Asher Keddie has revealed how the #MeToo movement improved relations between women in the workplace. 

The awareness campaign against sexual abuse, which proliferated in show business especially, held men in positions of power to account – but the actress says it also smoothed things over between women in the media space. 

‘Back then women were trying to find our voices in a different and more authentic way and that sometimes meant we were fighting each other or trying to push against each other to get ahead,’ she tells this week’s issue of Marie Claire Australia. 

‘I feel we’ve progressed, that we’re more aligned and way more supportive than we used to be. Certainly, that’s what’s happened in my life and industry.’ 

The 49-year-old stars in a stunning fashion shoot for the magazine, promoting her role in the Binge Original series, Strife.

Elsewhere, Asher offered a rare insight into her ten year marriage to artist husband Vincent Fantauzzo while discussing how the couple met.

The actress revealed in the November issue of Marie Claire, she met Vincent after her agent convinced her to let him paint a portrait of her.

She explained that while he was painting her, Vincent would look over the camera and they locked eyes.

‘I feel we’ve progressed, that we’re more aligned and way more supportive than we used to be. Certainly, that’s what’s happened in my life and industry’ she added

‘He still does that eyes above the camera; he’s very charming,’ she said.

Asher continued to say the couple love parenting their children together as it gives them ‘the feeling of togetherness’.

‘What we enjoy most – and I know we both feel like this – is sharing the parenting. I love that feeling of togetherness we have in parenting them and being part of their lives,’ she added.

She also shared a glimpse into the couple’s home life with their son, Valentino, and Vincent’s 11-year-old son Luca, from a previous marriage.

Asher and Vincent tied the knot in the beachside ceremony on Fiji’s Turtle Island in April 2014. 

The couple went on to welcome a son of their own, Valentino, in March 2015.

Vincent’s famous works include striking portraits of Julia Gillard, Baz Luhrmann and Heath Ledger, with his work highlighting the depth of Ledger’s mental struggle was revealed one month after his death in 2008.

The artist has a hotel in Brisbane named after him, which is filled with his paintings.

Vincent, a four-time Archibald People’s Choice prize winning artist, likes to spend time with his subjects before painting them, adding a personal relationship to his creative idea before putting his brush on the canvas.
