Jackie O shared the story with Kyle Sandilands after he questioned her apprehensive response to news of The Castle icon Michael Caton’s 79th birthday.
After Kyle asked her if she liked Caton, she replied hesitantly that “it only takes one bad experience, doesn’t it?”
Jackie O went on to give her recollection of an awkward interaction between Caton and her husband at the time, Phil O’Neil, at the Australian People’s Choice Awards in the late nineties.
The couple, who were big fans of The Castle found themselves at the same after-party as Michael Caton, who played family-man Darryl Kerrigan in the Aussie classic, with Jackie O explaining that Phil went to gift Caton a bottle of wine as a tribute.
“Phil goes and buys a bottle of red wine and takes it over to Michael Caton and said ‘mate I just love you and what you do and I just want to give you this bottle of wine,’ and he [Michael] said ‘no thanks.’”
“Phil just walked back with the bottle of wine! He was so embarrassed.”
Jackie O further explained “I think [Michael] actually said worse than that if I’m honest… It was a polite way of saying go away.”
Kyle was surprised by the interaction, trying to think of a reason why the actor would be so abrupt.
“Was it a cheap bottle of wine? Did he not like wine? Was he an alcoholic?” he asked.
Jackie O explained that she wasn’t quite sure as she only saw the interaction and wasn’t able to hear the conversation, admitting Phil was embarrassed.
“It’s really hard to go up to a celebrity that you love because you’re nervous and you hope that they are going to be nice to you… you hear horror stories,” Jackie O told listeners.
“I just assume they are all going to be lovely” Kyle exclaimed.
“They’re not all lovely!” Jackie O confirmed.
