Vince Colosimo's fresh start as he moves into new home in Melbourne after narrowly avoiding time behind bars for $61,000 in fines

I’ve read through the article about Vince Colosimo’s struggles with fame and his brushes with the law. As someone who has never experienced the limelight or the harsh realities of addiction, it’s hard for me to fully understand the depth of his experiences. However, I can’t help but be moved by his words and the resilience he’s shown in the face of adversity.


Vince Colosimo appears to be having a fresh start. 

On Saturday, an Australian actor was observed relocating to a new residence with the assistance of a female companion.

A 57-year-old man showed up at a Melbourne residence with a truck, and as he got there, people observed him transferring goods from the truck’s bed, with the assistance of his companion.

At times, the useful star contributed to the upkeep of the property by employing a power tool on a wooden panel.

Vince appeared healthy with a relaxed fit shirt and roomy jeans stained with paint, along with black athletic shoes.

Before starting to work on apparent minor repairs, he kept going to and from the truck multiple times.

It seems the Underbelly actor is getting back on track after he suffered legal woes last year.  

In October, Vince revealed he was bullied growing up after starring as a teenage heartthrob on TV.

In his initial post-sentencing public engagement, which took place at an anti-bullying event in late August 2021, he acknowledged traffic fine debts amounting to $61,000 and admitted to driving under the influence of ice.

The Chopper star told those in the audience he had been a victim of ‘tall poppy syndrome’.

Colosimo shared that he faced a considerable amount of bullying at school in Carlton North, Melbourne, following his role as Gino on the popular series Moving Out.

The bullying began with derogatory remarks from neighbors, and later progressed to insulting comments from people he didn’t even know.

I was often asked, as I went about, “Do you know your own identity?” people would query, a fact I shared with the captivated audience during a broadcast on A Current Affair.

Regardless of where you went, you always drew a crowd, and at times, for less desirable reasons.

He said people have ‘preconceptions of who you are and where you’ve been’.

“I’ve experienced this frequently, and although I managed to get through it, I must admit, it had the potential to derail me significantly and hindered my progress.” – Colosimo to the audience.

He also shared a piece of advice to those struggling to deal with life’s challenges.

In simpler terms, “It depends on the people around you…” He shared, having good friends and a supportive sibling helped keep him humble.

Since then, Colosimo has shifted his focus to conducting acting workshops in Melbourne and collaborating on a documentary project with the Bully Zero organization.

Previously, Vince appeared before the Melbourne Magistrates Court in July of the previous year due to unpaid fines totaling $61,858.

I’ve confessed in court that my addiction to methamphetamines went unchecked since 2012, causing me to commit the offenses for which I now stand accused.

I found myself in a precarious situation when I had to appear before a magistrate for my repeated usage of a certain substance. Instead of admitting to my wrongdoing, I chose to explain how my prolonged engagement with the drug had taken a toll on me both mentally and financially. I shared how my savings had dwindled, and I was at risk of losing my home due to my inability to pay rent. The magistrate, showing understanding, granted me leniency based on my circumstances. It wasn’t an easy confession or situation to be in, but I knew I had to take responsibility for my actions while also highlighting the challenges I was facing.

As a committed follower, I’d have had to put in an hour of work for every forty dollars I owed under any payment plan. That equates to roughly sixty-four full days, working non-stop twenty-four hours a day.

Instead, Guillaum Bailin mandated that Colosimo had to complete 101 hours of community service without compensation during the following year in lieu of a $58,000 fine.
