Elsa Pataky’s younger half-brother Cristian Prieto is looking to follow in his glamorous sister’s footsteps by making a mark in showbusiness.
On Wednesday, the hunky 32-year-old was spotted in Queensland working on the set of Oscar winning director Ron Howard’s latest movie Eden.
Cristian rocked a laidback look in a navy t-shirt which he paired with black jeans and sneakers.
The Spanish native accessorised with a ring on his finger, had a pair of sunglasses tucked into the neck of his shirt and sported a rugged five o’clock shadow.
He wore his long brunette hair tied in a bun and carried a camera in one hand as he closely followed Howard, 69, around the coastal shore set.
