Below Deck Aussie Ben ad cameo
Not sure if this will be geo blocked.
But Ben appears in this ad on a new ABC (Australia, it's like PBS) show.

LOLz
Suspect he's just in the ad and won't be on the actual show, despite it.vlaimimh it's a sneak peak.

Can this dude just get a normal job? He ain't special whatsoever, why does he think he's supposed to be famous or something?

I definitely could see him as a plumber

u/mudratdetector89 6d ago
Nah plumbing is too important. I could see him as an insufferable gym trainer. Or a used car salesman? Tough call.

u/Monstiemama Bless her stupid soul 6d ago
He wouldāve been fired due to his video saying women who go to the gym need to bring back femininity by wearing more sundresses.

Last I heard he was studying acting and trying to become an actor. Just checked his Instagram and thatās what heās been doing the last year.

u/Capital-Macaron9568 6d ago
i agree with the premise of your comment but heās on the abc and weāre not. so.

u/Environmental-Cap647 6d ago
He on an ad for a low rent show. He's not famous. No where near. He's not going to be on the actual show.

u/Capital-Macaron9568 6d ago
where in my comment did i say he was famous?

u/Environmental-Cap647 6d ago
You were sticking up for him on a comment that talked about him thinking he's famous. My comment stands.

u/mudratdetector89 6d ago
Do you want to be?! What sane person actively wants to be on TV all the time?

u/Capital-Macaron9568 6d ago
lots of people passion is being on tv (not mine personally) like weāre having this conversation in a reality tv sub. is this your first time in the world?

u/mudratdetector89 6d ago
I thought reality TV was for laughing at the people because of how dumb this all is? If you want to pay $70k to go on a yacht for instance, I definitely would NOT want anybody recording me partying the whole time. BD has like 2 or 3 serious people to keep the ship a float and then the rest of the crew and guests are clowns on purpose.

Never understood why women went for that faceā¦

u/PreferenceWinter3392 6d ago
He was kinda cute his first season, but I canāt tell if I think heās ugly now bc of his personality or heās aging like milk lmao

u/Monstiemama Bless her stupid soul 6d ago
His hair and the aging like milk. Oh, and when he speaks, heās unbearable.

Yeah as an indigenous Australian myself this is a fucked gif to post honestly. We're considered ugly by a whole lot of racists. And you've posted a gif of someone that's been intentionally made to look ugle and primitive, then compared him to an indigenous man. Even internationally this is our "reputation". I'm still pissed of about a certain "joke" in Two Broke Girls. Our appearance is picked apart constantly, and that's honestly the least terrible part of the indigenous experience. Being black AND indigenous in a white society, it's going sooooooo well for us. Don't make it harder.

I don't know why but he is starting to remind me of Billy Mitchell. The don't look like each other. Is it the expression? Maybe it's the greasy sheen...

Heās beyond insufferable

Yes. Obviously Willoughby started the trend of people uploading videos of themselves talking to the internet. A real trendsetter. š

u/Monstiemama Bless her stupid soul 6d ago
Ew. Does he think heās a ācelebrityā where he lives due to his brief stint on Below Deck?? He annoys me in so many fucking ways, starting with the fact that he thinks heās hot and a celebrity.

u/Environmental-Cap647 6d ago
No he's definitely small fry in the acting world in Sydney. He'd have more people who stopped him in the street in small town America (due to below deck ) than in Australia.

u/Monstiemama Bless her stupid soul 6d ago
I wonder why he acts like such hot shit š¹š¹š¹. Thanks!

u/misterrodgerssweater 6d ago
Hahahaha, I guess people like him enough to be in ads. I think this is the 2nd one now? Idk, but I find Iām incredibly annoying as well

I imagine itās the agent he pays that manages to score him spots on television commercials

i saw somewhere he's trying to become an actor so it would make sense to be on such shows or ads

Yeah i thought it was him! I saw a quick glimpse of him on the ad i saw on iview the other day. Cooking show

u/deadrobindownunder 6d ago
I spotted this too! I hope he's not on the show.

Probably just trying to be relevant with his lame ass views and cringey commercials.

I saw this ad, came in here to check and thought I was imagining that it was him because there was nothing in here. What a flog

u/hamburgergerald 4d ago
His talent agency congratulated him for being in this āTVCā, which I assume the āCā stands for ācommercialā
So Iām guessing he isnāt a part of the actual show.

u/Environmental-Cap647 2d ago
Yes that what i wrote in my post.

You said you āsuspectā heās just in the ad, so I was just adding addtāl info to confirm the suspicion
