Beau Ryan revealed what it’s really like working with Survivor star Jonathan LaPaglia on Thursday as the duo talked Top Gear Australia ahead of its release next week.
Gearing up for the reboot of the motoring reality series, The Amazing Race host, 38, poked fun at his elder co-host, 54.
While he had plenty of praise for the Channel 10 star, Beau said he needed to lighten up because he was always ‘very intense’, reported Herald Sun.
‘He’s very patient, very intense, mature and all that, but boring and needs to cheer up a bit,’ the former rugby star told the publication.
Jonathan didn’t take the criticism lying down, as he hit back by saying working with Beau and their third co-star Blair Joscelyne was like working with children.

‘It was like being with two 12-year-olds, who have eaten too much sugar. It was a lot,’ he said, joking that it was difficult to get a word in when they started bantering.
However, Blair, 45, chimed in and said: ‘I think the role of children is to try to keep the older people young… we have got to try to keep him zesty.’
It comes after the reboot of Top Gear Australia released its first official trailer ahead of the new season’s highly anticipated premiere.
