Home and Away fans were recently introduced to Kahu, the cousin of Tane Parata, but actor Jordi Webber revealed he already had a real-life connection to his on-screen family member
Before joining the series, Home and Away’s Jordi Webber was already acquainted with Tane Parata actor Ethan Browne.
The 29-year-old actor debuted as Tane’s cousin Kahu on Monday (June 5) and has since started attracting attention.
A pin was placed in Tane’s home bliss with his new wife Felicity (Jacqui Purvis) when the laid-back surfer showed up in Summer Bay and immediately caused chaos between the two.
Tane was overjoyed to meet Kahu, and their strong relationship was perhaps made simpler by the fact that they were already acquainted.

Jordi, who first found fame in 2012 as a member of pop boy band Titanium, admitted he felt the role of Kahu was perfect for him.
“(The producers) wanted Kahu to be super free, super surfy and Māori and, at the time, I was travelling the east coast of Australia, living in a van,” the singer explained.
He added: “I fit the bill perfectly in terms of the energy and the person they wanted. That’s how I ended up there.”
In upcoming scenes, Kahu shows he is all about fun and no responsibilities, which makes his TAFE studies a problem.
Kahu agrees to take the course that will allow him to get certified as a fitness instructor at the gym because he wants to satisfy his cousin.
Kahu wants Tane to advance him $1500 in TAFE course fees after lying to his mother about where he is employed, but Tane is unsure of his cousin’s reliability.
