Jason Donovan, 55, shows he's still a heartthrob three decades on from Neighbours heyday as he models tiny swim briefs at Bondi Beach

He was one of the Eighties' best known heartthrobs and had millions of fans with his role as Scott Robinson on Neighbours. 

And Jason Donavon, 55, proved he was still every inch the hunk as he enjoyed a day at Bondi Beach on Monday. 

Three decades on from his stint on the Australian soap, the actor was still turning heads as he stripped down to a pair of tiny swimming trunks. 

He put his toned frame on display in blue briefs as he enjoyed a dip in the ocean and also sported chipped black nail polish.  

The Too Many Broken Hearts singer lives in west London and in south Oxfordshire with his wife Angela and three children but often returns to his native Australia.

Last year, Jason detailed his meticulous self care routine including regular massages, healthy eating and even pedicures.

He explained how he keeps fit and in control and likes to treat himself with the occasional beauty or wellness treatment.

In terms of diet, to start the day he enjoys a drink of hot lemon before having pasta or sushi for lunch and then a small evening meal of tacos with guacamole.

He told The Times: 'I'm up at 7am and always start my day with hot water and lemon. In the mornings I only eat fruit so I don't feel too heavy, as I'm a big fitness person and like to go to the gym early.

'I like to get a massage twice a week and love a foot massage and to get my nails done. 

'For lunch I have sushi or pasta. I'm a better person when I don't drink alcohol. I sleep better, am happier, less anxious and more in control.

'I don’t eat a big meal until I get home and then I love guacamole with salsa and taco chips or some prosciutto with melon and chicken liver pâté.'

Jason is best known for playing Scott Robinson on Neighbours from 1986 to 1989, which he left to launch a career as a pop singer in 1988.

His character's romance with co-star Kylie Minogue's character Charlene Robinson was a highlight of the show with Scott and Charlene's wedding being watched by two million Australians on July 1, 1987.

Their union was an even bigger attraction when it aired in the UK a year later, drawing 19.6 million viewers, making it Britain's third most-watched show of 1988.

Yet while Jason is thankful Neighbours helped him raise to prominence, he insists he is owed some gratitude from producers too as he put in a lot of work during his time on the soap.

He told the Mirror this month: 'It’s given me a fantastic life. I will forever be in debt to that moment. But I put a lot of work into it. It owes me a little bit too.'

Kylie and Jason, who were dating in real life at the time were household names in both countries, and went on to launch music careers in the UK.

Their on-screen relationship began after Scott mistook Charlene for an intruder at his neighbour Madge Ramsay's house, before eventually learning she was Madge's daughter.

After getting married, the pair left Erinsborough and moved to Brisbane.

Kylie quit Neighbours in June 1988, having become the first person to win four Logie Awards in one year and the youngest ever recipient of a Gold Logie.

She went on to launch a phenomenally successful music career, selling more than 80 million albums worldwide.

After leaving Neighbours in 1989, Jason, like Kylie, pursued a pop career and while he may not have been as successful as his on-screen bride, he had a string of hits including Too Many Broken Hearts and Sealed With A Kiss.

Off screen, the couple dated from 1986 to 1989 - famously sharing a night of passion in a Travelodge.

They were so popular at this time, they even recorded the Christmas Number 1 single Especially For You.

In 2022, they made a return to Neighbours for its finale episode on Channel 5, with the soap also getting the chop in Australia after Channel 5's refusal to keep funding it meant it could no longer continue. It was later announced it would make a comeback on Amazon Prime.
