Christiaan Van Vuuren is an actor and video blogger from Sydney, Australia. Van Vuuren was placed in quarantine in a Sydney hospital twice for tuberculosis. While in quarantine he produced his first video using the nickname The Fully Sick Rapper, entitled "I'm not sick, but I'm sick sick", not knowing this was merely the beginning of both worldwide popularity and half a year of quarantine. Van Vuuren's humorous videos and outlook on his medical situation have garnered attention within Australia and worldwide. He has been featured on television programs such as Nine Network's Today Show and ABC2's Australian Story.
In 2014 Van Vuuren starred with Nicholas Boshier in the television series Soul Mates; the two previously collaborated on the web series Bondi Hipsters.
Van Vuuren's first quarantine period began when he started coughing up blood and an x-ray revealed a hole in his lung: he was admitted to hospital on 9 December 2009 and placed in isolation on 11 December 2009. This first period of quarantine ended on 2 January 2010. Van Vuuren was re-admitted on 18 January 2010 when his tuberculosis proved resistant to medication. He was finally released from quarantine on 28 June 2010 after producing many more videos about his experience in isolation. His videos recorded as The Fully Sick Rapper while quarantined received over one million hits and led to the World Health Organization (WHO) contacting him to help promote World Tuberculosis Day. His Facebook page has attracted over 14,000 people.
As of 6 December 2010, Van Vuuren has 21 videos available on his YouTube channel. His web series Bondi Hipsters has helped views of his videos to reach over 4 million as of May 2012[update]. His stuntman brother helps him to write webisodes.
