Is there anything the comedian can’t do? Apparently so Adam Hills, best known as the quick-witted host of The Last Leg, has come a long way from being a sports-mad kid who once hid his foot prosthesis. Poised to become the President of the Rugby Football League, the Australian comedian and TV presenter opens up about his passion for para-standing tennis, mingling with royalty, and even a short-lived foray into music.
I grew up in Australia in the 1970s and we played cricket in the backyard or on the street. Tennis and rugby league were my two big sports. I never saw myself as having a disability. It genuinely didn’t stop me from doing anything. It wasn’t until I saw the 2012 Paralympics that I thought, oh my God, I want to be one of those disabled people – they look really cool. Was tennis your first love? He traded in a tennis career for stand-up Yes. I started playing aged five.
