Australian Squid Game: The Challenge player with ’80s moustache and shaggy surfer hair goes viral for outrageous retro look: ‘He’s the most stereotypical-looking Aussie!’
With 456 players, Squid Game: The Challenge features the largest cast in the history of reality television.
While hundreds of contestants failed to rack up any screen time before being eliminated, a handful of notable players managed to stand out.
However, Australian model Jordan Levoux was impossible to miss with his shaggy surfer haircut and ’80s moustache.
Viewers flocked to social media to point out the blonde player, with one posting: “They couldn’t have picked the most stereotypical looking Australian to cast.”
“I’m on episode 4 of the new Squid Game so don’t tell me if this changes, but how boring do you have to be as a person to have a very blonde mullet and mustache and not be a talking head for a second,” wrote another.

In an interview with Fifi, Fev and Nick this week, Jordan admitted that he was cast in Squid Game: The Challenge after seeing the casting announcement at his modeling agency.
‘It was only through a few agencies where you can get acting and modeling work that it just landed on my desk and I just saw the big cash prize of [$4.65million] and said, “I could use that!” So I just filed for it,” he explained.
Squid Game: The Challenge may be based on fiction, but this show is all reality as competitors compete for a cash prize of $4.56 million.

At first glance the show seems identical, with eerily similar games, rooms and a lot of contestants, who mend and break relationships to come out on top.
Fans of Squid Game can expect a whole host of games they recognize from the original, including the infamous Red Light, Green Light, Sugar Honeycombs and Hopscotch, along with brand new games.
Squid Game: The Challenge is currently airing worldwide on Netflix.
