The Perth-born beauty traded Australia for Los Angeles, before eventually finding herself in Paris.

'The first thing I did when I moved to LA was to decorate my apartment in a French style, and then I ended up going to Paris,' she told The Sydney Morning Herald in March last year.

'Now, I find myself in Paris, completely immersed, absolutely loving it but it's not home. I am not able to work here so I've got mixed feelings about it.

'I would like to bring Hollywood to Paris, if I could do that, that would be ideal.'

In an interview with Vogue Australia in April 2018, Melissa revealed she moved to Sydney on her own when she was just 16 to pursue an acting career.

'I left Perth to go to Sydney to be a teen actress and it was really hard. I used to lock myself in the closet and call my mum and cry,' she confessed.
