Former The Bachelor Australia star Tim Robards has left his legion of fans utterly stunned after unveiling a shockingly different appearance. The chiropractor-turned-reality star, known for his clean-cut, suave image, has completely transformed his look with a wild new hairstyle and a thick, full beard.
Robards, 41, took to Instagram to share his dramatic new visage with his followers. Gone is the perfectly coiffed hair he was known for during his 2013 season of the hit dating show. In its place is a much longer, textured style with a noticeable fringe, paired with a substantial beard that marks a significant departure from his usual stubble.
The photo, which appears to have been taken in a London bar, shows a relaxed Robards smiling for the camera. He captioned the post with a simple "Hello from London," letting his new look do all the talking.
The reaction from fans and followers was immediate and filled with surprise. Comments flooded in expressing a mix of shock and admiration for his bold new style. Many noted that he was almost unrecognisable from the man who famously found love with Anna Heinrich on national television.
This style evolution comes after Robards recently wrapped up a significant chapter in his acting career, having played the role of Pierce Greyson on the long-running Australian soap opera Neighbours. His character met a dramatic end in the show's final episode on Channel 10, before its revival on Amazon Freevee.
Robards and Heinrich, who married in 2018, are now proud parents to a young daughter, Elle. The couple, who live in Sydney, are considered one of the most successful couples to emerge from the Bachelor franchise, both in Australia and internationally.
This isn't the first time the health and wellness advocate has experimented with his appearance, but it is certainly his most drastic change to date. The new look has sparked speculation among fans about whether this transformation is for a new role or simply a personal style choice during his time in the UK.
