Basically just the normal stuff you'd expect. He's 17! He flies around the world! In First Class! And it barely costs him anything! He has four credit cards! (That his parents got for him).

He appears to follow in the Ben model of acting and dressing like a forty something middle management type. Honestly good luck to him though - nothing wrong with making some money and doing something you enjoy.

That was a joke to watch. They make it sound like he gets to fly everywhere for free in F just by using his credit cards to buy toilet paper and other household goods. He comes off as a socially awkward teen trying to be all grown up. As the presenters said at the end he's basically freeloading off his parents.

Silly me, I thought Australian TV had higher standards then being part of pushing the myth of fly for free in first.
