Big Dick Energy: A carefully curated list of Australia’s A-list

“BIG dick energy” are the words taking over the internet — and it doesn’t just apply to blokes. These are the Aussie A-listers who have it in spades.

BIG dick energy has ravaged the globe.

You either got it or you don’t. And its presence can be determined within a second.

In case you’re not up to speed, prepare to wrap your mind around it.

Earlier this week, pop star and ponytail enthusiast Ariana Grande spectacularly revealed her fiance, Pete Davidson, had a big one. Like woo boy.

Of course, the admission generated very important discussion in the days that followed. Mainly about how it makes complete sense Pete is packing a whopper. Just look at him.

Pete Davidson just has that wow factor that screams BDE.

Even in those three-quarter board shorts, it’s obvious he has a big one. He exhibits a certain “something”. An X-factor. And he’s not alone. Many people have this quality, and Twitter has come up with a term to describe the trait: big dick energy.

The thing about big dick energy is its presence is not determined by the criteria that make up stereotypical masculinity. Chris Hemsworth has amazing arms and we’d all totally go there, but he doesn’t have BDE. But the Mick Jagger impersonator who I followed around Sydney’s Central Coast as a groupie for two months earlier this year had total big dick energy. He exuded it from every inch of his thin-limbed body.

It’s something about the person’s confidence that determines whether they have BDE. There’s no arrogance or cockiness. As The Cut explains, it’s just a “quiet confidence and ease with oneself”.

They have a sparkle in their eye. A charm. It’s how their body moves. The way they hold themselves and interact with others.

And it’s not just men who have BDE. Since the phrase was coined earlier this week, entire news stories and Twitter threads have been dedicated to analysing who else in popular culture exhibits dat BDE. And from this analysis, it seems more women have it than men.

Just look at Australian media and the Gold Logie nominations for this Sunday’s awards. Out of all the nominees, Tracy Grimshaw and Amanda Keller have mass BDE. Grant Denyer does not. Neither does that guy from Selling Houses.

And what about Australia’s other favourite talent?

Lisa Wilkinson has it in spades. Karl doesn’t. Neither does his brother Pete. Ben Fordham does. Kochie, nah. Ray Martin’s BDE makes you double take.

Tracy exudes.

Karl nah, Ben yah.

Goes without saying.

Studio 10’s Sarah Harris definitely has BDE. And it goes without saying Leigh Sales is packing inches.

Leigh’s BDE is palpable.

While Thor doesn’t, his little brother Liam Hemsworth absolutely does.

Beau Ryan definitely has BDE. So does Tommy Little. Waleed not so much.

Troye Sivan has got it.

When your little brother has more BDE than you.

Troye got it.

Osher Gunsberg, no. Some people might think the Honey Badger has BDE but I think it’s more MDE. Nah to Guy Sebastian.

Cate Blanchett’s BDE will make you cross your legs.

OMG it practically swings.

The point of this carefully curated list of oddly selected names isn’t to shame those with minimal dick energy. It’s purpose is purely educational to help the public identify the presence of big dick energy. Take this information and use it wisely. Now, go around your office right now and loudly assess your colleagues.
