George Pullar hasn’t been playing Tim Russell in Home and Away for long, but he’s already been caught up in some serious drama.
Away from Summer Bay, he isn’t the only familiar face in his family as his twin sister is well-known in Australia.
His first love might not have been acting, however, he’s already taken on some impressive roles since making his debut nearly 10 years ago.
Family life
George turns 29 this year and is originally from Brisbane in Australia.
He isn’t the only well-known person in his family, with his twin sister Annie working as a news reporter for Nine Network. The pair also have two other siblings.
First passion
Before finding a passion for acting, he pursued a football career – following his uncle’s background in the Australian Football League.
During his childhood, he played for a children’s club in Coorparoo and later the Kenmore Australian Football Club. It was during his time with the latter that he took a step back from the career due to a knee injury.
George discovered his love and gift for acting during his final two years of school, when his mum got him to study drama.
His drama teacher helped him audition for a place at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, which he later attended.
Acting career
George made his debut in the 2016 short film Riptide. He later starred in another short film Two Girls, One on Each Knee, in the drama series A Place to Call Home and in the TV show Fighting Season.
The actor joined the drama series Playing for Keeps in 2018, which focused on a group of AFL players and their wives’ personal lives.
That year he was also given one of ten Rising Stars awards by the Casting Guild of Australia.
George made his US-debut in the Paramount Network drama series Coyote.
He later appeared in the movie It Only Takes a Night, the short film Stonefishand the daram series Barons.
In 2024, it was announced that he would be joining Home and Away to play Tim Russell, a counsellor who gets involved with Eden Fowler played by Stephanie Panozzo.
Engagement
George is in a long-term relationship with Charlie Francis.
The couple first appeared on social media together in May 2021.
The soap star popped the big question in February 2024 with a stunning oval diamond engagement ring.
Sharing a picture of the happy couple, he captioned their announcement: “Have walked this beach many times together but this one goes down as the best – 16.02.24”.
The pair were all-smiles in the snap, with Charlie holding up her ring to the camera.
