“I remember the first time I ever got asked to do an interview and I had no idea who it was going to be,I just got told to come and cover an event for Qantas,” Lamarre-Condon said.

“And it was John Travolta and Miranda Kerr. And I ended up doing a one-on-one interview,an exclusive one with them. And it just went from there. It was Matt Damon,Steve Carell… ”

Lamarre-Condon has registered a number of businesses over the years with the corporate regulator under names including Beau Lamarre and Beaumont Lamarre-Condon,ASIC documents show. One was his now-defunct celebrity website,The Australian Reporter.

The police officer was at the centre of an internal investigation in mid-2020 when he was filmed Tasering a man in Paddington who was allegedly in breach of bail on serious charges. He had joined NSW Police just one year earlier.

The constable and another officer were filmed wrestling with the wanted man. The footage sparked an internal review,then-NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian told the media in June 2020.

Lamarre-Condon was cleared of wrongdoing by the internal watchdog.
