Beau Ryan talks about his surprising career before NRL

He’s the former NRL star known for his outrageous antics on The Footy Show.

And on Tuesday, Beau Ryan made a rather surprising confession about his pre-football career as a courier.

During a segment on The Kyle and Jackie O Show about ‘hot’ people in everyday jobs, he confessed he would wear ‘short shorts’ to impress housewives on his delivery rounds. 

‘It’s someone’s fantasy!’ On Tuesday, Beau Ryan reflected on his pre-NRL career as a courier and how he would wear ‘short shorts’ to impress housewives when he was 18

‘I’d have the short shorts and the socks pulled up and I was like, 18 or 19,’ he explained.

But it seemed that Beau’s rolled-up socks did not impress Kara Orrell, his then-girlfriend and now wife.

‘When I first started seeing Kara and I’d deliver stuff, she would be like, “Why do you pull your socks up like that?” he , laughing.

‘And I’m like, “Because its someone’s fantasy out there that this is actually happening”. She was like, “You are an idiot”.’

Jackie O then questioned whether wearing his socks rolled up was actually considered a ‘sexy thing’ for women.

Beau agreed it probably wasn’t, adding that his customers would more likely look at something that ‘rhymes with socks’.

Say what? Stunned Jackie O asked Beau whether wearing socks up was a considered to be a 'sexy thing'. Beau agreed, but the two admitted that a more popular region to look at actually 'rhymes with socks'

Meanwhile, it’s not the first time Beau has experimented in the wardrobe department.

Earlier this year, he admitted to wearing women’s clothing in the past and would try on his wife’s shoes ‘every now and then’.
