The Wiggles’ John Pearce reveals the most difficult part of being in the famous kid’s group

The Wiggles’ John Pearce has opened up about the hardest part of being the band.

The 33-year-old, who has been dubbed the ‘Hot Purple Wiggle’ by thirsty mothers on social media, said Yahoo Lifestyle Wednesday that separating his work persona from his real self was a challenge.

You’re a Wiggle, whether you have underwear on or not. It’s always remembering that people know you as a person,’ he said.

The former member of the dance group Justice Crew also reflected that balancing the personal and professional on social media was complicated.

“On social media you have to walk that fine line between personal and being a Wiggle, but personally I think I’m a Wiggle through and through now,” he said.

It comes as John recently opened up about what he really thinks about adult fans calling him the ‘sexy wiggle’.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail at the premiere of Hot Potato: The Story of the Wiggles late last year, Purple Wiggle said: “It’s all good, positive things and I think, you know, you have to make the best of it.”

“Sexy and Wiggle in the same sentence don’t make much sense, but it’s 2023 and anything is possible,” he said at the time.

But his thirsty adult fans haven’t threatened his marriage, as he claims his wife is very secure in their relationship: “She loves it, yeah.” She is a great support. She is my best friend. She’s my soulmate.’

The Daily Mail also spoke to band member Tsehay Hawkins, who believes Hot Purple Wiggle’s nickname is ‘the funniest thing ever.’

“It’s cool to see the moms let loose… It’s a big joke in the group,” she said.

“John is such a humble and funny guy, so it’s really fun to see them, you know, idolize him and he’s so easygoing.”

In an interview with stellar magazineThe former singer spoke about his online personality versus his image as a children’s entertainer.

‘Taking off your shirt and being a children’s entertainer are not in the same room. I’m totally aware of all that,’ she told the publication.

‘You know, we have to be very careful. People have the right to give their opinion and say what they want.’

He continued, “I try not to let any of the comments, positive or negative, affect the purpose I’m here for: making music for children.”
