The popular singer has not appeared in a film since The Sapphires, but was inspired to step back on screen in family-friendly film Windcatcher.
Jessica Mauboy might be one of Australia’s most successful recording artists, with six top-10 albums and two ARIA awards, but when she stepped onto the set of family moviehad she made a feature film. And she had never played a character that didn’t sing. Even her leading role on Seven’s drama seriesAunty Cressida, an SES volunteer and primary carer of a dreamy 10-year-old runner called Percy Boy, Mauboy looked to the strong women in her life.
“Lennox is a triple threat, he can do no wrong,” says Mauboy. “He’s brilliant at acting, and also at just being a normal kid. It made me a better person, being in his presence. All the kids, Max Turner and Coco Greenstone, it was wonderful to be alongside these inspiring kids who have no filter. There was never a dull moment when the kids were not showing me a TikTok dance. They would whip out the phone and say, ‘Hey, Aunty Jess, can you do this move?’ and I’d have a little giggle to myself.
“It’s a song about empathy. It’s about giving time and space to someone who is having a difficult time, and who hasn’t quite discovered how to learn to deal with it. The fact that we could give it to the film made it extra special.”Australian Idol
