Since the revamped Big Brother series premiered, we’ve gotten to know our new housemates very well, with the exception of one man – Xavier Molyneux.
The 23-year-old paramedic has had a notable lack of airtime since the show began, and now a very plausible theory has emerged to explain why.
WATCH: Big Brother’s Xavier is almost unrecognisable post-show.
It didn’t long after the show began for someone to start digging into the housemates’ backgrounds and it was quickly discovered the Sydney surfer is also an actor.
Despite listing his profession as a paramedic before joining the show, it’s come to light that Xavier has starred in an independent film, Aussie Of The Year.
According to film site IMDB, the film, in which he played lead character Jack Barnes, is Xavier’s only credited acting gig thus far.
Now one Twitter user claiming to have a link to the company responsible for producing Big Brother, Endemol Shine, has revealed why Xavier is rarely seen on screen.
“It all makes sense now, just talked to a pal from @EndemolShineAU. Turns out Xavier is actually an actor, and editing is showing as little as possible of him because he lied to casting and they didn’t want to do a basic background check.”
The statement is yet to be substantiated or acknowledged by Endemol Shine, but it does make sense.
Xavier has been taking to social media in recent episodes to hilariously troll the show over his lack of airtime.
“Big Brother what do I have to do around here to get some air time?” he wrote in one post.
Even his fellow housemates find the lack of airtime amusing, with Daniel Gorringe commenting on one of Xavier’s post by saying: “I’m a big fan of yours and I’m enjoying seeing you in the background.”
Meanwhile, fans are suggesting Xavier isn’t even a real housemate, instead that he’s some kind of holograph.
“Xavier not shown again. His holographic matrix must have malfunctioned during the task,” one Twitter user wrote.
“Imagine if Xavier wins the challenge. Then we can finally hear him speak more than 2 words,” another added.
