Cricketing legend Shane Warne has unveiled a strange painting that cannot be unseen. In the new documentary, Shane Warne: Living The Dream, Australia’s former spin king presents the #warniemural – presumably commissioned by himself – which is mounted in the study of his Melbourne home.
The painting depicts a backyard barbecue scene, featuring Warnie smashing VBs alongside Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and more. A bare-breasted Angelina Jolie lounges in the foreground, while the captain of Australia’s Ashes-losing side, Michael Clarke, chats to Coldplay’s Chris Martin by the pool.
Shane Warne Describes His Painting
“[Here’s] Bruce Springsteen and myself just chilling in the corner – Springsteen has a cricket ball in his hand, so he is just sort of asking questions about cricket,” Warnie observes in the video, as part of the guided tour of his dream pool party.
We’re having trouble figuring out whether this is actually awesome or just really, really weird. Either way, Australians have been given a rare glimpse into the ultimate fantasies of one of our country’s biggest sporting identities, and the fact that it involves flipping sangas and knocking back a few cold ones with a bunch of famous people will be a surprise to no one.
