Guess who! Aussie actor looks unrecognisable as he steps out for VERY famous pop star step-daughter's New York premiere
An Australian actor looked completely unrecognisable as he stepped out for a New York premiere for his very famous pop star step-daughter.
The 55-year old looked worlds away from his trademark clean cut look as he was spotted arriving at New York's Beacon Hotel on Saturday.
He recently tied the knot with the world-famous American pop star's mother, with their union making headlines at the time.
Away from his romantic life, he also got his start on Australian screens with a brief stint as a policeman on long running soap Home And Away.
After turns in such shows as Raw FM, Heartbreak High, and Water Rats, he headed stateside where he landed one of his best known roles in a top prison drama.
From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop.
He appeared in five seasons of the popular Fox series and picked up the international award for best actor for the role at the 2007 AACTA awards.
But do you recognise who this Australian actor is?
It's none other than Dominic Purcell, who stepped out to support step-daughter Miley Cyrus at the premiere of her visual album Something Beautiful on day three of the Tribeca Film Festival.
Dominic's new look was a far cry from his Prison Break days, with the actor sporting a neatly trimmed salt and pepper beard.
His trademark buzzcut had also been swapped for a neatly cropped 'do' that suited the actor to a tee.
He cut quite the stylish figure in a dark grey Western-tinged jacket that featured leather embellishments on the collar, shoulders and pockets.
He wore this over a black V-neck T-shirt that clung to his chiselled frame.
Dominic finished his red carpet look with a pair of plain black jeans and a pair of very well-worn black leather boots.
Dominic arrived with wife Tish Cyrus, 58, who cut a very stylish figure in a form-fitting sequined off-the-shoulder jumpsuit.
Miley, meanwhile was the epitome of glamour, arriving in a dazzling gold gown with boyfriend Maxx Morando on her arm.
Her strapless, embellished gown perfectly hugged her curves, with the star adding to the glam with her showstopping locks, which were styled in voluminous waves.
The couple looked happier than ever as they held each other close while walking through the crowds.
Dominic also recently posted a black and white snap of himself to Instagram.
Fans branded the star as 'unrecognisable' as he was sporting a long, white beard and moustache.
His new look appears to be more recent, as the actor was still clean-shaven at his 2023 wedding.
Prison Break viewers were quick to rush to the comment section to discuss his drastic change in appearance.
OMG! Santa Claus is in the house,' one fan joked.
'For a second, I didn't recognise you,' another commented, while a third wrote, 'Bro, you are unrecognisable.'
'He looks like a different man. Still [fire],'yet another shared.
Dominic tied the knot with Tish Cyrus back in 2023, in a romantic ceremony following her divorce from her husband of 28 years Billy Ray.
While some family members such as daughter Miley were present for the August wedding, Tish's kids Noah and Braison were absent from the nuptials - fuelling speculation of a rift at the time.
According to a DailyMail.com insider, Noah's absence at the wedding was not by choice, but the result of Tish failing to invite her.
Us Weekly then published a report claiming Tish, had 'stolen' Dominic from Noah, 24, who was said to be 'seeing' the actor when her mother began to pursue him.
'Noah has always craved the attention because she did not get it growing up. Tish was always so Miley-sided because that is where the money was,' the source claimed.
'Miley and Tish are like sisters and Noah has always been envious of this because she's never had a connection with Tish like Miley has.'
However, it was then claimed that Noah 'never dated' Dominic and she was accused by family insiders of 'fabricating' the relationship to 'paint herself as the victim' in her ongoing feud with Tish.

BREAKING NEWS Atlantic Starr singer Wayne Lewis dies at 68 as tributes pour in for R&B legend
Wayne Lewis of the legendary R&B band Atlantic Starr has died. The singer, songwriter, and co-founding member of the group was 68. The band announced his passing in a heartfelt Facebook post on June 6, writing: 'It's with great sadness we have to post the passing of Wayne Lewis on June 5, 2025. 'Please keep the family in your prayers and respect their privacy. #waynelewis #restinpeace #flyhigh Sunrise 4/13/1957 Sunset 6/5/2025 #restinpeaceWayne.' A cause of death has not yet been revealed. Lewis was a driving force behind Atlantic Starr, a New York-based group formed in the mid-1970s with his brothers David and Jonathan Lewis. The band rose to fame in the '80s with their signature blend of smooth soul, R&B, and pop — becoming staples on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts. Wayne Lewis served as both lead vocalist and keyboardist, contributing to some of the band's biggest hits, including Always, Secret Lovers, Circles, Silver Shadow, and Masterpiece. Their 1987 ballad Always hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a wedding anthem for a generation. Tributes have poured in across social media. 'A great songwriter. Atlantic Star was better once he became leader. He will be missed,' one fan wrote. Another praised him as 'a great songwriter' and 'an icon of soulful love songs.' Yet another added, 'Omg I'm devastated. I was looking forward to seeing them perform this Sunday at Capital Jazz Festival. My condolences.' Wayne co-founded Atlantic Starr in 1976 in White Plains, New York, alongside his brothers David and Jonathan Lewis, originally forming the band under the name Newban before changing it ahead of their first major label signing.

