The Mentalist star has not shaved his beard off however, and was seen sporting more than a five o’clock shadow as he collected a table for his new $6m Bondi home in Randwick, Sydney.

Simon showed off his strength as he picked the piece of furniture up and carried it above his head. 

He dressed casually for his day of errands, sporting a pair of corduroy jeans teamed with a pale green sweater and trainers. 

He shaded his eyes with a pair of dark sunglasses and carried a cup of coffee for a little pick me up. 

Simon has been spotted several times at Bondi Beach in the last few weeks after he purchased a $6million home in the popular area.

According to The Daily Telegraph, he bought the three-bedroom cottage after it was offered for sale by social commentator Ruth Ostrow.

The property, which also contains three bathrooms, is set in lush tropical gardens and boasts ocean views from the loft office space.

There is an idyllic patio area for Simon to entertain guests, while interiors take on a neutral colour palette with polished wooden floorboards, whitewashed walls, high ceilings and timber accents.

The reported purchase comes after Simon and his ex-wife Rebecca Rigg, 54, reportedly sold their three-bedroom home in Bronte, Sydney, for almost $17million.

The former couple shocked property watchers with the lucrative sale, especially given they purchased the home for just $6.5million back in 2015.

Simon and Rebecca, who announced their separation in January last year after 29 years of marriage, were said to be ‘quietly shopping’ the property before a buyer was confirmed.

Boasting sweeping ocean views and located in one of Sydney’s most sought-after suburbs – the former Baker residence offers the ultimate in coastal living.

A number of images were listed by CoreLogic following the sale in 2015, with reports revealing the pair made no major improvements on the property after acquiring it.

Simon and Rebecca announced their split on January 29 last year.

They told People in a joint statement, ‘We remain close friends and our three children will always be the most important focus of our lives.’

But according to Fox News, they actually separated nine months beforehand in April 2020.

Simon first met Rebecca in the early ’90s and tied the knot in 1998 after five years of living together.

They share three children together, Stella, 28, Claude, 23, and Harry, 20.

Rebecca is best known for her roles in moves Fatty Finn and Ellie Parker, and also had a minor role alongside Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire.

Simon found success on TV shows such as The Mentalist and The Guardian, as well as movies like The Devil Wears Prada.
