Neighbours' Des Clarke actor Paul Keane: 'I tried suicide amid drink and drugs hell'
Follow OK! on Threads here: https://www.threads.net/@ok_mag "Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours – just a friendly wave each morning, helps to make a better day," – so say the sugar-sweet lyrics to the theme song of the iconic Australian soap, Neighbours. If only life was really that easy, thinks Paul Keane, who played loveable Des Clarke on the show back in the 1980s. For Paul, now 65, hit rock bottom when he should have been enjoying the height of his fame, and even his co-stars Guy Pearce (who played Mike) and Craig McLachlan (Henry) couldn't help make it a better day.
