Lincoln Younes doesn't look like this anymore! Home and Away heartthrob debuts new rugged appearance

Home and Away star Lincoln Younes has shocked his fans with his incredible new magazine spread.

The actor, 32, appears on the cover of the December issue of Australian Men's Health and looks completely unrecognisable from the angsy teenager he played on the Channel Seven series from 2011 - 2014.

Lincoln no longer has the boyish looks he had on Summer Bay and proudly showed off his muscular frame and six-pack abs as he posed shirtless in a Baywatch themed photo shoot.

The Sydney-born actor flexes his bulging biceps as he lifts weights to demonstrate his commitment to fitness.

He also sports a thick five o'clock shadow, leaving him almost unrecognisable from his time on Home and Away.

However, he still has the same cheeky grin that won over many female fans on the long-running soap opera. 

The photo was shared to social media and Lincoln's fans quickly took to the comment section to gush over his bold new look.

'Love this. Love you,' wrote Australian actress Kate Mulvany.

'Hash tag thirst trap,' a second person added and a third user chipped in: 'Hot af.' 

Lincoln started his career playing Romeo Kovac in Showcase drama series Tangle, before scoring a starring role on Home and Away as Casey Braxton.

These days he enjoys a successful career, recently appearing in the Paramount+ series Last King of the Cross.

The show was recently renewed for a second season.

He also has a feature role in the Stan Original series C*A*U*G*H*T, starring alongside Hollywood star Sean Penn, Ben O'Toole and Alexander England.

Lincoln achieved his goal of making it in Hollywood in 2019 when he was cast in a main role in the US soap opera Grand Hotel opposite Eva Longoria. 

In 2022, Lincoln spoke about having to transform his body to play a 1970s surfer in the ABC series, Barons.

In an interview with the Herald Sun, the actor revealed he had to slim down for the role.

'I had to lose a lot of weight and muscle - it was a different time back then. Bodies were very different, very lean,' he explained.

Lincoln said he was on a 'strict diet' while filming, and couldn't wait to indulge once he'd wrapped on the project.

'It was a strict diet and - without giving too much away - there's a significant vice Buddy falls victim to which meant even more body change,' he added.

'So, let's put it this way, I was very excited to eat a lot at the end of the series.'
