Ever wondered what Purple Wiggle Big Strong John Pearce gets up to when he’s not wiggling? Well wonder no more.
John calls the inner west suburb of Rozelle home, and can often be seen working out in King George Park on the outdoor calisthenic equipment. Pull ups, push ups, dips – Big Strong John does it all! The park is a great place for an outdoor fitness session!
Post workout, John often heads to The Fruitologist, part fruit and veg shop, part supermarket deli, part café and one hundred percent wholesome. John loves to grab a protein shake, acai bowl with extra peanut butter and of course fruit salad. He is a Wiggle after all!
Every balanced diet needs carbs, and for pizza and pasta John can’t go past Da Toto in Gladesville. There, chef Gianpierro and award-winning pizzaiola Marco, whip up some truly delightful dishes direct from Naples. Gnocchi, Zuppa Di Mare and Ziti Genovese to name a few, not to mention pizzas like the margherita and the marco. This also is a special place for John as it was here he met Anthony Field and first discussed joining The Wiggles, and now he loves to visit with his wife Jessie and baby Henry.
Workouts, protein shakes and pizza – that’s what makes John Pearce Big Strong John.
