Naked nutjob in miracle jump off Brooklyn Bridge is Kazakhstan activist who plotted plunge on birthday: roommate

The naked nutjob who jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge is an activist against Kazakhstan’s government — and bragged he was going to make the daring leap on his birthday, his roommate revealed Monday.

“He was telling me he was going to do it,” Josh Karadag, 43, the roomie of accused jumper Galymzhan Abaildayev told The Post.

“Yesterday was his birthday,” he said, adding he was recently inspired by two people who leaped off the bridge last month.

“He said, ‘I’m gonna jump from the bridge and he did.’”

Abaildayev, 44, is facing several charges after he survived the wild nude jump off the north tower on the Manhattan side of the bridge.

The Brooklyn man erected several flags on top of the bridge, including a Kazakhstan one — because he’s a vocal opponent of the country.

“I always tell him, ‘Can you change anything in Kazakhstan? No, you can’t, so live your life, brother,’” said Karadag, a Turkish-born artist.

“Batman will speech your text in Turkish, Kazakh, English or Russian on a social media or privately,” a description on his page bizarrely notes. “Declarations of love, wishes, of any nature, the text will be read out and published on my page if desired.”

Karadag said his roommate recently told him he led a boring, penniless life — and ignored his pleas not to leap off the bridge.

“He never wanted to live. It was obvious he was going to jump.”

Abadildayev, who is still hospitalized after surviving the 278-foot drop into the East River, also lives with a girlfriend.

Karadag described him as a “very respectful” pal troubled about the country’s prime minister, Oljas Bektenov.

“The only thing that makes him crazy is the politics in Kazakhstan,” Karadag added.
