Neighbours star Alan Fletcher enjoys the Australian Open

He set pulses racing when he shared a throwback photo of himself in speedos last month. 

But Neighbours star Alan Fletcher cut a more low key figure on Tuesday night as he attended the Australian Open at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. 

The 60-year-old wore glasses and appeared happy and relaxed as he chatted to Australian Survivor stars Samantha Gash and Mark Wales.

Sitting next to Alan was Australian Survivor couple Samantha Gash and Mark Wales, who became romantically involved after cameras stopped rolling last year.

The genetically-blessed pair confirmed they were expecting their first child together in November.

Alan’s appearance at the Australian Open comes after a throwback photo of him at the beach went viral last month.

In December Neighbours star Matt Wilson shared a side by side comparison of him and a young Alan in speedos at the beach.

The veteran soap star sported a muscular physique complete with six pack causing commenters to swoon about how ‘ripped’ and ‘shredded’ he was.

‘It was taken when I was Matty’s age. When Matty saw it he said, ‘Send it to me!’” Alan told news.com.au. 

When asked who had the better beach body Alan said there was ‘no question’ that it was Matt. 

‘He’s obviously a very fit young guy. I’m the amateur in that competition. But I did take the opportunity to gently warn Matty that while he’s in spectacular shape now, if he doesn’t look after himself he’ll end up looking like me,’ he added.
