Ask some entertainers their age and they visibly bristle, but former Shortland Street actor Mike Edward is only too happy to share.
“I don’t mind at all – I’m proud of my age,” says Mike, who turns 49 at the end of the year. “There’s some really cool things which come with living long enough. I hope I’m a bit wiser. I’ve certainly made a lot of mistakes and learnt from them. Now I really treasure the relationships and the time I have.”
