Kyle Sandilands reveals he was with John Ibrahim when his brother Fadi was shot five times

Kyle Sandilands will appear in the second season of the Paramount+ series Last King of the Cross.

The radio star’s longtime friend John Ibrahim, 54, was by his side when the brother of Kings Cross identity Fadi was brutally shot dead in 2009.

Fadi, the second youngest of four Ibrahim brothers, was shot five times by an unknown assailant while sitting in a Lamborghini with his girlfriend Shayda Bastani, who was also shot in the thigh.

Last King of the Cross follows John’s rise to power in the Kings Cross nightclub scene during the ’90s and early ’00s, and season two will feature a scene depicting the gunfight.

Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail Australia, Kyle said that John, who is also the show’s executive producer, recently asked if he was happy to appear as a character.

‘I said, ‘I don’t give a shit, as long as it’s not a [portrayed as] a fat dwarf toad’. He said “Be nice…not George Costanza”. He said, “Bro, I’ll take care of you,” Kyle joked.

‘It reminded me that when his brother Fadi was shot five times in the Lambo, and the wife [Shayda] he hit him in the leg, I was with him when he got the call,” he added.

Kyle said that he would love to be played by Chris Hemsworth and that he plans to personally attend the casting.

Home And Away star Lincoln Younes played John in season one and will likely reprise the role in season two.

Fadi and his now wife Shayda were parked outside their home in Sydney’s Castle Cove on June 5, 2009 when they were attacked by a gunman during a nighttime ambush.

He was hit in the arm, chest and stomach, while Shayda was shot in the leg when the gun was fired through the car window.

Fadi, who was 35 at the time, was placed in an induced coma for three weeks before being woken up.

Both Fadi and Shayda survived the attack, although Fadi has dealt with ongoing health problems as a result of his injuries.
