Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has offered to play cupid for a Brisbane woman in a potty-mouthed video urging a male suitor to not “f**k around” in deciding whether or not to date her.

An ebullient Mr Rudd agreed to film the video at a bar in Brisbane over the weekend for the woman, who promptly posted it to TikTok where it’s already attracted more than 50,000 likes.

“You should make this woman your girlfriend because she is a serious sheila. I think she would be great for your future,’’ Mr Rudd says in the video.

“So don’t f**k around.”

Mr Rudd followed up by urging others to consider the use of his services to solve other lonely hearts problems on the woman’s TikTok page.

“If you ever spot me out and about in Queensland, come say hi like Amy did. Hope it helps,’’ he wrote.

It’s not the first time that Mr Rudd has been caught on tape deploying expletives for dramatic effect.

Nearly ten years ago, a video showing a furious Kevin Rudd ranting and swearing was leaked on the internet in the midst of his leadership war with Julia Gillard.

Posted under the title Kevin Rudd is a happy little vegemite, the clip is a compilation of out-takes as an increasingly frustrated Foreign Affairs Minister fluffs his lines struggling to deliver a recorded speech.

“Arrrgghhh mate this is just impossible,” he says, looking off-camera.

“Just tell these d---heads in the embassy to just give me simple sentences …”

In 2009, he reportedly told journalists at a climate change summit in Copenhagen in 2009 that “those Chinese ratf*ckers are trying to ratf*ck us”.
