Nice boy grown-up but still a ratbag at art Rebel without a cause? Streaker Wati Holmwood simply "wanted to spice things up." Wati Holmwood's State of Origin naked dash may have stopped a Queensland try, but it sparked a social media frenzy and left many wondering: why do streakers do it? At least eight Facebook pages have been dedicated to the serial streaker since his Wednesday night run, including one page with more than 18,000 followers who are encouraged to donate money to pay for his expected $5500 fine. Dozens of memes have been posted online. In one, Holmwood streaks across the finishing line of a 100-metre sprint in front of Usain Bolt. Why did the tubby 33-year-old from Tempe do it? "The game was a bit boring and I wanted to spice things up to be honest with you," Mr Holmwood told a New Zealand radio station. Robbie Farah wasn't performing so I said 'You know what? I'll go on the field and perform myself."' Reaction: Social media contributions about the Origin streaker. He also raised the prospect of more naked antics: at next year's football World Cup in Brazil. With an audience of more than 80,000 at ANZ Stadium, and millions watching on television, it was a "honeypot" opportunity for the streaker to gain national recognition, said David Smith, a psychology professor at RMIT. It's likely he wanted to be admired or to be a participant in the game. It's the idea of gaining attention and to be a part of something. It is not the first time Mr Holmwood has streaked - in 2011 he was charged with obscene exposure in public after streaking at a match between the Wests Tigers and New Zealand Warriors. He is now facing new charges and a life-time ban from all rugby league matches. For Mr Holmwood's family, the incident didn't come as a surprise. "As soon as I saw the bald head and dark-coloured skin, I knew that it was him," said Mr Holmwood's cousin Ebony-Rose Holmwood who was watching the game from her home in Kogarah. "He's actually a nice guy," said Ms Holmwood. He's mellow, the quiet one ... I think he did it purely just for a laugh and to get his five minutes of fame. Another of Mr Holmwood's cousins, Doreen Brennan, said: "He's a nice boy. He was a ratbag when he was younger but he's grown up now. For repeat streakers, it is unlikely to be a spontaneous act, Professor Smith said. He could have narcissistic characteristics and that's more likely if he's repeating it.
