The figurehead behind the globally knwon whistle blowers movement Wikileaks, Julian Assange can spring up surprises as to what next in line to be done as the Australian would be launching his own TV chat show.
If the statement released on Monday night is anything to go by,then it can be said authoritatively that he is hosting a tv show soonest.
According to the Washington Post, Julian Assange released the statement though WikiLeaks that he would be hosting guests including “iconoclasts, visionaries and power insiders” who would then be challenged on world affairs and “their ideas on how to secure a brighter future.”
The statement finished praising Assange as “a pioneer for a more just world and a victim of political repression.”
Assange who was described by an expert on celebrity culture from Staffordshire University said “Assange has got a good, deep voice and agreeable Aussie accent, but he’s a slow, deliberate talker and not especially televisual”.
Cashmore said further “To be true to his image, he would have to make his proposed show subversive; and that might not appeal to many would-be guests.”
Indeed the WikiLeaks boss is still fighting extradition to Sweden where he’s wanted for sex crime allegations, so it’s moot whether he’ll even be able to present any possible show.
