Samuel Johnson says he will consider playing Molly Meldrum again if a whopping donation to his charity is put on the table.
The gold Logie winner has vowed to put his acting career on hold until his Love Your Sister charity reaches its goal of raising $10 million for cancer.
But for the right price he could be coaxed out of his hiatus.
That's provided the proceeds would help his fight against the disease which began when his sister Connie, who died last year, was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer.
"If a network came to me and said, 'Do you want to reprise your role as Molly?' I'd say no," Johnson said.
"But if they said, 'We want you to reprise your role as Molly and we've got half a million in the kitty for the charity', I might go back on my word then."
Johnson is a finalist to be announced as Australian of the Year on Thursday in Canberra for his work, which through the charity has raised more than $7 million.
After Connie's terminal diagnosis, in 2013 and 2014 he broke the world record for the longest distance on a unicycle - 15,465 kilometres - and raised $1.4 million for the Garvan Research Foundation.
"Our goal is to reach $10 million but we have an ultimate goal of vanquishing cancer and kicking it in the bloody face-hole like it deserves," Johnson said.
"Once I reach the $10 million, I'm not going to stop kicking it in the face-hole am I?"
While his work has been well documented, Johnson is adamant there's more to be done for breast cancer awareness.
"My sister set me a very clear task and that was to remind every single young mum in the land to be breast-aware," he said.
"There's new mums popping up every day. My work will never finish."
