Chris Lilley looks refreshed as he hits a Sydney beach in tiny Speedos

Chris Lilley enjoyed a relaxing swim at Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Thursday morning.

The 48-year-old comedian wore black Speedos as he jumped into the water for a dip.

Chris, who is behind hit shows Summer Heights High and We Can Be Heroes, looked refreshed as he splashed around in the water.

After enjoying a frolic in the ocean, the funnyman was seen relaxing on the shore. 

His hair was still soaked as he stood in the winter sun following his swim.

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.”‘
