We’re old.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Australian kickin\u2019 round in the 2000s knows, \u201cDon\u2019t Chop The Dinosaur, Daddy!\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s second only to the opening guitar riffs from Untouched.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The catchphrase was born from the 2005 Natural Confectionery Company which we\u2019ve popped down below but\u2026 let\u2019s be honest, you know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The star of the show, the saviour of gelatinous dinos everywhere was Joanna Hunt-Prokhovnik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her battle cry, \u201cDon\u2019t Chop The Dinosaur, Daddy!\u201d, is cemented into the psyche of Australians. Her shocked face a beacon of hope for quadrupedal sugar blobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyhoooo, those who\u2019ve done the quick math know 2005 was 16 years ago, so where is she now?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, a now 25-year-old Joanna is studying integral energetics, which is a form of stress-reduction therapy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Aruna Giri<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIntegral Energetics (IE) reduces stress, tension and pain by relaxing and balancing the nervous system. A balanced and integrated nervous system allows for easier breathing, a fluid flexible spine, increased vitality and wellness, inner harmony and calmness, and a deeper and more fully conscious connection to the self, others and life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So a bit diff from \u201cDon\u2019t Chop The Dinosaur, Daddy!\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"What<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What you might know is that Joanna also had a roaringly successful acting career. In fact, she was nominated for an AFI award for Best Young Actress after appearing in the 2005 Australian feature film Three Dollars.<\/em>She was also cast in the 2006 drama, Irresistible,<\/em> with folks like Susan Sarandon, Sam Neill and Emily Blunt. <\/p>\n\n\n
