Josh Newstead is a young actor and model.

Even as a child Josh stood out from those around him and, when he was 9, his parents deregistered him from school in order to home educate.

"I would never have had the chance to be who I want to be if I had stayed in school" Josh says. Home education gave him the space to be himself, to have the time to explore anything and everything that took his interest.

It also gave him the chance to follow his interest in acting, encouraged by his Father.
