The 27-year-old actor portrays gay stripper Aaron Brennan in the long-running Australian soap and has admitted he sometimes forgets he's no longer in character and finds himself glancing down at guys' peachy behinds, despite being happily engaged to his fiancée Sharn Norman.

Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "So you'll be doing a scene and a guy will walk past and you find yourself looking down at his bum and you kind of go, 'Hold on! I didn't mean that, that was just the character!' "

And, although he didn't have much acting experience prior to nabbing the daunting role last year, Matt didn't have too much of a problem getting into character.

He explained: "I took inspiration from my gay mates. I still haven't told them yet. There's one group in particular who all grew up in Manly , Australia - Oh there it is, I just gave it away, they're going to figure it out now - and we used to hang out quite a bit there and I figured they were the best kind of people to model it off. I've noticed everything they wear, the way they react to girls and the way they react to guys - it's completely different. I had to investigate a lot."
