Chris Lilley hits a Sydney beach in tiny Speedos

Chris Lilley enjoyed a relaxing day at a Sydney beach on Tuesday.

The 48-year-old comedian wore tiny black Speedos as he went for a swim at Seven Shillings Beach.

Chris, who is behind hit shows Summer Heights High and We Can Be Heroes, cooled off as he jumped into the water.

After enjoying a dip in the ocean, the comedian was seen relaxing on the sand.

He stretched out his body on a beach towel as he soaked up the summer sun along the shore.

The Logie winner recently launched his comeback project Ja’miezing, a podcast based on his iconic schoolgirl character Ja’mie King, after four of his TV shows were axed from Netflix over ‘blackface’ portrayals.

In July 2021, it was announced Jonah from Tonga, Angry Boys, Summer Heights High and We Can Be Heroes would be removed from Netflix in Australia and New Zealand.

The programs raised questions about racial discrimination as several of the characters were portrayed with Lilley in blackface and brownface.

On Angry Boys, he portrayed African-American rapper S.mouse and performed a song called Squashed N****.

In Jonah from Tonga, he painted his face brown and wore a curly wig to portray troubled teen Jonah Takalua.

In We Can Be Heroes, Lilley played Chinese physics student Ricky Wong.

Chris has defended his style of comedy, telling The Weekend Australian in 2019: ‘I’m not trying to do the thing that is trendy at the moment.’

The award-winning comedian went on to say he would continue making ‘clever, layered’ characters.

Defending his controversial portrayals, he added: ‘When you meet them, you think “I know that type of person”, but then there is a twist, something crazy.

‘[In] the end you think, “Actually, I kind of relate to this, she just did that thing that I do every day.”‘
