Jonathon ‘J.Mo’ Moran is an Australian mental health advocate, acclaimed journalist and the country’s authority on all things entertainment. From film and TV to music and every celebrity headline in between.
As Chief Entertainment Writer and Editor at The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph, and co-host of the top-rating national Confidential on Nova radio show with Tanya Hennessy, J.Mo has spent more than 20 years uncovering what really lies behind the public personas of the world’s biggest stars.
Beyond the red carpet, Jonathon is one of Australia’s most fearless voices on mental health and radical honesty. His debut book, Mental As Anyone: A Toolkit for Surviving and Thriving on the Chaotic Rollercoaster of Life, and his Mental As Anyone podcast shine a raw, hopeful light on sexuality, addiction, trauma and resilience, showing that no one, famous or not, is immune from life’s messiness.
Jonathon’s work inspires organisations to look beyond the facade, normalise real conversations and lead with genuine vulnerability. He shows leaders how to role model openness, build psychological safety and create cultures where trust and belonging flourish, because the best teams don’t pretend to be perfect, they commit to being real.
A trusted master of ceremonies, host and keynote speaker, Jonathon has worked with organisations including the Invictus Games, Medibank, Gotcha4Life Foundation, the Australian Hair and Fashion Awards, Virgin Australia, Ovolo and Lululemon.
A proud WIRES wildlife carer, Jonathon lives in Sydney with four dogs, four snakes and a turtle, a reminder that sometimes the best families are the ones you rescue.
