Meet the Made In Bondi breakout star whose ‘bizarre fake accent’ and infectious charm with the ladies have made him a hit with British viewers
As a local resident who has grown up in Bondi, I must say that I find the portrayal of my beloved suburb in this new reality show to be quite disappointing and far from authentic. The beachside community I know is diverse, vibrant, and filled with genuine people who care deeply about their neighborhood – not just a bunch of cosmetically enhanced, entitled rich kids craving attention.
Born in Bondi, Australia, actor Lawson Mahoney is most recognized for standing up against accusations of a fabricated accent. However, he has undeniably captured the hearts of viewers in the UK television scene.
The television personality, aged 22, is part of the cast for the current spin-off series of “Made in Chelsea” on E4, and viewers of the show have taken notice of them.
Born and nurtured in the Eastern Suburbs, Lawson has amassed a vast following due to his humorous and identifiable character.
In the early episodes of the show, his charm towards women, specifically Bella Salerno, aged 23, and Molly Paradice, also 23, has caught the attention of many.
Lawson exhibits a captivating allure and a history with multiple women, reminiscent of Spencer Matthews from Made in Chelsea, famed for his romantic exploits within the circles of SW3.
Initially, he made his debut on screen during a social event where the audience met the new team members. Accompanying him was his romantic partner and jewelry designer, Molly.
Yet, consistent with the MIC tradition, Bella, formerly associated with Lawson as a content creator, remained active and was far from content due to the unsatisfactory manner in which their relationship concluded.
Lawson ended things with Molly, explaining that he was still harboring feelings for Bella and couldn’t sustain their relationship any longer, a scenario reminiscent of a plotline from a Modern Family script.
Lawson is contracted with a modeling firm, and his Instagram account showcases numerous captivating photos from his collection.
On a recent episode of Gogglebox, an Australian native was spotlighted and became popular among the cast of the Channel 4 series.
Supporters of the spin-off series in the United Kingdom have openly expressed their admiration for Lawson, or Laws, in response to his latest social media updates.
‘From someone who has been a fan of Made In Chelsea since its beginning, I must say that your character vibes resonate strongly with me, suggesting you will be around for a while. I truly appreciate you and Charlie, and I wish you the best of luck with the show. Even those who may criticize you are finding enjoyment in what you’re doing.’
‘I enjoyed Made In Bondi so much that I wished you could have been part of Made In Chelsea as well.’
‘I love you Lawson! You are very likeable and you make the whole show worth watching, what a character (in a good way), hope to see more of you on TV’; ‘Just finished Made In Bondi. Lawson you are an absolute icon! Love you’;
“You absolutely bring life to the show – it wouldn’t be half as interesting without you!” (Paraphrasing: ‘Your literally making the show – would be so boring without you!’)
Wow, that was something else! I adore your acting skills, you’re simply outstanding; don’t let the critics get to you.
Recently, Lawson had to refute accusations that he deliberately altered his accent for the program, following observations by viewers about an uncommon dialect they noticed in him.
The famous personality from reality TV publicly posted an apology video on Instagram, acknowledging that some viewers found his humor offensive when mimicking a supposedly fake voice during the show.
He explained that he had been hit by bizarre speculation that he used a fake accent while filming after viewers took issue with how he pronounced certain words.
In response to the accusations in the playful video, Lawson emphasized that his on-screen demeanor was simply a reflection of how he typically behaves, dismissing the criticisms casually.
He said: ‘I’ve heard the whispers, I’ve heard them all the way through the grapevine and I wish to address these allegations, address the confusion, address the slander on my name that somehow I’m faking an accent on a TV show.
‘I have a unique way of speaking, my “Ls” are a little strange, a little South African if you will.
My grandmother once advised me, “If you aspire to be on TV or a movie star, make sure you pronounce your ‘T’s correctly and clearly!
I must confess, my heart pounded like a drum set during the tense early episodes of that reality TV show we all love. My nerves might have influenced how I delivered my lines, making them even more captivating, if I do say so myself!
He mentioned, “I’m unsure if you’ve seen the initial five episodes, but some of my recent acts left me feeling quite anxious! If I unintentionally upset anyone, please accept my sincere apologies.
‘I also laugh like a seagull, so I apologise to any seagulls that I might have offended.’
Urging fans to keep tuning into the show, he concluded: ‘But then again, if you’re hating on my voice then you must be watching it, which is good in my books!
‘Continue watching it and continue loathing the way I speak!’
Last week, Made In Bondi debuted on the Australian channel Seven, however, it received a wide range of responses, including some skepticism, from the local community.
As a devoted resident of this coastal town, I must express my disappointment over how our peaceful suburb is being represented in that popular reality TV series.
As a lifestyle expert speaking from personal experience, I want to clarify that Bondi is not merely a playground for a select group of individuals who flaunt their cosmetically enhanced appearances and demand unwarranted attention due to their perceived wealth. Instead, it’s a vibrant, diverse community with a rich history, and its essence transcends such narrow stereotypes.
According to another resident named Jean, what Bondi doesn’t require is additional media portrayals that perpetuate such unrealistic stereotypes about everyone being an influencer here.
In one of Sydney’s most multicultural neighborhoods, a vibrant sense of community thrives, yet it often goes unacknowledged.
A third resident quipped: ‘The real elite wouldn’t be caught dead doing this’.
The presentation of the show’s cast, who were mostly not native to the famous coastal town, sparked a variety of differing opinions and reactions among viewers.
As per Seven’s explanation, the reality TV show focuses on the authentic lives and relationships of young socialites residing in the prosperous Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, alongside the well-known Bondi Beach.
However, it appears that most of the cast members aren’t actually from Bondi, or even Sydney.
According to a source who spoke to The Sunday Telegraph, producers made considerable efforts to recruit genuine Bondi residents with a notable presence, yet their attempts were largely unsuccessful.
At first, producers aimed to enlist Montana Cox (model), Sophie Coote (fashion designer), Bernadette Fahey (Pilates instructor), and social figures Andy El-Bayeh and his spouse Harriet Williams.
When these attempts didn’t work as planned, they were left with no choice but to combine the contributions of influencers and socialites hailing from different areas across Australia instead.
As a devoted admirer, I’d like to share that the ensemble features Bella, who spent a significant portion of her youth in the enchanting landscapes of Europe; Molly hailing from the picturesque town of Scone in New South Wales countryside; and Isabella Cicero, a vibrant content creator based in Perth at 31 years old.
In this series, we find Pippa Hanan, a 22-year-old resident of Paddington, as well as Billy Daniels, a 32-year-old publicist who relocated to Paddington from Perth, and Lachlan McLean, a 27-year-old model hailing from Sydney’s northern beaches.
Raised in the Eastern Suburbs, Lawson was a student at the prestigious all-male private institution, The Scots College.
Jewellery designer Emma, 22, is believed to be the only cast member genuinely raised in Bondi.
According to many reports, most of the movie scenes were filmed near Brighton-le-Sands, which is roughly a 30-minute drive from Bondi Beach.
In my professional opinion, it’s quite evident that this production isn’t tailored for the Aussie demographic. Instead, it seems to be designed with a global audience in mind, an audience unfamiliar with our unique cultural nuances.
Participants were also reportedly paid as little as $240 for a day on set.
Contrastingly, the cast members on the Real Housewives of Sydney earn between $30,000 and $50,000 as per their contracts.
