How beloved Aussie star Lucinda Light accidently sparked ‘hilarious’ celebrity trend

Married at First Sight alum Lucinda Light thinks it’s “hilarious” that she accidently started a massive social media trend that caught the attention of some major Hollywood stars.

The 45-year-old, whipped out her phone to film an impromptu TikTok after going for a swim in Byron Bay and explained she’s been blown away by the reaction online.

She told the camera she had just “gone for a swim in the ocean, topless.”

“You have boobs too,” she added in the now viral video which has been 4.9 million times.

Her effortlessly nonchalant tone of voice immediately sparked an online trend, with social media creators lip-syncing to her video.

However, it got so big that it drew attention from Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams and Suicide Squad actress Cara Delevingne, who both posted videos of themselves lip-syncing to Light’s voice.

“I’m so touched, these are massive big stars, I’m just little old me,” Light told nine.com.au.

“It’s hilarious, it just makes me giggle, I’m just a bit earthy, a beach loving person, it’s sweet, I’m very touched.”

She revealed filming the video was a spontaneous move.

“It was just in the moment, I’ve got such a beautiful community around me, it’s just nice to share,” she said.

“The last thing I expected was that these mega stars [would be] imitating it... it’s just wild to me.”

Light confessed she didn’t know who Williams and Delevingne were, but she quickly googled them after realising they were famous.

Aside from accidently going viral, the former MAFS bride said she’s been dating in Australia again since returning from the UK for the reality show Celebs go Dating.

“They’ve all been really lovely, but I wouldn’t say there’s anybody that I’m ready to take to mums,” she said.

“I’ve just been getting to know people, but I’m trusting that moment will come... it’s inevitable that I’ll meet somebody at some stage that will really take my interest, and we’ll go from there.”  

Light rose to fame as a fan-favourite on Season 11 of MAFS, which aired in 2024. Her eccentric character and Bohemian vibe immediately resonated with audiences, and captured the heart of viewers around the country.

Before the show, she worked as a wedding celebrant and event MC.

While she didn’t find love on the show, she transitioned into a new career off the back of the experience, which included publishing books about personal growth and building a social media presence.
