We didn’t think we’d need news like this, with Rachael “Raygun” Gunn returning to Sydney’s inner west in super baggy trousers.
The 37-year-old was photographed doing what any self-respecting hipster would do on Thursday: drinking coffee at a local shop.
She was wearing a crisp white t-shirt, a slightly oversized jacket, and a pair of baggy jeans that could only be described as “balloon-like.”
It’s fair to say that break dancers probably need a lot of legroom so they can strut their stuff outside the Ashfield Aquatic Centre.
The Olympian has had a tough time since failing to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics and this week The break dancer who was voted the number one In the world.
It all started when she wore a tracksuit to the competition and competed on the field with great enthusiasm.
When Uncle Craig drank too much champagne and your aunt came home, she did the wedding dance, which is usually only performed on the wedding dance floor.
She used sprinklers, imitated a snake, and completely transformed into a kangaroo — because she was there to represent Australia.
Sadly, Regan’s performance did not end with her winning a place, a victory, or a gold medal, but it did make her an instant celebrity.
Some thought her performance was a classic; others thought she shouldn’t have been allowed to compete at all.
Soon, her performance sparked controversy.
Not only has the breakdancer become a hit in Australia, she’s also making a big splash in the American dance scene.
Singer Adele made fun of her and Jimmy Kimmel discussed her controversial performance on his US talk show.
Afterwards, Raygun kept a low profile, stayed off social media, and did what every Australian celebrity would do: waited it out and then moved on to the 10s. project.
She spoke to Waleed Ali and explained that she had anticipated some strong backlash.
“As soon as I qualified, I was like, ‘Oh my god, what have I done?’ Because I knew I was going to get beat, I knew people weren’t going to understand my style and what I was going to do,” she said.
She said it wasn’t all bad feedback and some pretty amazing people reached out to her.
“The good thing about this is that you get contacted by strangers you never thought would notice you,” she said.
Raygun then shared Virgin Atlantic co-founder Sir Richard Branson has offered him a helping hand.
She also said he asked her if she wanted to go on a boat trip with Boy George.
“It’s like someone like Sir Richard Branson calling you up and saying he loved your performance and thought it was ‘brave’, ‘fearless’ and ‘funny’,” she explains.
“He was so willing to do something with me, to have me go on a cruise with Boy George. I had no idea what life was,” she said.
What is life?
Well, it is indeed random.
A few days later, a photo of Regan and Boy George out for dinner went viral on Instagram.
She looked casual while he wore a small hat. The caption read “Break the Internet”.
Raygun did exactly that and now she is trying to pull off her oversized pants, which she may have done.
