He's set to make a special guest appearance on Neighbours, but you might be excused if you don’t instantly recognise former Home and Away hunk Paul O'Brien (who played Jack Holden).
Paul stars as Eric Edwards, one of Toadie's clients, and filmed the appearance during a break from shooting a movie in Jakarta - a role which required him to grow the impressive beard he's currently sporting!
'The beard was definitely non-negotiable as I needed it to finish the film. However, the timing worked out well to do both projects, and I hope the new look adds to the role,' says Paul.
The Logie-award winning actor added he has had some interesting reactions to his new look.
'I’ve had a lot of double takes with people saying, "Aren’t you...?" and then they just walk on,' jokes Paul.
Paul’s episodes air from 7 November on Channel 5.
