Suzi Taylor Stuns at AACTA Awards With Actor

Suzi Taylor looked very glamorous on Friday when she arrived at the Home of the Arts (HOTA) on the Gold Coast to attend the annual AACTA Awards. 

The former Block star-turned-sex worker, 53, looked decades younger than her years amid her current life transformation after hitting rock bottom. 

Shocking onlookers with her arrival, the ex reality TV star didn't appear to have a care in the world as she posed for photos with actors David Wenham and Todd Lasance.  

She shared the images to her Instagram account, revealing she and The Lord of the Rings star, 60, actually go way back.

'Look at these two larrikins. Over 20 years ago, David and I worked together on Gettin' Square,' she captioned the post.

'And here we are tonight at the AACTAs. Funny how life comes full circle.'

Suzi also shared a second photo of just herself and David, writing: 'Off to the AACTA Awards on the Gold Coast tonight.

'We're so looking forward to being entertained by our amazing host, Celeste Barber, and all the big moments ahead. Stay tuned… I'll keep you posted!' 

Suzi stunned in a black dress which sat off her shoulders with a sweetheart neckline.

She paired the look with sparling diamond earrings and opted for a very glamorous smoky eye and nude lip to finish off her look.

Meanwhile, David and Todd, 40, looked very dapper in their black tuxedos.

It comes just a few months after Suzi spoke candidly about hitting rock bottom and finding a way forward in a raw Instagram video shared in December.

The TV star told followers she had endured 'rejection, abandonment and some of the darkest moments of her life', but said she refused to let her past define her future.

'Hello. If you haven't heard my story, it's not a pretty one. I've been through a lot,' she began, adding she had reached breaking point both mentally and emotionally.

Fallen Block star Suzi Taylor reveals how she is transforming her life after 'hitting rock bottom'

'I hit the bottom mentally, emotionally. I faced rejection, abandonment, and some very dark moments in my own head, but I'm still here.'

Taylor said survival did not come from pretending everything was fine, but from learning to reset herself 'one day at a time, one breath at a time', adding that personal responsibility and resilience had helped her fight back.

'I survived and I learned how to fight back, not by pretending everything was okay, but by learning how to reset myself one day at a time, one breath at a time,' she said.

Almost a year earlier, Suzi had shared a candid confession to her social media in 2024.

Posting a selfie for her followers, she shared that the past few years, during which she had been mired in legal woes, had taught her a 'heartbreaking' lesson.

'The past few years have been filled with heartbreak. Losing loved ones, the absence of my children in my life,' she began her emotional post.

She claimed family members had cut ties with her due to exaggerated media reports without 'ever seeking to understand the truth'.

'This experience has been a heartbreaking lesson in the meaning of family and unconditional love,' she wrote.

The candid post continued with Suzi admitting the situation had forced her to redefine what family means.

'Even in the midst of such profound loss and isolation, I have found resilience,' she said.

'I have learned family isn't always defined by blood; it can be the unexpected souls who step in during our darkest moments,' she said.

Finishing the expansive post, Suzi said she was hopeful the new year would be more positive.
