‘I did it for Sophie’: Teen who jumped in croc-infested river

TODAY chat with Queensland teen Lee De Paauw, who jumped into crocodile infested waters to impress a girl and luckily, lived to tell the tale.

[@SirSSau]

The dude is still high off the meds

[@offwiththefairiesforever2373]

Yes and a Queensland boy from Cairnes lol bless him x Them x

[@christianmulley9458]

Should’ve just interviewed the croc, would’ve got a better interview

[@juniorfanti3005]

Bet croc Sophie dared the croc to bite the human 😅

[@Dark_Wraith_X]

He took simp to another level

[@dylansimko2224]

"She didn't even know I was being attacked at first" 😂😂😂

[@MrVpassenheim]

You just gotta love so many of the interviews on these shows. They're just so raw and unpretentious and some of these characters, man!

[@Biscuitabuse]

Did the croc maul his brain cells too?

[@MrVpassenheim]

I don't think you can blame that one on the crocodile. The boy's obviously not playing with a full deck.

[@maxi7255]

He’s on medicine

[@tomchuur6431]

What, all 16 of them?

[@nbb6609]

[@jeffgoespewpew7189]

[@darrenknight443]

[@TheShodan92]

"She said she'll go out to the movies with me" .... " What do you think you'll go and see"..... "umm ... Dumb and Dumber ".

[@one7decimal2eight]

Simps gonna simp

[@RioBow]

And the moral of this story is. She is now going out with his best friend. Because she thinks he is a prat.

[@deitchj003]

RIO BOW nah she’s with him dude

[@loose_phlegm3047]

He's so lucky to have that arm

[@TheShodan92]

"On a scale of 1 to 10 how much did it hurt?" .... Ummm.... what's 1 to 10?.

[@matthewcullen1298]

That truly is a sad representation of our young Queenslanders.

[@TheHollomap]

What a fucking legend

[@yungcrowley1366]

He's a fucking Australian hero mate

[@sunnyjim1355]

Yeah, 70 IQ points... proper Aussie.

[@308V8HZ]

Almost a dead Aussie hero !!

[@danielseriki6519]

In the words of Courage the cowardly dog the things I do for love

[@offwiththefairiesforever2373]

Amen x Love Oz

[@offwiththefairiesforever2373]

But yeah real

[@kyuubi3408]

A guy in Broome W.A jumped into a Croc Park enclosure because he was drunk and thought he could telepathically communicate with crocodiles. Trust me... this type of idiocy is rife in my country.

[@bellaggio1770]

He is so bright he should go into politics

[@prateeksurana6797]
