Full-time impersonator Lawrence Mooney is best known for his impression of the now ex-Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. The news that his meal ticket is no longer the PM has struck Mooney hard.
Mooney has been spotted drinking Sangiovese alone until the wee hours of the morning for several days since news of the leadership spill was taking place.
His deteriorating mental state reached a crisis point when was spotted walking nude up Crown Street around lunchtime shouting “I’m the Prime Minister!”.
Mooney was a popular figure on the speaking circuit commanding thousands of dollars for his impressive impersonation of the now ex-PM.
But that’s all over now and Mooney is understandably distraught as a result.
“How do you do an impression of ScoMo? He’s the faceless man!” he shouted at police officers.
Undoubtedly now Bill Shorten will become the next PM and rumours are circulating that Mooney is already working on his impression.
Some close to Mooney believe he has booked surgery in Thailand to have artificial breasts implanted to resemble ‘Tits’ Shorten.
Police were forced to arrest Mooney who was deemed a danger to himself and others as he was highly inebriated, unable to control his bowels or speak coherently.
When asked for comment, TripleM’s Matthew Johns did not seem alarmed, “It’s lunchtime on a Friday. What else do you expect of the Moonman?” he said.
Asked what his future holds one relative said he believes Mooney may now try his hand at stand up comedy.
