc, you've got to read it, it's a phenomenal book.' The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins, $18 (down from $32.99) at Amazon Australia WHAT ELSE ARE YOU READING AT THE MOMENT? 'The other two books I always keep with me are The Alchemist and Manuscript Found in Accra – it's just a really nice couple of questions that villagers had asked an Elder, it puts things into perspective.' WHAT'S BEEN YOUR WEIRDEST FAN INTERACTION? 'I've been asked to sign the inside of a car, the outside of a car. Some people will even ask me to sign replica weapons from different movies that I've had nothing to do with.' DO YOU HAVE AN ICONIC STORY FROM YOUR TIME ON HOME AND AWAY? 'I remember my first ever call back with Ray Meagher (who played Alf Stewart). He could tell I was really nervous and he turns to the casting director and says 'take five, love'. So here I am, 16 years old, my first ever big callback and Ray gives me a little five minute acting class. I was clearly nervous and he just wanted to help me improve. It's a lesson I'll never forget.' Stay up to date with the latest on fitness products by signing up to our checkout shopping newsletter to see the latest about new products and upcoming sales.
