Despite being a self-confessed "embarrassing dad", Beau has made it his mission to spend this holiday season being cool with his family.
Teaming up with PlayStation to 'Play It Cool' these holidays, Beau is encouraging you and the whole family to grab a control, pick a game and get involved.
"Being cool doesn't come easy for everyone," Beau says.
"Thankfully it’s something I’ve perfected over the years, so I’m happy to share my tips."
Being a busy dad of two, Beau knows how important it is to help wife Kara in any way he knows how - including taking the kids off her hands.
Beau tells New Idea, "For the men, one of the main things you can do is take the kids off your partners hands."
"I'm a bit full on as everybody probably knows," he adds, with a chuckle.
"Kara says I can get a bit 'in your face' at times, so whether I play games or watch movies on the PlayStation with my kids, it's about giving her a well-deserved break."
"That's one huge positive to #PlayingItCool."
With the mercury set to soar across Australia from December through to February, Beau knows it's all about moderation too.
"The way my wife has looked at it, it's about spending that really good, quality time with our kids before the New Year starts," he says.
"As a family, we're dividing up our time between being active and being together inside," he explains.
Don't be fooled though, Beau says the PlayStation is fun for the whole family, adding that his daughter is always one step ahead.
"My daughter, she's only six but she's going on twenty six," he jokes.
"She's always one step ahead of me in everything we do, so with the PlayStation it's fun watching her find her feet."
"...She's still better than me though," he adds.
The self-proclaimed 'expert on being cool' explains that it's not just about playing games with his family though.
Beau is excited to spend time relaxing with some good movies and TV.
"As a family, we spend a lot of family time together and the PlayStation has been good for us.
"We're just going to connect, put our phones down and just be present."
