Remember Corey Worthington? Of course you do. The guy with bright yellow hair and even brighter yellow sunglasses that took all of Australian by storm in January 2008. He was 16 at the time, and gave one of the most ridiculous interviews of all time after he threw an out of control house party while his parents were away. I’d mostly forgotten about his existence, but I recently discovered Corey Worthington’s Instagram and I can’t say I’m ok.
Want more throwbacks? How about the GOAT Team chatting about the potential reunion of Brad and Jen?
First of all, remember what he looked like in 2008? Yes? Ok good, here’s what he looks like today.
He’s still clearly a massive fan of the glasses, and he seems to have about a million different pairs. Some things will never change, I guess. One thing I didn’t expect to learn was that he was on Australian Ninja Warrior. You know, the show where incredibly ripped people try and complete the sort of obstacle course that you would have designed when you were a sadistic 8 year old with no concept of physics? That one.
Maybe I’m late to the party (heh) on this, but I’m genuinely impressed. Not only does he give the course a crack, he also seems to do pretty well at it? Admittedly I have all the upper body strength of a piece of wet tissue paper, so it doesn’t take a lot to impress me, but look at him go!
There are a lot of tattoo posts as well. Some of them are his tattoos, but then there’s this gem.
So there you have it. I’ve spent far too much of my life on this deep dive, and regret absolutely nothing. An Australian icon who maintains his stance of not apologising for anything while also wearing sunglasses. This is the energy I’m hoping to channel all the way into 2020.
