A tattooed bloke says he's 'breaking stereotypes' as people assume he's a 'proper geezer' but are stunned to see him become a viral knitting sensation - earning thousands of female admirers in the process. Jude Moore learnt to knit as a young boy when he was sent to live with his nan, and has been handy with a ball of yarn and knitting needles ever since.
The 26-year-old admits that his hobby is 'breaking stereotypes' as people often assume he's a 'proper geezer' just from looking at him. In addition to subverting gender stereotypes, the model also acknowledges that his recreational activity calms his anxiety and agoraphobia, likening its relaxing effects to how others would smoke a joint.
Since sharing his pastime on TikTok, Jude has accumulated more than one million views and thousands of comments from many female admirers who have deemed him the ideal boyfriend. Jude, from Basildon, Essex, said: "I say I spend a good eight to 10 hours a week knitting. I do a lot of gym and a lot of boxing too, so I'm always busy.
