Peter Hore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Hore (sometimes spelt Hoare in Australian media) is the nom de guerre of Peter Michael Howard (born 1960 in Australia). He is known for having disrupted numerous sporting events as well as the funeral of former INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, often with bizarre religious claims or gratuitous nudity. Hore currently resides in the city of Newcastle, New South Wales.

He has previously claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, Nostradamus and a secret agent. In 1998, Hore made an appearance in John Safran's Media Tycoon, one of the two pilots Safran made after his appearance on the ABC's Race Around the World.

Hore promised to disrupt the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne. Games security officers were well prepared for him and no incidents were reported.
