Boys will be boys
Are Matthew Werkmeister and James Sorensen as close off-screen as on?
Matthew on James
How old is James?
Matthew: Either 22 or 23.
James: I'm 23.
Who does he live with?
M: He lives by himself.
J: Yes.
Where was he born?
M: I'll go with Frankston.
J: I was born in Bayswater, Victoria.
What does he usually eat for lunch?
M: Something healthy: a meal from the canteen, but with a salad, or yum cha with Peking duck or oysters, lightly steamed.
J: Spot on.
Does he have a girlfriend?
M: Not at the moment he doesn't, besides me.
J: Correct.
What sort of car does he drive?
M: A 1998 Porsche Boxster.
J: Well done. I can't believe that he got the year right!
What sort of music does he listen to?
M: Anything you can dance to.
J: That's right.
Can he cook?
M: Yes, but he's never cooked for me.
J: I can. I live alone so I'd better be able to.
What's been his favourite storyline on Neighbours so far?
M: Bridget's death as it really challenged him.
J: Definitely.
Does he have any pets?
M: No.
J: No, I don't.
Where are you most likely to find him in between scenes?
M: On the Wii playing Guitar Hero or on his Alienware laptop. It's the most expensive laptop you can get.
J: That's true.
What's his most annoying habit?
M: Generally distracting people on set. Or having his phone switched on while he's filming.
J: Well, I guess that it must be, then!
What's his best quality?
M: This is really awkward, but he's a great mentor to me; like the big brother I never had.
J: Well I can't disagree with that, can I?
Is he a health food fanatic or a junk food junkie?
M: He's mostly healthy.
J: I am.
What's his favourite drink?
M: Gin and tonic.
J: Absolutely.
Is he a party animal or a couch potato?
M: Party animal.
J: Definitely.
What's his favourite clothing label?
M: G-Star Raw and True Religion.
J: I've never worn True Religion in my life, but G-Star is right.
What's his pet peeve?
M: Certain other cast members, although I can't say who.
J: No, it's people with a lack of ambition!
James's verdict
I can't believe he got my age wrong - he came to my birthday recently. But he redeemed himself by getting the year of my car right!
James on Matthew
How old is Matthew?
James: 17.
Matthew: Correct.
Who does he live with?
J: His family. I've no idea what his sister's name is, but she's really hot.
M: Yes, and my sister's name is Melanie. I also have a brother, Scott.
Where was he born?
J: Next to the methane gas plant in Werribee? No, Cranbourne I think.
M: No, I was born in Noble Park (in Victoria).
What does he usually eat for lunch?
J: Chicken schnitzel with chips and gravy, which he gets everywhere.
M: Lately I've also had Nando's or yum cha.
Does he have a girlfriend?
J: Yes, he does. I don't know her name, though.
M: Yes.
What sort of car does he drive?
J: He gets chauffeured!
M: Correct.
What sort of music does he listen to?
J: Depressing emo stuff. No, alternative stuff.
M: Correct.
Can he cook?
J: I'd say he can do the basics: steak and mash, and pasta, probably.
M: That's about it, yes.
What's been his favourite storyline on Neighbours so far?
J: He loves the DJ Lost Boy stuff. Or anything to do with Danielle Horvat (Taylah) from last year.
M: That's right, too.
Does he have any pets?
J: I haven't been to his house for so long, so I don't know.
M: I have a dog, Remy, and a blue-tongued lizard called Spike.
Where are you most likely to find him in between scenes?
J: Probably playing Guitar Hero on Wii.
M: Yes.
What's his most annoying habit?
J: All of the younger cast have this bad habit of annoying each other when we're supposed to be concentrating on set.
M: A penchant for wearing skinny jeans.
What's his best quality?
J: His stunning good looks. No, his ability to make anyone laugh.
M: I'll go with that.
Is he a health food fanatic or a junk food junkie?
J: A junk food junkie!
M: Yes.
What's his favourite drink?
J: Bundaberg ginger beer.
M: Yes.
Is he a party animal or a couch potato?
J: Huge party animal!
M: I like to think so.
What's his favourite clothing label?
J: He doesn't really have one particular label that he loves.
M: That's about right.
What's his pet peeve?
J: Dishonesty.
