Sri Lanka’s Got Talent’s Sudarshana Deshappriya proves a real knockout

MISTER Miyagi would have had his work cut out trying to iron out the mistakes in this disastrous effort from a Sri Lanka’s Got Talent contestant, but he gets points for trying.

SRI Lanka is perhaps best known for its unorthodox tea, blue sapphires, cinnamon and right-arm off-spin wizardry.

But it is no doubt lesser known for producing the most unorthodox contestant ever in a “Got Talent” reality TV series.

Sudarshana Deshappriya, 32, (aka Karate Kid) took to the stage and proceeded to have brick tiles smashed against his arms, before he smashed a tile against his own head and went toppling backwards off a platform.

Award-winning actor and judge Jackson Anthony had seen enough and buzzed him out.

But shockingly, after being helped up, the clearly concussed contestant moved to the front of the stage and did the best he could to split some more tiles before Anthony finally called time on the act, clapping and crying, “Stop it son.”

The Twittersphere was not kind.
