‘[If my future girlfriend can cook] it would be a bonus, but I would like to learn to cook myself so that way she doesn’t have to do all the cooking,’ Michael told Daily Mail Australia.

‘Because, like they say, every woman likes a man that knows how to cook. And that’s one less thing that I’ll be embarrassed about,’ the Wollongong-based Nelflix star added.
