Tim said he was planning to head to Los Angeles to get as much work in as possible, starting with shooting a short film.
‘I’m just getting as much on my showreel as I can, because I’m not getting any younger. You’ve got to fully commit to it and give it a proper crack,’ he explained.
But Anna, who he met on the first season of The Bachelor in 2013, won’t be joining him as he chases his acting dreams.
‘I’ll just duck over and do it myself. If I’m busy filming all day, she’d be sitting around twiddling her fingers. She’s got work here,’ Tim said.

However, despite the long distance between their home in Sydney and Tim’s work in Los Angeles the muscular chiropractor is determined their relationship won’t be damaged.
‘Whatever we did, we’d make it work – whether you have to put in a bit of travel or whatever… I don’t think she’d be opposed to it,’ Tim said.
With Tim’s recent stint on Neighbours, the couple already had experience in living and working apart, with Tim filming in Melbourne while Anna stayed in their Sydney base.

Tim will play a handsome and wealthy investor who is set to shake things up on Ramsay Street.
His scenes are set to air on the iconic soap on October 5, and he gushed over the role to TV Week last month.
‘I’ve really enjoyed exploring the character, Pierce Greyson has a number layers to him so he is really interesting to play for sure,’ he said.
‘He is a hybrid of a Harvey Specter, sprinkle of Christian Grey and little bit of Robert Redford so it’s been great fun to explore.’
