By KRISTY JOHNSON FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA 10:11 24 Jan 2021, updated 12:36 24 Jan 2021 A single Toni Pearen relocated to Hollywood in pursuit of stardom in the 1990s, like many other
Australian actresses. And on Sunday's episode of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, the now-married star, 48, shared juicy details of her dating life in Los Angeles with Abbie
Chatfield. Toni recalled a very intense date with none other than American actress Marisa Tomei's brother. 'I actually never had an American boyfriend when I was there because
American men are intense,' the former E Street actress began. 'I remember I met this guy, I used to go to this cafe every single day. Do you know who Marisa Tomei is? She's an
actress, like quite a famous actress,' Toni told Abbie. RELATED ARTICLES 'Her brother,' Toni continued. 'He asked me out. He was fine. It was fine. We kissed.
Nothing amazing.' However, the brunette beauty went on to recall the very bizarre detail in their date that had her running for the hills. 'That night, he calls me, and he goes,
"As you know, I just broke up with my girlfriend and everything, and we have a dog. And I've just moved to this apartment and I can't take my dog. Could you take my
dog?"' Flabbergasted by the request after just one date, Toni told Abbie: 'I was like, "Um, no, I can't take your dog. I don't even know you".'
Abbie, who rolled around the floor in fits of laughter, later said in a piece to camera: 'I thought I had awful dating stories, but she has some beauties, absolute beauties.'
Marisa is an acclaimed Hollywood actress, having appeared in a multitude of films such as What Women Want, Anger Management, and Parental Guidance. The 56-year-old Academy Award
winner's brother is also an actor, Adam Tomei, 53. It's uncertain whether Toni was referring to Adam, or whether Marisa has a half-brother. Toni rose to fame in the 1990s,
playing Toni Windsor on E Street from the age of 17. She then moved on to a pop career, releasing hit singles such as In Your Room, I Want You and Walkway Lover. Toni appeared briefly on
Home and Away in 1994, before moving to America the following year, where she lived until 2002. After returning to Australia, Toni landed a role hosting Australia's Funniest Home Video
Show in 2003, leaving the show in January 2008. These days, Toni lives away from the spotlight, running a talent school, The Talent Co, with her business partner Raelee Hill. She is married
to Will Osmond and the couple share son Lucky and daughter Ever.
