Several Australian television personalities found themselves at the center of a viral social media prank during the Logie Awards red carpet. A video, posted by "The Mitch Churi Chat Show," deceptively edited responses from celebrities to appear as if they were answering a provocative question about interacting with a nude Robert Irwin.
The video presented a fabricated scenario where stars purportedly responded to the query: "What would you do if a nude Robert Irwin made a move on you?" However, the individuals were actually asked different questions, and their answers were spliced together to create the misleading impression. This editing technique made their responses seem unhinged and out of context.
Notable participants in the clip included "Heartbreak High" actor James Majoos, who was shown saying, "You gotta, like, st yourself. Like, you gotta just st yourself, vomit yourself." Julia Morris, co-host of "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!," appeared to state, "I've gotta tell you, I think about it a lot." Former "Bachelor" star Matty 'J' Johnson's edited response was, "Quick look, set the scene, go for the jugular, by the neck, both hands, to the floor." "MasterChef" favorite Poh Ling Yeow and Samantha Armytage also offered seemingly brutal answers, with Yeow stating, "I would go straight for the eyeballs. I think it's a matter of time," and Armytage replying, "Eyes and then - eyes."
The clip quickly became a topic of discussion online, with reactions split between amusement and criticism. Some viewers condemned the video for its sexually charged nature, with one commenter calling it "inappropriate" and "not cool." Others expressed confusion, noting, "Unsure what we have just watched." A clearer explanation emerged from another viewer who pointed out, "It's a trend where the interviewer actually asks them different questions and then edits their answers to a different question... REPEAT! THEY ARE NOT HARASSING ROBERT IRWIN!"
Conversely, many found humor in the misleading edit. Comments included "Finally good red carpet interviews" and "Imma need to know the real question." Some reactions, like "Lol attack me I just got a wax, dead," highlighted the perceived absurdity of the fabricated scenario. However, not all viewers were amused, with one critic dismissing it as "the lowest IQ humour."
There is no indication that any of the celebrities were actually asked the suggestive question featured in the edited video. The prank references a 2025 instance where Robert Irwin posed in his underwear for a campaign, which generated significant online attention.
