Remember him? Wog Boy actor, 61, hasn’t aged a day since starring in the iconic comedy film 25 years ago as he’s spotted on a night out

Nick Giannopoulos has proven that he has barely aged a day since The Wog Boy was released 25 years ago.   

The Australian actor, 61, stepped out for a night out with wrestler Harrison Quintero and was instantly recognisable. 

Beaming for the camera in the image, posted to Instagram this week, the comedian flashed his youthful visage and cheeky smile. 

The original Wog Boy was released in 2000 and went on to become the 20th highest grossing Australian film of all time.

Wog Boy 2: Kings of Mykonos was released in 2010 and was followed by Wog Boys Forever in 2022.

Nick made headlines when he was slammed for telling ‘recycled’ jokes at the Sydney premiere of Wog Boys Forever at the time.

The comedian entertained the crowd for half an hour with some crude jokes prior to the movie screening.

In footage uploaded to TikTok, the actor is seen laughing with the crowd during his stand-up comedy act.

‘We got any Maltese here? Stand up… Oh, you’re already standing,’ he quipped.

The Greek-Australian actor then joked Italians are too cheap to pay for parking.

‘Italians’ a**holes are so tight they can’t fart, they burp,’ he joked.

His performance at Enmore Theatre was labelled as ‘stale’ by some TikTok users.

One user bluntly said Giannopoulos was ‘recycling 30 year old jokes’ while another called the gags ‘boring and childish’. 

Although his stand-up set was not widely praised the same can’t be said about his latest movie.

Former Home and Away star Sam Frost, who attended the Melbourne premiere, wrote on Instagram it was ‘such a fun and hilarious film’.

Meanwhile, Nick’s Instagram page was flooded with supportive comments following the film’s premiere.

One fan wrote they ‘f**king loved it’ while another added it was a ‘claaaasic’.

Wog Boys Forever is the third instalment of the bawdy Australian comedy series which began in 2000.

It co-stars Vince Colosimo, Sarah Roberts and Havana Brown.

Nick claimed in 2019 that he trademarked the word ‘wog’ and ‘wogboy’ in order to prevent other comedians appropriating it.

‘My trademarks are wogs or wogboys… My lawyers have been hired by me to protect my trademark,’ he told the Herald Sun at the time. 

Nick explained that his lawyers have contacted other comedians in Melbourne using the word ‘wog’ to promote their shows.

He added: ‘The government ruled in my favour in the mid-90s saying the word “wogs” is associated with my previous shows.’ 

‘They granted me that trademark so that I could protect my business interests.’ Nick continued.

The Wog Boy star revealed why he trademarked the phrase in an interview with Kyle and Jackie O in 2017.

‘I wanted to take that word, that word that had been used against me my whole childhood, and claim ownership of it,’ he said.

‘The word I hated the most in the world, I now own’.
