Raygun has made an unexpected appearance after her Olympic breaking routine went viral, busting out dance moves with an unlikely collaborator.

Come on board Richard Branson's adults-only cruise liner

Infamous breakdancer Rachael “Raygun” Gunn has been caught on camera dancing with billionaire Richard Branson in a wild new collaboration.

The 37-year-old B-girl instantly went viral after her performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics where she scored zero after hopping like a kangaroo and writhing around on the floor like a snake.

On Saturday morning Australian time, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson busted out some moves alongside the controversial performer as they sailed on a Virgin Voyages Celebration Voyage sailing in the Mediterranean.

Video footage shows Raygun welcomed onto the stage to huge cheers, and talking about what she loves most about breakdancing.

“It’s all about relaxing, it’s about having fun and it’s about being yourself, and I just totally love that,” Raygun said.

The B-girl then takes to the dance floor before Branson joins her, pulling out the infamous kangaroo hop move.

“Oh Richard, that was so three weeks ago, come on,” Raygun said, laughing it off.

She then gets the crowd involved in a group dance, standing at the head of the pool and encouraging everyone to follow along with her, reminiscent of a water aerobics class.

“That’s it, get it out — get some attitude!”

Branson then appears beside Raygun, taking her hand and pulling her into the pool with him.

The pair wade through the shallow edge before jumping into the deeper water while holding hands.

Raygun also spoke with iconic UK singer Boy George on the Scarlet Lady cruise after Branson invited her along to celebrate her creativity and individuality.

The wild footage has surfaced following the 37-year-old’s tell-all interview with The Project, where she revealed Branson was one of many who had reached out to her following the Olympics.

“It’s not just breakers that you have respected for a decade,” she said.

“It’s someone like Sir Richard Branson calling you to say that he enjoyed your performance and he thought that it was plucky, and courageous and fun.

“And you know he would love to … have me on some cruises with Boy George.

“Like what is life? I don’t know.”
