Why does Chopper Read have celebrity status in Australia?

[DavidBrent]

Is it because of his charismatic personality or his "good looks"?


By the way, Eric Bana has agreed to play him again in the follow-up to "Chopper"

Most of us don't Just the news and sh*it.

My dad swears he saw him in Echuca once. Could hardly step up onto the footpath from the road.

I don't know. Australians have a habit of making celebs out of criminals.
