Early life

McMahon was born in Sydney, the son of Sir William McMahon, a well-known Australian politician, and Lady McMahon (née Sonia Hopkins), a heiress, socialite, and fashion icon. His father served as a member of the Australian House of Representatives and a high-ranking minister in the 24-year Liberal government for many years before Julian's birth; he became Australia's 20th Prime Minister in March 1971, when Julian was two years old. During his Prime Ministership, his mother left her three children in the custody of a nanny to be with her husband in Canberra. Melinda, his older sister, and Deborah, his younger sister. He is of Irish descent through his father.

In a piece published in the Herald Sun in 2018, McMahon addressed his childhood; "My Dad..." was born in 1908. It's a different time than when he was raising me. He must have suffered through a strange misinterpretation of how you were raised in 1908 versus 1972; it would have been so confusing. In addition, how you be a husband in that period of time would have been different."

McMahon was educated at Sydney Grammar School, a private, boys-only school that his father attended. As an infant, he aspired to be an army cadet and played rugby. McMahon briefly studied law at the University of Sydney and economics at the University of Wollongong. McMahon found no passion in his studies and began a modelling career. He rose to fame in several fashion capitals, including Milan, London, New York City, Rome, and Paris.

McMahon was living in Europe when his father died and returned to Australia for the funeral. He shot some Levi's commercials at home, which eventually helped him to land a role on the iconic Australian soap opera Home & Away.

Personal life

McMahon jokingly declared in a Jimmy Kimmel interview that his mother [was] "a very scary lady" because she would visit him on the set of his films and then assess his performance after he finished a scene.

Danni Minogue was married by McMahon in 1994 after meeting on the set of Home & Away in 1991. He appeared in her music video clip for the single "This Is It," a song that sums up the couple's marriage and hopes for the future. The newlyweds' marriage was thrown apart due to McMahon's career in Los Angeles and Minogue, England. Minogue and McMahon's mother, Lady Sonia McMahon, were divorced after 18 months, despite Minogue's comment that her unhappy friendship with McMahon's mother, Lady Sonia McMahon, being a problem from the start.

McMahon married Baywatch actress Brooke Burns in 1999 and had a daughter before divorcing in 2001. McMahon married Kelly Paniagua for the third time in 2014.

McMahon has lived in the United States since the 1990s, but his spirit remains Australian; "I feel like I'm Australian on the inside and American on the outside, or something." I would never want to leave it behind either. I adore Australians and Australianisms, and I love being Australian. I love where I grew up and how I grew up, and I'd not change it for the world."
