After several years out of the public spotlight, Jimmy Jump—the guy who was once the most famous pitch invader in the world—is back. In April, he surfaced from nowhere on a Spanish TV show, which was recording a piece outside a prison in Germany about the exiled Catalan president, Carles Puigdemont.
Jimmy, whose real name is Jaume Marquet i Cot, popped up on camera wearing his trademark red barratina hat and draped in a Catalan flag. The reporter ran with it and carried out a short, impromptu interview. Jimmy explained he was there in solidarity with the imprisoned Puigdemont and that his gesture had given him the "adrenaline" to do more "saltas," or jumps.
