Raygun could be set to perform again with a MAJOR celebrity by her side as new image is revealed – and she is loving her 15 minutes of fame
- Raygun Could Perform With Music Icon Boy George
- Australian breakdancer had dinner with him in Amsterdam
- Became a worldwide sensation after routine at the Olympic Games in Paris
Raygun’s time in the spotlight after the Paris Olympics doesn’t seem to be over any time soon, if one of her recent celebrity dinner guests is to be believed.
The infamous Australian breakdancer – whose real name is Rachael Gunn – dined with music icon Boy George at a restaurant in Amsterdam while on holiday.
A photo of Gunn in a new look, alongside her husband George and a male companion, was captioned “break the internet,” a clear indication that she is enjoying her 15 minutes of fame.
This comes after Raygun confirmed she had been given the chance to perform alongside Boy George after convincing British billionaire Sir Richard Branson with her performance at the Olympics.
The Sydney university professor made the shocking revelation during her first TV interview this week, following her disastrous appearance in Paris on Channel Ten’s The Project.
“The benefit is that random people reach out to you that you never thought would notice you,” Gunn said.
“You know, it’s not just the breakers that you’ve had respect for for ten years.
“It’s someone like Sir Richard Branson calling you and saying he liked your performance and he thought it was ‘brave’, ‘courageous’ and ‘fun’.
Raygun’s time in the spotlight following the Paris Olympics shows no signs of ending, if one of her recent high-profile dinner guests is any indication (pictured, enjoying a meal with music icon Boy George, who is second from left).

The Sydney University professor went viral after her dance routine in Paris scored zero points from the judges
“And he’d like to do something with me and have me on cruises with Boy George. What’s life? I don’t know.”
Gunn’s performance at the Paris Games led to her being ridiculed worldwide.
While Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and fellow Olympian Ariarne Titmus, among others, supported her, she was openly mocked by the likes of singer Adele and American TV star Jimmy Fallon.
In unforgettable scenes in Paris, the 37-year-old shows off some classic moves, such as using the sprinkler, before imitating a snake and a kangaroo.
Unsurprisingly, Gunn received zero points from the judges and soon became the target of ridicule worldwide.
During a revealing interview with Waleed Aly on The Project this week, Raygun said she knew she was in for a turbulent time after receiving a disturbing message from an Australian Olympic Committee official following her routine.
“As soon as I finished, you know, my rounds, my media liaison from the AOC said, ‘Oh, there’s a storm coming on social media. Maybe you should step away from social for a while,'” she said.
“I was like, ‘Okay.’ I didn’t understand the magnitude of it. I looked at some of the comments beforehand and I was like, ‘Oh no.’
An Olympic breakdance judge confirmed that Raygun performed well below the level of her opponents in Paris
“I thought, ‘Oh my gosh! What happened?'”
Raygun admitted she didn’t watch her performance back before addressing the “harsh” reactions.
“I haven’t watched it back, no. That’s not unusual for me, you know. I’m not very good at watching my fights back,” she said.
“It’s going to take a while. I think I’ve seen some bits and pieces, but yeah, I’ll watch it eventually.”
