Marc Ellis has lived a life worthy of a dozen chapters. From Scarfie hijinks at Otago University to becoming an All Black and Kiwi league international, he carved out a career across rugby and league with Otago, North Harbour, the Blues, Highlanders, Warriors and Kiwis.
Off the field, Marc co-founded Charlie’s Juice, eventually selling it to Asahi for $129 million, and became one of New Zealand’s biggest TV personalities on SportsCafe, Game of Two Halves and beyond – often alongside his infamous partner-in-crime, Matthew Ridge.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Marc reflects on:
The wild tours and “Susie” at the 1995 Rugby World Cup
SportsCafe chaos and his dynamic with Ridgey
The rise and sale of Charlie’s
Life after fame, media stunts and what he’s up to now
His views on success, fatherhood and living out of the spotlight
A true Kiwi icon – this is Marc Ellis like you’ve never heard him before.
