Welcome to YoungHollywood. com.
Hey, Young Hollywood, I'm Jill Wilderman about to get my very first surfing lesson with one of Australia's hottest surfers, Kobe Aberton.
Bra Boys has become a documentary.
And our lives, you know, we had I was involved with a murder and riots and 300 on 300 versus police and you know, we made the movie for kids.
So if they're going for the same stuff that we're going through, hopefully they they can survive like we did it.
Located only 14 km from Sydney Harbour, lies Maroubra beach.
Now, how did it come about that Russell Crowe would narrate it?
He heard that we're making a DVD and he asked to have a look at it.
And then we're watching it one day and then I said, "Oh, but the narrator sounds terrible."
And then he's like, "Well, when I do it, it's gonna sound like this."
And he started talking.
We're like, "Whoa!"
Caught him all in there shooting up heroin.
I um said, "Get out of the house."
And my mom's boyfriend jumped up and hit me with um a baseball bat.
Tell us what Bra Boys is, what it means.
How that got started?
A lot of people around my way, their moms are either heroin addicts or alcoholics.
And there's a whole lot of us.
We made like a crew of guys.
We called the Bra Boys which is short for Maroubra, our beach that we're from.
And a lot of the guys who didn't join our crew are, you know, dead or in jail.
So I feel very blessed that we've done that.
You have an interesting tattoo that goes across.
Can you tell us about that?
It's kinda another thing within the Bra Boys but it's just something that I believe in.
You know, I I only ever had my brothers in my life and that's who I look out for.
Young Hollywood should should go and see Bra Boys.
It's an insight to a life that you know, without seeing the movie, you'd never believe in it.
Hey, Young Hollywood, this is KB Aberton here.
I'm about to teach Jill how to surf.
Basically, when the wave comes, chin up.
Don't look down cause if you look down, you'll fall down.
Okay, so one, two, three, hands flat and up.
Doing good.
She's just scared to get up.
I think she'll get up this wave.
I told you you'd get her up, didn't I?
