- The Australian breaking sensation went viral at the Olympic Games
- Now his name is in the spotlight once again.
Australian breakdancing star Raygun is enjoying another surge in popularity after becoming one of the biggest stories at the Paris Olympics, as his outfit becomes one of the most sought-after Halloween costumes on the planet.
While her unique dances and walks around La Place de la Concorde may have divided opinion among many, the Australian superstar appears to have been touched by some of the love she’s receiving online.
While she failed to score a single point in her three games at the Games and missed out on an Olympic medal, she earned another honor in her own right: being the second most popular Halloween costume this year.
The Australian cult hero, who wore a green tracksuit and a cap with yellow trim, has been the second most worn costume for the annual horror festival, according to Google. scary.
In fact, some big names from around the world have dressed up as the Australian superstar, and this year British comedian Jack Whitehall dressed as a breakdancer.
Others, meanwhile, dressed their dogs as Raygun when they went trick-or-treating, while some even placed fake skeletons in their gardens wearing the Australian breakdancer’s green and gold uniform.
Despite rising to second place on the charts, beating costumes such as Sabrina Carpenter, Dr Doom, Lady Deadpool and Chipotle Burrito, Raygun lost the top spot to Shrunken Head Bob from Tim Burton’s film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
Despite failing to take first place, Raygun appeared to be flattered by the number of people dressed like her, while speaking on the Fitzy & Wippa podcast with Nova 96.9’s Kate Ritchie.
Raygun has risen to second place on the charts as the second most worn Halloween costume this year.
Jack Whitehall and Roxy Horner channeled their Halloween spirit by transforming into the Joker and the Australian Olympic breakdancer.
Some have even dressed skeletons in their back gardens as Australia’s iconic breakdancer.
‘Can we play on Halloween?’ Wippa asked during the podcast. ‘Because yes, we have the suits on.
‘But hey, have you been moved by Australia’s commitment to celebrating you on Halloween too? Because there are quite a few tracksuit-clad skeletons doing the iconic kangaroo move!’
Raygun replied: ‘I love it,
‘It’s absolutely amazing! The skeletons, the other types of statues that I have seen around, but also the costumes. I can’t believe the attention to detail on some of these, it’s impressive.’
It seems many people have been planning to tip their hats to the iconic Australian star, and a retailer in Australia is now selling a costume called ‘Break Dance Girl’, which comes with a green and gold tracksuit and a baseball cap.
Tim Tam commented on the clip saying, “Catch me with this on Halloween.” While Spotlight added: ‘Costume of the year!’
“Looks like Raygun is one of America’s Halloween favorites,” one fan wrote to X in response to Raygun’s popularity during the holiday.
“If you’re dressing up for Halloween, dress like RAYGUN,” wrote another.
