Beppe Grillo, an actor-come-activist, said he was “proud to be a populist” and called on the Italian public to “say no” in an impassioned interview with the BBC.
The interview comes as part of a documentary looking into the rise of “populist” candidates in elections across Europe.
Mr Grillo said: “I’ve got no voice, I’m being consumed by passion. I’m a comedian. You have to understand that my brain doesn’t work like a politician’s brain.
“I think about something, then the next day I say something else. It’s a very beautiful word, populism. I’m proud to be a populist.
“We need to say no! Say no! No! There’s a part of society in Italy and the world which has nothing.”
The activist, who founded his party along with entrepreneur Gianroberto Casaleggio, has made significant gains around the country since the party launched in 2010.
Mr Grillo slammed mainstream politicians for running “scared” of his campaign.
“We are already bringing about change,” he said. “This is what the establishment is scared of. Of joy, the sense of humour, of irony.”