EXCLUSIVE Kylie Jenner's BFF Stassie nearly spills out of plunging dress after admitting to plastic surgery regrets
Kylie Jenner 's best friend made quite the appearance at a recent event in Los Angeles. Anastasia 'Stassie' Karanikolaou, 27, who has admitted to regretting some plastic surgery procedures, put on a busty display as she helped celebrate the grand opening of the Oh Polly store on Friday. The Better Half podcast host showed off her curves, modeling a pale pink strappy sequined mini-dress with a plunging neckline. Her toned legs looked even longer with help from some nude high heel sandals. The social media star wore natural-looking, camera-ready makeup with a neutral red lip. Her long, dark hair was styled straight and she kept her accessories simple, opting for a thin gold bracelet and gold hoop earrings. She attended the event with fellow influencer and friend Victoria Villarroel, 33. The Grown-ish actress turned up the heat wearing a black strapless sequined dress with a tuxedo jacket. The model stepped out in transparent high heel mules. Her long, dark hair was styled straight and she accentuated her camera-ready makeup with a soft red lip. Karanikolaou recently confirmed that she had undergone a Brazilian Butt Lift several years ago while making an appearance on Bravo Bri's podcast in mid-May. A BBL, as it's known, removes a patient's fat from their torso, hips or legs which is then implanted in the buttocks area for a more full derriere. 'I don't have a** implants and I don't think it's anything I can hide at this point, yes I have a BBL. I moved fat around,' she explained. She also admitted to getting a breast augmentation. 'Obviously I got this done super young. It's something that I regret and I think that's why it's been so hard to talk about for so long,' she explained. At the time, Karanikolaou revealed she was planning on making a modification to her BBL to 'reduce the size of it a little more,' as she wants to have a more natural appearance overall. The model, who apparently had the surgery in her late teens, explained the pressure she felt to modify her body at the time. 'But I just feel like I was at a point in my life when I was younger and I felt like my lips needed to be big, my boobs needed to be big. Everything ... my butt needed to be big,' she said of her mindset.

'80s icon reveals bizarre moment he and Caitlyn Jenner were told to 'stuff their shorts with socks' for film
One of the biggest stars of the 1980s is looking back on a bizarre moment he and Caitlyn Jenner shared on set. Steve Guttenberg — who rose to stardom with roles in hits including Diner (1982), Police Academy (1984), Cocoon (1985) and Three Men And A Baby (1987) — recalled how he and Jenner, 75, got an unusual request when they were filming the 1980 film Can't Stop The Music. The 66-year-old actor said he and the Olympic decathlete — who was making her film debut — were asked to 'stuff' their shorts with socks in order to give them more prominent bulges, according to Page Six. 'I did wear really skimpy shorts,' he explained to the publication earlier this week. Guttenberg said that it was a request from Allan Carr, who co-wrote and produced the film, that he and Jenner 'stuff our shorts with socks to make it look a little bigger.' 'We didn't need it by the way. I mean I told Alan, "No need for a sock!"' Guttenberg recalled joking. Despite the attempt to make Guttenberg and Jenner appear more virile, Can't Stop The Music ended up being a box office flop and a critical bomb. The disco musical was a biography charting the rise of The Village People — though it was fictional — and featured Guttenberg as a very loose stand-in for the group's co-creator, the French songwriter and record producer Jacques Morali. Jenner, who came out as a transgender woman in 2015, played a lawyer who confusingly found himself swept up in the creation of the Village People, leading him to quit his job after his firm refuses to represent the burgeoning disco group. Carr, the same person who allegedly convinced Guttenberg and Jenner to stuff their shorts on set, saw the film as a star-making vehicle for the Olympic gold medalist, and in 1979 he told the New York Times that Can't Stop The Music would make Jenner 'the Robert Redford of the '80s.' But following the critical and commercial failure of the cult camp film, Jenner's acting work was confined to television appearances, and she didn't appear again in a feature film until 2011's critically reviled comedy Jack And Jill, which starred Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes and Al Pacino. Guttenberg, who also spoke about his career heights to Page Six, warned that actors need to be wary of developing too much of an ego, 'because it's a very fragile business and you cannot believe what you see.' 'You're very important today, and tomorrow nobody knows who you are,' he said. He said he had tried to be 'level-headed' about the hot-and-cold nature of Hollywood, where success is reward but failure can lead actors to quickly be dumped. Guttenberg's most recent project is the Lifetime movie Kidnapped By A Killer, in which he plays John Edward Robinson, who is the first serial killer reported to have used the internet to connect him with his victims. Robinson, who admitted to committing multiple murders, is currently serving multiple life sentences from a trial in Missouri and is on death row after being convicted of three murders in Kansas. Guttenberg said he put in 'a ton of research' to play the convicted killer. 'I thought it was an incredible opportunity, because to play a serial killer, most actors, you get one chance in your whole life to play a serial killer and this is a good one,' he said. He added that he was confined to a makeup chair for an hour and a half every day of shooting to achieve Robinson's distinctive look, and he was even forced to put on weight to look more like the convicted killer. 'It was great,' the Three Men And A Baby star joked. '[I ate] ice cream, pasta, that part was really fun.' Guttenberg gained renewed attention earlier this year when he helped his neighbors evacuate Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades neighborhood when deadly fires swept through the city in January. His own $5 million Palisades home was ultimately spared, but it suffered 'terrible smoke damage.' 'Everything needs to be replaced,' he said, and the job will likely take a full year. In the meantime, Guttenberg has been living across the country in New York while his West Coast home is repaired. The temporary move overlapped with the end of the Cocoon star's marriage, as he filed to divorce his wife-of-six-years Emily Smith in April. They had been together since at least 2014 and tied the knot in 2019. Guttenberg was previously married to the model Denise Bixler from 1988 until their 1991 separation. They divorced the following year.
