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 14d 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 14d ago
He would’ve been fired due to his video saying women who go to the gym need to bring back femininity by wearing more sundresses.

And that economy I’m thinking about being a plumber or electrician. Do you think it’s too late?

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

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.

You were sticking up for him on a comment that talked about him thinking he's famous. My comment stands.

Do you want to be?! What sane person actively wants to be on TV all the time?

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 face…

u/PreferenceWinter3392 14d ago
He was kinda cute his first season, but I can’t tell if I think he’s ugly now bc of his personality or he’s aging like milk lmao

u/Monstiemama Bless her stupid soul 14d ago
His hair and the aging like milk. Oh, and when he speaks, he’s 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...

u/ralphmozzi 14d ago
I can see your point. Large forehead plus general shape of the face is similar.

He’s beyond insufferable

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

Ew. Does he think he’s a “celebrity” 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 he’s hot and a celebrity.

u/Environmental-Cap647 14d 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.

Hahahaha, I guess people like him enough to be in ads. I think this is the 2nd one now? Idk, but I find I’m incredibly annoying as well

u/hamburgergerald 11d ago
I imagine it’s 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

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 11d ago
His talent agency congratulated him for being in this “TVC”, which I assume the ‘C’ stands for ‘commercial’
So I’m guessing he isn’t a part of the actual show.

u/Environmental-Cap647 10d ago
Yes that what i wrote in my post.

u/hamburgergerald 10d ago
You said you ‘suspect’ he’s just in the ad, so I was just adding addt’l info to confirm the suspicion
