He’s The Man… He’s an enigma… He’s bloody Anthony Mundine.
The pro-boxer is a walking contradiction. And we’re completely hooked!
Last night on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, the 42-year-old made us want to punch him and then embrace him.
Danny Green’s nemesis decided to sit down with Jackie Gillies to share his view on women and their clothing choices.
Jackie was astounded by Anthony’s controversial views.
“You want to protect your women,” he began.
“You don’t want other men having prerogative thoughts about your girl or your daughter.”
“She can wear a dress [but] not a short skirt, not above the knees. That is just the way I am, it is the way I feel, the way I think.”
Jackie queried whether it was right to tell “somebody what to do.”
“For their own good,” he remarked.
Deciding he needed to explain his though process, the boxer said, “Everything in society that the creator has made unlawful, the west are making it lawful. It doesn’t matter if we were born naked. There’s garments. That was back in that time.”
Before adding, “You don’t understand because you are not built like me, you wouldn’t understand a man’s point of view. You can’t understand.”
Jackie admitted she didn’t understand the boxer’s point of view.
Confiding in the Tok Toki, Anthony admitted, “I’m not sure if I got through to her [Jackie Gillies]. I just had to let her know where I was coming from.”
And it would appear he “didn’t get through” to a lot of people.
Twitter was a-fire, with many labeling him a “sexist a–hole”.
Things quickly took a turn when Anthony spoke about saving one man’s life.
But then in the spirit of rap goddess Missy Elliot, Anthony Mundine flipped and reversed and completely boogled our perception of him after recounting a tale of saving a man’s life.
Once again, reality star Jackie Gillies helped show off Anthony’s “shine, shine, shine”.
“I saved this dude’s life,” he started weeping as they washed dishes together.
“He was in a very bad, depressed state,” he mused.
“He was just about to hang himself and his daughter walks in. She was hysterical and said, ‘Dad, what are you doing? What are you doing?'”
“He said, ‘I need to do this’ and she said, ‘What about Anthony Mundine?'”
Sitting in the Tok Toki, the former NRL great explained in further detail, “He wanted to meet me before he died. That moment he come and met me, he said, ‘your courage, your strength, helped me out of this dark place’ and that touched me man. I know I am doing something right.”
Breaking down into sobs, he said, “That’s why it gets me emotional.”
Speaking to Jackie, he confessed, “That touched me man. I know I’m doing something right.”
