British musician Yungblud turned heads in Sydney after stripping completely naked on a yacht, then revealed his mother phoned to say his anatomy had landed on TMZ.
The 28-year-old, born Dominic Harrison, posted a TikTok video on Saturday, January 10, lounging shirtless in bed and recounting the awkward conversation.
“Alright Sydney, f— hell. What a morning I have had. I’ve had my mom on the phone [saying], ‘Your penis is in TMZ!'” he laughed, winking at the camera. “My argument is that it’s just good f—ing, clean fun, innit?”
The Yacht Photos That Started It All
Photographs obtained by News Of Losangeles on Friday, January 9, show Yungblud enjoying downtime on a luxury yacht with friends in Sydney Harbour. The images capture the rocker stepping out of a white T-shirt and shorts, eventually baring all while holding a drink and smiling.
In several shots he covers his crotch with one hand, turns to reveal his backside, and later wraps a patterned towel around his waist while chatting with friends.
Yungblud echoed the cheeky mood on Instagram, posting additional nude snaps captioned: “Australia I’m back. Sydney I’ll see you tonight. I want you LOUD.”
Onstage Energy Undiminished
Despite the jet-lag and headlines, the star insisted his voice was ready for the January 10 IDOLS World Tour stop at Qudos Bank Arena.
“I’m buzzing for the show tonight. It’s gonna be f—ing nuts,” he said in the TikTok clip, sipping coconut water. “My voice is a bit croaky. I’ve got the jet-lag vibes. You’re gonna have to sing f—ing loud. Do not let me down.”
He ended the video with his trademark bravado: “C— out or c— off.”
Fan Encounter Adds to the Mayhem
After landing in Australia, Yungblud was greeted by an enthusiastic fan who admitted her Christmas wish list had been bold. In a Facebook video shared by onlookers, the woman approached him saying, “I asked Santa Claus for a threesome with you and Harry Styles,” before requesting a photo.
The rocker laughed and posed with her, taking the moment in stride.
Tour Continues Down Under
Yungblud’s Australian leg runs through January 18, with shows in Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth following the Sydney launch. The IDOLS World Tour has already swept through Europe and North America, and the singer has promised high-octane performances and unfiltered crowd interaction at every stop.
