After Crash, Soap Star May Regret Having Discussed His ‘2 Fast 2 Furious’ Aspirations

Readers of Dolly and TV Week magazines will have been shocked to hear that Home & Away star Todd Lasance (who plays the one with the alcoholic dad and was touched up by his war hero granddad when he was a kid and consequently likes to punch on, except when he’s moonily looking into the eyes of Belle aka Savings Brand Mischa Barton) was in a serious car accident on the weekend that required him to be taken to hospital via ambulance. However, fear not! His valuable face is unscathed, but I’m guessing both he and the Home & Away family will probably wince when they recall a particular interview snippet he gave last year – and it looks like Seven is already on the defensive.

A spokesman for the Seven network was keen to play down the accident.

The self-confessed “turbo-lover” bought the imported Toyota Supra – the “car of his dreams” – at the end of last year.

“I am going to work on it and make it absolutely, ridiculously fast,” Lasance is quoted on the Home and Away website in talking of his car.

Jolly good, Todd, that’s the sort of quote we all like to have come back to haunt us, like when I accidentally blew up an entire school fete and they dredged up some vox-pop I’d done about looking forward to getting home so I could read up on C4 explosives on the internet.
