He’s only been out of jail for a few months but according to a new report from The Sun, disgraced Australian entertainer Rolf Harris is plotting a career revival.
The publications claims the 87-year-old, who was sentenced to five years and nine months prison time in the UK after a jury convicted him on all 12 counts of indecent assault committed on girls as young as 7 between 1968 and 1986, has asked his team to find him a role on a TV show.
“Rolf genuinely believes he could still have a career after everything that’s gone on,” an insider explained to The Sun.
The source adds the former Animal Hospital star is “desperate to work” and is “going nuts” sitting idle in his Berkshire mansion.
Despite his battered reputation, the report says the Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport hitmaker believes an acting gig could help change the public’s opinion on him.
“They’ve said they will do all they could but in reality he’s seen as untouchable right now,” the source continued.
Reports also claim the musician is working on a comeback album and has penned a series of songs accusing his victims – some of who were just seven when he abused them – of being “money-grabbing woodworms” and mocking them for being old and no longer “pretty”.
Insiders claims the disgraced entertainer wants to land a TV role to help repair his reputation.
On January 9 this year, Harris came before another London court to face a further seven charges involving allegations made by seven women over a 33-year period from 1971.
He was found not guilty on two counts of indecent assault and one of sexual assault.
After being released from prison in May, Rolf was facing even more charges for the alleged assault of three women between 1971 and 1983.
However the jury were unable to reach a verdict and the artist was cleared.
Following his release, the father-of-one requested that he be able to spend his “final years in peace” with his wife, Alwen.
Rolf, pictured with his wife Alwen, was released from jail in May.
