Neighbors star Tim Kano hints at a return to the iconic soap as he joins other stars on Virgin Australia’s Pride flight to Sydney ahead of Mardi Gras
Neighbors star Tim Kano was spotted on a Pride flight to Sydney on Friday to celebrate the world’s largest gay and lesbian festival.
The 36-year-old New Zealand actor secured a seat on the Melbourne Virgin Australia Pride Flight as he geared up for his second Mardi Gras event after competing a few years ago.
He joined a group of thousands of passengers, including Heartbreak High stars Angie Kent, Asher Yasbincek and Gemma Chua-Tran, Jack Vidgen, Danielle Laidley, Brodie Townsend and Carlotta.
Meanwhile, Tim opened up about his own sexuality and why he wanted to support Sydney World Pride month.
“I never really thought about it, I’m a little bit of everything I guess and I’m definitely here to support Pride and the community,” he told the Daily telegram.

The TV star was tight-lipped about the Neighbors reboot set to air this year, but hinted at a return to the series.
“There will be a few announcements next week about what’s coming up, the new cast and the future of the show, it’s just great,” he said.
Tim played Leo Tanaka on Neighbors for six years until the series was canceled last year, and he wanted to be a part of the newly announced revival.

“It’s iconic and it’s very important that it comes back,” he said.
He talked about how the series pushed for marriage equality in their storylines while the debate was taking place.
“It was groundbreaking and at the forefront of Australian television in terms of inclusion, which is why it’s so great to be part of it in terms of diversity and sexuality,” he said.
Virgin Airlines scheduled several Pride flights to Sydney from Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and San Francisco.
