Kyle Shilling, known for his role as Mali on Home and Away, has opened up about the surprising challenge he faces while playing his character. The 28-year-old actor admitted that he finds the intimacy scenes between Emily Weir’s character Mackenzie and her boyfriend Levi, portrayed by Tristan Gorey, to be the most difficult part of his job.
In the show, Mali shares a flat with Mackenzie, and things often become awkward when her character wants to be affectionate with Levi. In a recent behind-the-scenes video shared on Home and Away’s Instagram, Kyle confessed to his co-star Emily, “It’s always just being told to stay out of their house when there is… happening.” He humorously added, “It’s just a lot of intimacy in your home and it’s like, ‘Mali, get out’ while you [Mackenzie] are making out.”
This exchange was part of a new social media series called A Touch of Salt, where Emily Weir takes fans behind the scenes of the show, offering insights into her co-stars’ experiences on set.
