Jaxon Human was the drop-dead gorgeous Love Island Australia contestant from Season One that was a dead ringer for Sons of Anarchy actor Charlie Hunnam. He was voted off on Day 30 of the reality television series, but that doesn’t mean we were happy to see him go. On the contrary, we really miss the guy! With Season Two of Love Island Australia in the works, we felt that it was about time we refreshed our memory with all things Jaxon Human.
1. What is Jaxon’s full name?
Jaxon’s full name is Jaxon Human, but this wasn’t always the case. Jaxon’s real name, or birth name as it is better put, was Kristian Jordan Nagel. Jaxon says he no longer uses this birth name because it reminds him of his father, with whom he is estranged. “I have sort of a relationship with my father in that name, and I don’t really speak to my father anymore,’ Jaxon explained to The Fix. “He obviously wasn’t a big part in my life.” Fans of Jaxon from Love Island were quick to draw parallels between him and the Sons of Anarchy character Jackson ‘Jax’ Teller who is played by actor Charlie Hunnam. Indeed, Jaxon looks so much like Charlie Hunnam (and has a ‘Sons of Anarchy‘ tattoo on his back), that his Love Island co-star Millie Fuller was certain that they were one and the same.

Love Island contestant Erin Barnett makes a good point in the above clip though – why would the real Charlie Booker be appearing on Love Island Australia when he’s part of a multi-million dollar tv drama? That’s using the ol’ noodle Erin!
2. How old is Jaxon?
Jaxon’s birthday was 20 September 1993, so he’ll turn 26 later this year.
3. How tall is Jaxon?
When Jaxon first arrived in the house, housemate Eden Dally was among the first the compare him to a shorter version of Sons of Anarchy character Jax Teller. Fellow contestant Josh Moss had previously been the shortest man in the villa and expressed relief that Jaxon had arrived. “I actually really really like Jaxon, he’s full of energy, he’s really cool, he’s chilled, he’s got the slicked back hair and now – I’m not the shortest guy in the villa, so I like him even more for that reason!”

Jaxon’s exact height is 1.78 metres, but despite his obvious movie-star good looks, some people just couldn’t get past his stature. Jaxon laid it all on the line with Cassidy, telling her straight up that he was drawn to her and found her intriguing, but Cassidy shot him down in flames saying “If there is one physical trait that I do need in a guy, it’s height”

Cassidy wasn’t the only one that felt Jaxon was vertically challenged. When contestant Edyn ‘Mac’ Mackney was questioned by her fellow housemates, it transpired that height was a make-or-break factor for her when it came to looking for a romantic partner.

6. What did Jaxon do before Love Island Australia?
Before he appeared on Love Island, Jaxon worked with children who had disabilities, was a tennis coach and also performed as a stripper. And he wasn’t any just any old stripper, Jaxon was making bank with his gorgeous bod. “Maximum I’ve made on a Saturday would be $3000 – minimum is $1000,” he told New Idea of his ‘house-calls’ “It does pay well, but sometimes it gets so busy that you might have to do 18 jobs a night back-to-back.”
*us right now*
He treated some of the lucky Love Island girls to an impromptu strip tease, and it was every inch a professional performance. No one’s mentioning Jaxon’s height now…
7. Who did Jaxon hook-up with on Love Island Australia?
Jaxon and housemate Shelby Bilby had a brief relationship, and unfortunately things between them eventually took a sour turn. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia after leaving the show, Jaxon said his relationship with Shelby wasn’t really progressing, citing that an element of playfulness was what was lacking between them and he himself felt confused. “Everything was deep and meaningful when we were conversing and there wasn’t really that laughter, there wasn’t really that fun” Jaxon said. “My emotions played on me a lot in the villa. I didn’t say anything bad, I just said “I’m not sure what I’m doing in the villa, I don’t know if this was the right decision, I don’t know if this person’s right for me”. Jaxon did concede that he enjoyed his time seeing Shelby but ultimately he just couldn’t reconcile the relationship and his emotional turmoil. “Every moment that I spent with Shelby was fantastic, but my emotions when I was away were different.” Shelby did not mirror Jaxon’s feelings in the slightest, and she did not hesitate to confronted him when he spoke to the boys behind her back.
8. Did Jaxon have any ‘out there’ moments on the show?
Well, there was this awkward moment when he confused misogyny with being a romantic. Fransçoise came to the rescue, pointing out that he’d dropped a bit of a clanger.

14. Does Jaxon have ADHD?
No. Jaxon has never publicly stated that he has ADHD, this is at best a rumour that started when Tash couldn’t get him to sit still during their Freaky-Friday moment and described him as having almost too much energy. Jaxon isn’t gay either, to address another FAQ. He just had a beautiful bromance with fellow contestant Teddy.
