The Australian influencer who has made headlines several times for accosting A-listers appears to have taken a hit to his event-going lifestyle.

Johnson Wen, who goes by Pyjama Man online, is known for crashing concerts, red carpets and sporting events to meet celebrities.

But a video shared to TikTok shows Wen, 26, has now traded in rushing celebrities for handing out DoorDash pamphlets on the side of the street in Sydney.

The clip clearly showed Wen dressed in black shorts and a red T-shirt with DoorDash emblazoned across the front, standing in the middle of a busy street.

Wen appeared downcast in the video, which was shared by a user named Jimbo, as he attempted to pass flyers out to passers-by.

'One day you're rushing a premiere with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo being freaked out by your presence,' Jimbo could be heard saying as he filmed Wen.
'You're trying to rush the stage with Katy Perry, other pop stars,' Jimbo continued.
'But you know you aren't going to be able to afford those tickets unless you're handing out pamphlets for DoorDash.'

Daily Mail has reached out to Wen and DoorDash for comment.

Wen last made headlines in December when he was kicked out of Lady Gaga's Brisbane concert.

He shared an update on Instagram at the time after gaining entry to the Mayhem Ball tour concert at Suncorp Stadium.

'Got kicked out of the Lady Gaga concert!' Wen shared in a caption alongside a selfie. 'The show doesn't start until 8pm. The early fans were booing me.'

Footage shared on TikTok by gig-goers showed Wen being escorted from the venue, flanked by burly security guards.

Crowds booed and cheered as Wen, who is known for accosting A-listers, was removed from the partially packed venue while offering little resistance.

It came weeks after Wen was deported from Singapore, according to reports.

Wen was sent home to Australia, Singaporean news network CNA reported in November.

'Johnson Wen was deported to Australia on Nov 23, 2025 and has been barred from re-entering Singapore,' an ICA spokesman said, as per CNA.

Wen was jailed in Singapore for nine days after accosting American singer and actress Grande on the red carpet.

Grande and other celebrities were attending the opening night of the film at Universal Studios in Singapore on the evening of November 13 when Wen jumped the barricade and put his arm around the actress.

Footage, which went viral, showed the content creator lunging at Grande and putting his arm around her as she struggled to get away.

Grande was walking beside her co-star Cynthia Erivo, who bravely jumped in front of her when she saw the man running toward them.

Wen, who is infamous for crashing events where he accosts celebrities until security removes him, was arrested hours later on November 14 and charged with 'being a public nuisance'.

Wen shared clips from the moment on his Instagram Story, writing: 'Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You.'

Eerie videos taken before he jumped over a barricade to see Grande showed him saying it was his 'dream' to meet the actress.

Standing underneath a poster of Grande in Wicked, Wen said: 'I feel like I'm in a dream. That's my best friend Ariana Grande and I'm going to meet her.'

'I've been dreaming about that,' he added before doing a theatrical laugh.

After his stunt, Wen later posted on his Instagram Stories again saying he was 'free' after Grande’s fans watched him get tackled to the ground by security.

'This act was premeditated,' Singapore District Judge Christopher Goh said, before handing Wen a nine-day sentence on November 17.

This is far below the maximum penalty afforded by law: three months in jail, a fine of $1,500, or both.

Dressed in a plain white shirt and appearing via video link, Wen at first seemed confused when prosecutors read out the charge, but proceeded to enter a guilty plea.

Wen, who is alleged to have disrupted other global sports events and concerts, 'showed a pattern of behaviour which suggests that you will do it again,' said the judge.

'You seem to be attention-seeking, thinking only of yourself and not the safety of others when committing these acts,' added Goh.

He told Wen he was 'wrong' to think his actions would bear no consequences.

'You should be mindful that there are always consequences for one's actions.'

Asked if he had anything to say in mitigation of his sentence, Wen told the judge: 'I won't do it again, Your Honour. I am going to stop getting into trouble.'

Goh said the court needed to 'send a signal to like-minded individuals... that we will not condone any act that potentially undermines the reputation of Singapore as a safe country'.

Already behind bars for four days at the time, Wen had another five to serve.

Wen is a frequent red carpet crasher, having also crashed The Weeknd concert in Melbourne in August 2025.

He was also pulled off-stage by security at The Chainsmokers' Sydney concert in July. A month earlier, in June, he ambushed Katy Perry on a Sydney stage.

Wen doesn't stop at music concerts or actors; he has also been known to streak across stadiums during huge sporting events.

The streaker also has a GoFundMe account linked to his Instagram, where he begs his followers to 'pay off all my bills'.
