Johnny Ruffo & Jamila Rizvi have something surprising in common

Johnny Ruffo is an Australian singer, songwriter, dancer, actor, television personality and now a newly minted author, with his memoir No Finish Line.

Johnny auditioned for X-Factor Australia in 2011 on a whim and after placing third signed a recording contract with Sony. He won Dancing with the Stars the following year, released a debut single and joined the cast of Home and Away. Then Johnny started suffering from severe headaches, and after emergency surgery, woke up and was told he has brain cancer. By 2019 he was in remission but in 2020 the cancer returned. Five years on and he is still fighting - and he’s fighting to win.

In this conversation Jamila Rizvi and Johnny Ruffo discuss Johnny’s rise to super stardom, his on-going battle with brain cancer and discover they have something surprising in common.
