Aussie actor Ryan Kwanten has been keeping a low profile since he portrayed heartthrob sheriff deputy Jason Stackhouse in True Blood from 2008 to 2014.
However, on Wednesday, the Sydney-born actor, 47, was spotted filming his latest movie Primitive War on a jungle set just outside the Gold Coast in Queensland.
The former Home and Away hunk looked almost unrecognisable in the snaps, donning an army camouflage outfit and matching boots.
He looked every inch the action star in the eye-popping photos as he carried a prop machine gun and had a green beret army knife strapped to his waist.
His brunette hair was uncombed and stylishly mussed, adding an air of rugged authenticity to his character.
With a steely gaze and determined expression, Kwanten seemed to embody the essence of a seasoned warrior navigating the treacherous jungle terrain.
He was later spotted filming a scene with Lucifer star Tricia Helfer, 50, and Revenge actor Nick Wechsler, 45, and the trio looked like seasoned professionals as they navigated the challenging environment.
Primitive War is helmed by Bring Him to Me director Luke Sparke and is an adaptation of Ethan Pettus’ popular book series of the same name.
After starring in the hugely popular HBO series True Blood, Kwanten has dropped off the radar and almost entirely wiped his social media presence.
He was last spotted in public in 2022, when he enjoyed breakfast in the Sydney suburb of Manly with his family and fiancée Ashley Sisino after jetting in from Los Angeles.
The veteran actor had a boom in his career when he moved to LA following his stint on Home and Away, and landed on HBO‘s hit series True Blood from 2008 to 2014.
