Didi Bizzarro to re-enact grandfather's iconic stunt at Gas Motorshow 2025
This June, international stuntman Didi Bizzarro will bring a historic car stunt back to South Africa, marking 50 years since his grandfather first performed it at the Rand Show in 1975. The stunt will be a highlight of the Gas Motorshow 2025, taking place in Durban over Father's Day weekend, June 14 to 15.
Bizzarro, known for his work in films such as Fast X, John Wick and Red Notice, described the event as a personal milestone.
'To honour my grandfather by bringing this stunt back to South Africa — precisely 50 years later — is something I'll never forget. There's history behind it, but also a challenge: to do it justice with today's precision and showmanship. I want it to be a real Father's Day experience, not just for my family, but for everyone watching.'
The motorshow will also feature freestyle motocross displays from riders including Jacques Roema and Monster Energy's Dallen Goldman. Attendees can view a variety of vehicles, ranging from JDM models and classic customs to stanced builds and drag racers. The Sound Off competition will return with internationally ranked judges, and several prominent figures from South Africa's car community will be present.
Event hours are 9am to midnight on Saturday and 9am to 11pm on Sunday. Tickets cost between R300 and R1,500, with free entry for children under ten and discounted rates for pensioners. Tickets are available at Webtickets and Pick n Pay outlets nationwide.

Hailey Bieber turns heads in green amid marriage rumours
Hailey Bieber stunned New Yorkers on Saturday night, stepping out in a striking green satin mini dress and kitten heels. Just a day earlier, Hailey was spotted without her wedding ring, sparking fears for the couple's relationship. This came after a reported heated argument between the pair on Father's Day, when Hailey allegedly called Justin a 'child.' The incident followed a series of concerning social media posts from Justin, including bizarre messages and private admissions of feeling 'traumatised.' Despite the drama, Hailey appeared unbothered as she arrived in the city. The model shielded her eyes with sunglasses and was accompanied by her bodyguard, according to Page Six. She looked bronzed and radiant, showing no visible signs of distress. An insider revealed, 'Hailey was beyond furious after Justin's posts. She begged him to seek professional help instead of airing his struggles online.' The source added that the couple's relationship has been rocky for months, with tensions rising after Justin's controversial behaviour. Justin, 31, did not publicly acknowledge Hailey or their nine-month-old son, Jack, on Father's Day. He instead shared cryptic posts and private messages. Hailey Bieber, meanwhile, shared one of Justin's photos of their family but made no public tribute to him. The couple's troubles have drawn widespread attention, with fans expressing concern over their future. Hailey's return to wearing her wedding ring may signal a desire to maintain their bond despite the challenges. Hailey Bieber's glamorous appearance in New York, coupled with her ring's return, suggests she is standing strong amid the turmoil. As one fan commented, 'She looks stunning and resilient. We hope they find peace soon.' As the couple navigates their difficulties, many will watch closely, hoping for a happy resolution.
