FameRank: 5

"Robert Allan Arnold", commonly known as Rob Arnold, is a singer from Wellington, New Zealand, who achieved fame in a New Zealand boy band, Boyband (band)/Boyband, as “Gay Boy”. Their debut single, a remake of the classic The Kinks/Kinks song "You Really Got Me", debuted at #1 on the New Zealand Music Charts on 9 October 2006.

Before Boyband, Rob had auditioned for every series of New Zealand Idol, as well as achieving minor notoriety by auditioning twice on reality show “Showstoppers”, the second time in disguise, incurring the anger of judge Michael Hurst. He also appeared on the ill-fated TV Reality TV Show "The Ultimate Challenge". He has also appeared on Maori Television's "Te Mika Show" in 2006 and TVNZ’s "How Normal Are You".

Growing up in Porirua, Rob is the youngest of five children. He and his older sister Jaime Arnold, who was the previous holder of the "Ms Gay Downunder" title and a former columnist for UP magazine, controversially won the Cutest Couple award at the Glammies (a Wellington gay community award ceremony), in which Rob also took home the "Spunkiest Boy" Award. In the same year he was crowned "Queer Idol", as part of the UniQ Pride Week celebrations.
