Reacting to news that the public broadcaster has poached the rights to air the LGBTI celebration in 2022, O’Brien tweeted a surprising bit of trivia from his own past: He performed as a back-up dancer with Mardi Gras headliner Dannii Minogue way back in 1999. The accompanying photo shows a younger O’Brien, six-pack on show, wearing nothing but a tiny pair of gold shorts as he stands among the throng of dancers on-stage with Dannii:O’Brien’s Twitter followers were very happily surprised by the reveal of his dancing past, one quipping he was a “man of very many talents.”“Just when we thought we couldn’t admire you more Joe!” wrote another.“Full of surprises Joe. 20 years on and you’re still going strong,” said another. “One word: Goals,” declared one follower.It’s not the first time O’Brien’s social media posts have caused a stir in recent months. Back in July, like so many Aussies, he posted a selfie to social media as he received his second dose of the Covid vaccine.But fans were distracted by one thing – just how buff O’Brien was under the suits he usually wears to read the news on the ABC:“Joe, if a common AZ side effect is getting biceps like those you might be able to reverse vaccine hesitancy single-handedly,” wrote one Twitter user.“How were you allowed into a hospital with those weapons?” said another.Another added: “BREAKINGNEWS: it can be confirmed that @JoeABCNews does indeed lift!”O’Brien obviously didn’t mind the thirsty comments: He later made the pic his Twitter profile photo.
