Lincoln Lewis says he's ‘slimy’, but his Spin Out co-star Travis Jeffery has a 'heart of gold'

Lincoln Lewis' latest role as a "slimy" city slicker is just a case of life imitating art for the former Home and Away actor... or so he jokes in a new interview with Be.

In the clip above to promote his new flick Spin Out, the actor is chatting about his cheeky character in the film, when his co-star Travis Jeffery begins to imply jokingly that the 28-year-old is a sleaze like his onscreen persona.

“To be honest with you… Trav is very much like [his character] Sparrow,” Lincoln says about Travis. “Like Sparrow, this bloke’s got a heart of gold. I’d happily give him the shirt off my back any day.”

Travis quips back, “He’s exactly like Nick,” before Lincoln interrupts with, "Just slimy, does anything to get what he wants.”

Travis interjects: “Nah, you’re the complete opposite. Apart from [the fact that] Nick’s really likeable, and you’re a likeable guy.”

“Thanks bro,” Lincoln says before high-fiving his co-star.

The actor, who plays Sydney lad Nick in the flick, also gushed with Travis over the country folk who left their jobs to work as extras on the flick, shot in Shepparton, Victoria.

“They were doing 10-hour days for free,” Travis says of the townsfolk who pitched in to make the movie happen.

But while Lincoln got to dress in his Sunday best and make out with girls for his role as Nick, Travis gets doused in human poo and mud, as well as getting dragged through the red dust for his part as Sparrow.

“I had the fun gig,” Travis laughs. “The mud fight was the kind of fun where it’s fun for about 15 minutes and then it’s horrible.

“Then the icy Shepparton winds blow in and then the next minute you have pneumonia. But it was amazing, how often do you get to do that.”
