(NewsNation) — Rachel “Raygun” Gunn stunned the world after competing in breakdancing at the Paris Olympics this summer … and getting zero scores on the board. Debuting unheard-of moves like “The Kangaroo” and “The Snake” while writhing on the ground, sometimes on her head, Raygun fascinated almost everyone … and endured worldwide mockery for her enthusiastic yet bizarre efforts.

But she did garner some fans — and her biggest one? Billionaire Richard Branson.

Last weekend, Virgin owner Richard Branson put up pics of him and Raygun on Instagram, noting, “‘Breaking’ news with Raygun! 🤸 Hats off to Raygun for being so bold and making people smile. Invited her and husband Sam on board @VirginVoyages and we had a blast. Proud to have them as new friends, she can go home with her head held high. @RayGun_Aus.”

Gunn also posted on her Instagram, which showed pics of her, her husband and Branson hanging out at a chateau, backstage with Boy George at a concert (presumably on the Virgin boat?) and Branson bowing down to her at dinner.

Good on you, Raygun!
