Edit autocorrect from wussy to aussy

Or, if you are promoting somewhat leftist content but wanna see those big bucks. I’m thinking of a specific aussy or kiwi who I’ve seen discussed a few times in print and videos. Black hair, long I think, facial hair. Allegations were made a few months ago that he’d perhaps done some things that he shouldn’t and that’s when he got talked about in places where I’d see them. Someone can probably put it together from this description.

Just spell it out. There’s too many to know which one.

Edit: I’ve done some searching but I get the feeling whoever it is, is not known outside NZ.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 8 months ago

I genuinely don't know the name. I don't follow this sort of shit. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Yeah but I'd believe if someone mixed him up.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

He's also not a leftist. People thought he was, but he's actually a populist who peddles in right-wing conspiracy theories.

Indeed. He’s a real arsehole.. I think he probably started off OK about a decade ago or more but descended into chucklefuckery once he could afford way more drugs in Hollywood.

Multiple inline replies to make sure multiple people see them in their inboxes (assuming all Lemmy instances work like mine).

It was Russel Brand. Hat tip to can@sh.itjust.works.

[-] Tristaniopsis@aussie.zone 2 points 8 months ago

But he’s not Aus / NZ…?!?

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 8 months ago

An English speaker with a non-North American accent. So I don't have the best memory or perception of accents. It was still close enough for someone to figure out who I meant.

[-] Tristaniopsis@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago

Wow. Dude you need to travel some.

[-] wieson@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I think some_guy is talking about Isaac Butterfield

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 8 months ago

It was Russel Brand. Hat tip to can@sh.itjust.works.

[-] Tristaniopsis@aussie.zone 1 points 8 months ago

Seems like he’s both long dead and not Australian or Kiwi.
