LARA WORTHINGTON OPENS UP ABOUT STAYING LOW KEY IN CALIFORNIA

More than a decade after Lara Worthington fronted that ill-fated $180 million Tourism Australia campaign, it’s the rest of us now asking: “Where the bloody hell are you?”

But the former bikini model and short-lived reality star’s new low-key lifestyle is no old school Bingle bungle — it’s very deliberate.

“I feel that as I get older, the less people know about me, the better,” Worthington told the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar Australia.

“I still use Instagram, but I’ve stopped posting too much about my life — just work stuff.

“To be honest, I don’t know if it bores me — maybe I’m over Instagram, or is because I have my family and it feels like I’m wasting time,” she said. The 31-year-old, her actor husband Sam and their two boys Rocket, 3, and Racer, 21 months, have just moved to Los Angeles from New York.

Sam Worthington is filming four back-to-back Avatar sequels with director James Cameron.

And his wife is enjoying the blissful anonymity the US offers.

“I’m just a little fish in a big sea here, so I just go about my day,” Worthington told her interviewer and friend Aussie actor Phoebe Tonkin.

“My 20s were about travel, parties, exploring, less responsibility,” Worthington, who was once engaged to Aussie cricketer and test captain Michael Clarke, said.

“My 30s feel more about routine.”

LARA WORTHINGTON SELLS OFF THE BASE STOCK AFTER WEBSITE MYSTERIOUSLY SHUTS DOWN

Rumours are swirling around the future of Lara Worthington’s beauty label The Base.

The Aussie model has been offloading stock at bargain ­prices with a fire sale on all products in recent weeks and the website mysteriously shutting down late last month.

But representatives for Worthington insist the label isn’t closing down, but rather preparing for a relaunch.

Confidential inquired about the future of the brand following months of promotions in which products were being flogged on The Base website for $20, even offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal on all stock in May.

Last year Worthington hired Patrick Devlin — the former buying director of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop brand — to take The Base and her personal brand to the next level.

Devlin attempted to quash suggestions the fake tan brand was being shut down when contacted by The Daily Telegraph or comment.

“Yes, we are working on a relaunch,” he said. “The site isn’t closed, it’s just down temporarily. We are working to have it back up and running ASAP.”

Industry insiders have noticed a distinct lack of promotion from Worthington about the brand in recent months.

The mother of two has so far made no mention of the brand’s website shut down, or confirmed whether she is winding up the tanning range she launched in 2014.

On June 27, The Bases’s Instagram site posted an alert which read “Last day: All products $20.” Some followers were confused by the post, asking when certain products would be back in stock.

“My focus has been to offer the modern woman the best line of products to achieve a healthy, safe glow; a look of vitality and wellbeing, one that enhances their inner beauty,” Worthington said at the time.

The model has also parted ways with her long-time manager Annie Kelly.

Kelly represents Australia’s top models including Bridget Malcolm, Jesinta Franklin and Shanina Shaik.

Little is known about the details surrounding the pair ending their working relationship. It is understood there is no bad blood between the Sydney-based talent manger and Worthington.

LARA WORTHINGTON BACK ON THE SOCIAL SCENE WITH HER A-LIST POSSE IN LOS ANGELES

It looks like things are finally clique-ing together for model Lara Worthington, who is now running an Aussie posse in America. But instead of a wild rat pack, they’re more like church mice.

Actor husband Sam Worthington is shooting Avatar 2 and, after lying relatively low following the birth of her children Rocket, 2 and Racer, 1, the “Where the bloody hell are you?” model is getting back on the scene.

While The Base founder is once again close to her former BFF Hermione Underwood, the rest of her group consists of hairdresser Travis Balcke, fellow model Bambi Northwood Blyth, make-up artist Victoria Baron, actors Tessa James and Phoebe Tonkin and stylist/designer Marina Afonina.

“Now her kids are over the age of one and Sam is busy with work, she is ... putting herself out there a bit more,” a friend said.

But champagne catch-ups have been replaced with coffee dates with fellow mum and actor Tessa James, who is now living in the US with her husband former NRL player Nate Myles.

And while she has attended A-list events with Northwood Blyth, the gal pals also caught up for a barefoot pottery class.
