I’m a 30-year-old Aussie living in a sharehouse with six people. This is VERY extreme sacrifice I’m willing to make to my body to buy a house

A millennial actor who lives in a Melbourne house with six housemates says he would consider selling his kidney to buy his own home.

Jack Braddy, 30, says many people of his generation would consider extreme measures to afford a home with a mortgage.

“People would dismiss it as ridiculous, but given the current situation, people might look at it and say, ‘Maybe I can manage with one kidney, and reduce the deposit on the house,'” he told Daily Mail Australia.

‘Housing crisis, cost of living, 20 years ago you couldn’t write this.

“I live in a four-bedroom house with six other people. I would like to swap the situation.”

Braddy is so disillusioned with the plight of young people that he collaborated on the 97-minute black comedy The Organist. The film is about an ethically compromised young man, Graeme Sloan, who makes a living by conning poor people into selling their vital organs.

“There is a growing anger and quiet desperation, especially among my generation. It is an expression of what you have to do to secure your future, whether that is by donating your organ or being the one who traffics it,” he said.

‘He buys them from the poor, he sells them to the rich – he’s very ethically ambiguous, but he believes he’s doing the right thing somehow.

“The organ system is failing, so the best we can do is sort of spread the wealth.”

“You can take out a lung. Livers are a hot commodity – you can take out about 80 percent of your liver and it will grow back, so it’s basically all kinds of body parts.”

Tickets for the comedy show at the upcoming Melbourne International Film Festival sold out within two hours, while housing in major Australian cities remains unaffordable for people on an average income.

“There’s a camaraderie that develops between everyone who’s going through a hard time right now and hopefully this film will speak to that,” he said.

“We have no solutions, we only have levitations and laughter.”

The film, which Braddy co-wrote with director Andy Burkitt and Xavier Nathan, was made on a shoestring budget of thousands of dollars — about the same as a used Toyota.

“Let’s say a used Camry,” he joked.

In between acting roles, Braddy worked as a bartender and applied for jobs at Airtasker, making furniture and assembling Ikea items.

“I’ve worked in bars, I run quizzes, I do odd jobs – I do as much as I can in the spare time I have,” he said.

“Any small job that doesn’t take much time and that I can do quickly.”

Braddy is the son of Paul Braddy, a former Queensland Labor police officer and Minister for Education. He studied acting at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts in Perth, where he became friends with Hugo Wran, the son of Neville Wran, the former New South Wales Labor Premier, and half-brother of Kim Wran, an actress with the Young Doctors party in the 1970s.

Hugo Wran’s sister, Harriet Wran, was sentenced to two years in prison for her complicity in a 2014 murder in Sydney, which was linked to a drug deal.

Jack Braddy says that meeting his father’s political enemies within the Labor Party as a child made him aware of the dark tendencies of politicians to pose as a kind of on-screen actor.

“I remember going to quite a few barbecues as a kid and shaking hands with politicians and seeing a lot of smiling faces that I know had tried to stab my dad in the back at one time,” he said.

“I definitely think there’s a world to explore and I definitely see similarities between a salesman and a politician. If you put two of them in a room, I probably wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.”

Braddy said there are similarities between the organ dealer character he plays on screen and the dark side of many politicians who convince themselves they are doing the right thing.

“He’s a slimeball, a scumbag. I think he has good intentions. He’s convinced himself that if he can get organs to the right people, he’s an egalitarian,” he said.

‘He just uses his charm and his snake-like mannerisms to get where he needs to be.

‘Appearances can be deceiving and he is very good at showing one side of himself and keeping the other side hidden.’
