All About Egg Boy, the Internet’s New Teen Hero

Teen eggs Australian senator over shooting comments

Australian Sen. Fraser Anning, who blamed the New Zealand terror attack on Muslim immigration, was egged on live TV by a 17-year-old “Egg Boy” during an event in Melbourne.

Wheatus of “Teenage Dirtbag” fame has labelled him a “Hero of The Earth.” He has been honored in a huge mural in his hometown. And over the past few days, outlets from the Washington Post to NPR to the New York Times have covered his actions.

Yes — we’re talking Egg Boy, the Australian teenager who went wildly viral after he smashed a raw egg into the back of right-wing politician’s balding head over the weekend.

Let’s just jump in.

Who actually is Egg Boy?

Egg Boy’s real name is Will Connolly, and he’s a 17-year-old boy from Hampton, Melbourne. He also, on March 16, was in possession of one egg.

Why are we talking about him?

On that Saturday, Connolly — and his single egg — stopped by the Conservative National Party meeting in Melbourne to see right-wing senator Fraser Anning, the politician who was heavily criticized for his appalling statement following the March 15 shooting at the Christchurch mosques in New Zealand that left 50 people dead and 50 injured. Shortly after news of the horrific attack first broke, Anning explicitly blamed Muslims for it, writing, “The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program which allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place.”

Many found Anning’s sentiments deplorable, given the statement’s blatant Islamophobia, and the fact that the shooter was in fact a proud white nationalist — Connolly included. So he partook in the direct action against the senator that he best saw fit: smashing a raw egg on the senator’s head as he spoke to reporters.

Per video footage of the incident, Anning immediately turned around and punched the teen in the face after the egg make contact with his head, and then hit Connolly once more before being separated from him. Immediately afterward, a group of unidentified white men — presumably Anning supporters — violently pinned the teen down.

But apparently, even as he was being held in an aggressive chokehold, Connolly reportedly managed to utter an unrivaled cops/pigs joke as police approached him: “Here comes the bacon for the egg.”
