Australian Story: Home Truths – Vincent Fantauzzo – 3 March
Documentary. When celebrated portrait artist Vincent Fantauzzo first appeared on Australian Story in 2019 to talk about his dyslexia, he received a phenomenal public response.
But at that time, Vincent wasn’t able to be entirely honest about his life story. After his father died, Vincent was able to confront his traumatic childhood in a way he had previously kept hidden – even from his wife, actor Asher Keddie.
‘He’s been able to break that cycle of dysfunction because he’s started to tell the truth,’ Asher tells Australian Story. Â
‘I’ve dealt with a lot of things I was hiding for a long time,’ says Vincent.
Now, Vincent is unveiling the painful reality of his relationship with his father and the dark truths of his childhood. And doing so has helped him become the type of father he wished he’d had.
