Scene from “Can’t Wait”
Groundbreaking gay athletes Mitch Brown, a former AFL player, and Ian Roberts, a legendary former rugby league star, take center stage in the vibrant, steamy new music video for “Can’t Wait” by gay Australian pop artist ANDY (Andy Cook).
The collaboration bridges two worlds that rarely intersect, bringing together mainstream sports and gay pop culture to create a powerful celebration of visibility and resilience. Ian Roberts made global history in 1995 as the first high-profile Australian rugby league player—and the first professional rugby footballer in the world—to publicly come out as gay, paving the way for generations of athletes. Alongside him, former AFL standout Mitch Brown adds his own voice to the project’s themes of authenticity.
By uniting these sports pioneers with a proud queer pop artist, the video boldly dismantles traditional boundaries of masculinity and redefines what it means to be a modern role model. It ultimately delivers an inspiring, high-energy message of acceptance, pride, and community to fans across both the stadium and the dancefloor.
