Iconic Australian soap star looks unrecognisable as he takes his daughter for a walk on Sydney’s Coogee Beach

Peter O’Brien, known for his role as Shane Ramsay in Neighbours, was spotted enjoying a sunny day with his daughter Darcey at Coogee Beach in Sydney.

The 64-year-old actor looked a far cry from his ’80s heartthrob image, looking relaxed in his casual attire.

Peter wore a navy puffer jacket over a black printed T-shirt, paired with burgundy jeans, adding a pop of colour to his relaxed look.

He wore a green baseball cap and sunglasses, which protected him from the bright winter sun.

He was wearing a shoulder bag across his body and was holding a red dog leash, which could indicate a four-legged friend was present on their beach outing.

Darcey, 19, emulated her dad’s casual style with a comfy, oversized brown sweater with blue and red stripes.

She paired it with comfortable white sweatpants and black shoes.

The teenager, carrying a beige bag over her shoulder, appeared engrossed in her phone as the duo strolled along the beachfront path.

Peter rose to fame in the 1980s as one of the original Neighbours actors.

His character, Shane Ramsay, became a household name and contributed to the phenomenal success of the series, both in Australia and internationally.

After leaving Neighbours in 1987, Peter continued to pursue a prolific acting career, with notable roles in series such as The Flying Doctors, Queer as Folk and Underbelly: The Golden Mile.
