He’s the professional AFL player-turned-reality TV star.
In 2021 he made a name for himself when he joined Channel Nine’s social experiment Married At First Sight.
His experience on the show was chaotic, as he was paired with a woman who got caught kissing an old flame on camera during the finale.

He has spoken openly about his struggles with mental health and only recently stepped down from his position as CEO of his charity.
Long before his salt and pepper hair came about, he was a blonde teenager ready to tackle the world.
Posting to his Instagram on Thursday, the former athlete shared a throwback photo of himself attending a family wedding during his teenage years.
