Whatever happened to Beau Brady? Home and Away star and Bec Hewitt’s ex drops off the radar and changes his name after shock coke bust

Beau Brady shot to fame in the early 2000s when he starred in the iconic Channel Seven soap Home and Away as Noah Lawson from 2000 to 2004.

But the 42-year-old actor and ex-lover of tennis WAG Bec Hewitt has dropped off the radar and now lives a more private lifestyle after stepping away from the small screen.

According to his IMDB profile, Beau had an acting career that spanned two decades, with a recent credit being a supporting role in the 2021 Australian horror film Wyrmwood: Apocalypse.

But his roles became less prominent after he was busted with a bag of cocaine at an exclusive Sydney bar in 2017.

That same year, Beau shifted from appearing on prime time TV to appearing on the ads in between.

The former star’s commercial role lacked the prestige of his earlier work and saw him feature in a family-friendly commercial for Webber BBQs.

In the ad, Beau stood at a barbeque while the chaos of children fighting in the yard and his neighbour mowing the lawn blaring behind him.

It was a notable step down for the actor, who was once earning Logie nominations for his role on Home and Away.

It was his first paid acting gig since being caught with cocaine at Jam Gallery bar in Bondi Junction. He was slapped with a good behaviour bond in August 2017.

He pleaded guilty to possessing the drug after he was searched by police during the incident, which took place in June, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Beau was sitting with a friend at the popular bar, when he saw police enter the premises with a drug detection dog, according to court documents.

One year later, in 2018, Beau decided to turn his life around by enlisting in the Australian Army Reserve.

Before her relationship with husband Lleyton, Bec Hewitt was engaged to Beau.

The blonde beauty called off their engagement in 2004 before swiftly moving on with the Aussie tennis star.
