Publish date: 2024-02-20
In a recent podcast, Nash became an Internet sensation after opening up about how he lost his limbs.
It was not the first time the Australian storyteller talked about his story of becoming a quadruple amputee. Wherever he went, people used to get curious about his condition.
Many kids have asked him whether he is a robot, and he used to reply with a Yes. In 2019, Tom talked about his struggle at a TEDx conference.
A video clip of DJ Hookie from the ListenABLE podcast with Angus O'Loughlin and Dylan Alcott went viral on TikTok.
He said that he was always passionate about music and used to play guitar as a hobby before getting amputated.
.@DjHookie: One of the things I constantly get is people thinking because you have a disability, your life is horrible and you're constantly thinking about your disability.
I rarely think about it and when I do, it's not in a negative light.
