NEIGHBOURS heartthrob Dan Falzon looks unrecognisable 28 years after his role in the soap.
50-year-old Dan may have been a heartthrob in the Aussie show, but he's since quit acting for 'normal job'.
Nearly three decades after playing young tearaway Rick Alessi, the Maltese star now works in eco tourism - and previously qualified as a paramedic with St. John Ambulance.
Dan might have secured a nomination for Most Popular Actor at the 1st National Television Awards, but he said goodbye to Ramsay Street in 1995.
He said at the time: "I had a phenomenal run on the show and leaving was a big decision to make but there comes a time when you know that it's finally right."

After training in healthcare, Dan shared his skills in the 2014 Nine Network docuseries, Outback Paramedic.
He also started an alternative rock band called Milk in 1997 with his brother Tom, only to quit after releasing just one single, and had a short stint as an environmental YouTuber in 2008.
Now, he's the managing director of operations at Earth Sanctuary, an eco-tourism and astronomy business.
Tom, as well as his sibling Ben and dad Joe, are members of the team too, and ever-busy Dan gives tours to visitors as a Senior Adventure Guide.
The brothers said: “We have built the business up to offer award – winning day and evening tours to visitors to the central Australian outback.
"Our vision is to be Australia’s leading provider of 100% carbon – neutral education, tours and events."
Dan is a father too, sharing daughter Alana with his wife Alana.
