Fans were stunned to see Aussie TV legend Martin Sacks looking almost unrecognisable at Byron Bay beach. The 65-year-old Blue Heelers star, once adored by millions as P.J. Hasham, enjoyed a quiet swim and relaxed moment under the sun.
Wearing black shorts and a short haircut, Martin looked worlds away from his famous on-screen days. “He still has that calm, down-to-earth charm,” one beachgoer said. The actor has recently joined Netflix’s new Australian drama The Survivors, based on Jane Harper’s bestselling novel.
Sacks became a household name in Blue Heelers, winning five Silver Logies and starring alongside Lisa McCune. He later appeared in Wentworth, Underbelly, and Offspring, cementing his place as one of Australia’s most versatile actors.
After decades on screen, his rare public outing reminded fans why they loved him. As one admirer put it, “He’s proof that real talent never fades.” Martin’s quiet beach moment was a gentle nod to a career built on heart, depth, and enduring Australian charm.
