AFL hero. Porn star. Meter maid. Stripper. Lollipop man. The next Hulk Hogan. Now Warrick Capper can add TV star to his burgeoning CV.

The former Sydney Swans full-forward has just about finished filming a pilot episode of Capper's World, an insight into one of Australian sport's most eccentric characters.

And he is convinced it will be a smash hit here and overseas.

"Doug Mulray told me the Cappers would make The Osbournes look like the Brady Bunch," Capper said.

"It will be well worth watching. It won't be boring. A lot of people like me. I'm a larrikin. Every day people come up to me, wherever I am around Australia, because they like my persona.

"I'm not afraid to voice my opinion, and I'm a bit out there. They seem to like that. It has got me into trouble.

"Somebody hit me over the head with an umbrella once. I tipped her over and I got in trouble again.

"People miss the fact I'm not out there taking marks and sitting on heads out in the premiership again.

"People miss the entertainment I used to bring them because all the guys are like robots now.

"There's no one-on-ones and it's quite boring. Remember everyone doing the 'Cappas' when they were at school. Someone was telling me they still do the catchcry at school - 'Caaaaappa, you beauty!'

"That's the legacy I've left after 25 years. When I die, they will still be saying it - 'Jesaulenko ... Capper ... you f---ing beeeeeeauty!"'

The 44-year-old wants to take the show to America, where he wants to crack the pro wrestling ranks.

"You know Hulk Hogan? Well, I'm the younger version of him," he said.

"Have you heard of the Naked Cowboy? Well, I'm going to be the Naked Capper. They like Steve Irwin, and I'm a bit unusual, like him. They love Paul Hogan, and I've got more personality than him. If they can do it, I can.

"I'm the Paris Hilton of Australia .. we're both blond, incredibly modest and good-looking. We're both [porn] movie stars and we'd go to the opening of an envelope."

Capper said he hoped to bring his trademark mullet back into vogue.

"I love the mullet. I like Richard Wilkins' one ... and Kerri-Anne [Kennerly's]. Have you seen the AFL commercial I did with the mullet? It's got Bill Hunter talking."
