Height, Weight & Measurements
Anthony Field's height is approximately 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm), and his weight is around 160 pounds (73 kg). Throughout his career, he has maintained a healthy lifestyle, which is key to his energetic performances. As of 2025, his body measurements are not widely publicized, but he is often seen in fitness and dance-centric activities.
Field attended Macquarie University to receive training in early childhood education, and founded the Wiggles with fellow students Murray Cook, Greg Page and former bandmate Jeff Fatt in 1991. He worked as a preschool teacher for two years before the success of the Wiggles led him to focus on children's music full-time.
The Wiggles became one of the most successful and active groups in Australia. Field, who wears a blue shirt while performing with the Wiggles, was responsible for the production aspects of their stage and television shows, albums, and DVDs.
His issues with chronic pain and depression, which almost forced him out of the group at the height of their success, are well-documented. After the departure of Cook, Fatt, and Page in 2012, he is the only remaining original Wiggle.

Despite his public persona, Anthony has kept much of his personal life private. He has previously been linked to women but currently is rumored to be in a relationship. While there is much speculation, there is no confirmed information about a boyfriend or girlfriend in 2025. He is known to cherish his family, being a father to his children, which he often highlights in interviews.
He is the youngest of seven children, and grew up in north western Sydney. He came from a long line of musicians, especially the women in his family. His great-great aunt was Queenie Paul, known for performing at the Tivoli Theatre in Sydney, and his grandmother Kathleen accompanied silent movies in the mining town of Cobar.
Field's mother, Marie, made sure that all of her seven children learned how to play at least one musical instrument. He attended the all-boys boarding school St Joseph's College, which his great-grandfather Paddy Condon, an Italian immigrant and master stonemason, helped build.

His involvement with The Wiggles has been particularly lucrative, leading to successful tours, merchandise sales, and television projects. His salary from performances and appearances significantly contributes to his wealth.
Career, Business and Investments
Anthony's career took off in the early 1990s with the formation of The Wiggles. The group has gone on to release numerous albums, DVDs, and international tours that have captivated audiences worldwide. Beyond The Wiggles, Anthony has been active in various television shows and music projects. He has ventured into business avenues that include children's entertainment products. His keen sense for engaging young audiences has allowed him to invest wisely in ventures that complement his career.
By the mid-1990s, despite the success of the Wiggles, Field reported being suicidal and "frequently gripped by anxiety, sadness, and negativity".
By mid-2004, shortly after his marriage and the birth of his first child, Field's serious medical issues, worsened by their heavy tour schedule, caused him to consider quitting or re-inventing the Wiggles, despite their great success in the U.K. and North America.
After meeting chiropractor James Stoxen in Chicago in 2004, Field improved his health to the point that he was able to continue. He began to hire teams of chiropractors for himself, his fellow bandmembers, and castmembers in every city they performed, which he credited with making it possible for them to fulfill their touring requirements.
In early 2013, Field became the only original member of the group to remain after Fatt, Cook, and Page retired. He remained in the group because he wanted to continue to educate children and as Wiggles manager Paul Field stated, "to placate American, British and Canadian business partners".

By his mid-twenties, he decided that he did not want to tour any longer, so he took two breaks. His first break was as an infantry soldier, rifleman, stretcher bearer, and ambulance driver in the 5th/7th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, Australia's regular army from 1982 to 1985.
He played the bagpipes in parades and on training missions, but ended his military service in July 1985 and suffered from a bad back as a result of his training. He also went backpacking in the U.K., listening to roots music, to children's music by artists like Raffi, and to recordings of children's books.
Education
Anthony Field attended St. Joseph's College, Hunters Hill, and later pursued a degree in Early Childhood Education from Macquarie University. His education has played a fundamental role in shaping his career in children's music, allowing him to connect profoundly with young audiences and understand their developmental needs.
He was inspired by his sister Colleen to study early childhood education, and became convinced that teaching preschool children "was my calling". He was also attracted to the profession's freedom, artistic nature, and lack of discipline, which was different from his experience in boarding school.
Field put off university when the Cockroaches became successful, but he was dissatisfied with touring and plagued by "perhaps irrational, but very real, feelings of inadequacy and depression".
