A tradie from country Victoria who makes a habit of crashing exclusive parties can now add the Logies to his impressive A-list of conquests.
The man, who will only reveal his identity as Alfie, claims he savoured sweet liquor from every AFL Premiership cup throughout the 90s to the early part of this decade, and always parties in the exclusive Paddock Club after the Australian Formula One Grand Prix, despite not being entitled to legitimately rub shoulders with the luminaries.
The electrician, from Bairnsdale in Victoria's far East, told News Limited he hung out with Rove McManus, Kate Ritchie and Magda Szubanski at the weekend's Logie Awards, and all were extremely friendly.
Alfie said he often moonlights as a reporter from the fictional Bairnsdale Bulletin, but apart from that refuses to give away the exact methodology he uses in his serial gatecrashing.
Alfie has also been known to attend sporting press conferences to ask questions.
A father of two, Alfie says he might have to consider hanging up his phony boots, as his kids are embarassed.
"I'm 49 and my kids keep telling me to grow up, but I enjoy the challenge too much," he said.
"You have to look like you should be there. I have the gift of the gab. I can talk my way in anywhere. And free beer always tastes better."
Alfie has pictures to prove his claims are true.
