This is priceless...and disturbing
Wally playing a self-important, fussy rock star character in an apparent indy film with some mates a while back-based on my Wally-wisdom, probably around the Boardface period (2003-ish.) Very funny, awful outfit. From the film's website:
"Was Gotye really in the original film?
Yes, although back then we called him Wally.When we started writing the screenplay, Wally had released his first album under the name Gotye. In the script, he was written as an obscure, avant-garde artist.
As we made the film, actual Wally couldn't help but outdo his fictitious self - releasing a second album, a third album, embarking on a national and international tour, and winning the ARIA for Best Male Artist in 2007. It was great for actual Wally, but really annoying for us, because we had to keep rewriting fictitious Wally to keep up with reality"
Hopefully the real Gotye won't become a mess like his character in the face of actual fame...perhaps we've been warned??!!
Alert: language is a bit rude, ridiculous and poorly-acted humor abounds...and yes, it is actually Wally. Scan to about 10:00 for his scene.
