Australian actor Josh Lawson looks unrecognisable with a bushy beard and cuts a lonely figure while walking his dog on the Gold Coast amid ‘daddy dom’ cheating scandal
Australian actor Josh Lawson made a solemn figure on Sunday when he took his dog for a walk on the Gold Coast in the wake of his shocking scandal.
Last month, Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed that Lawson had stringed on a lovelorn influencer for a year after sparking a holiday romance in Bali and introducing her to his ‘daddy dom’ fetish. Her heart broke when she found out he already had a long-term partner, Rebecca Moore.
On his lonely day out, the Mortal Kombat star, 42, looked unrecognizable with a very bushy beard.
He dressed casually for the outing in blue shorts, a white T-shirt and sneakers.
At one point, he engaged in a long, intense 40-minute photo conversation.

Lawson has kept a low profile since his cheating scandal with a social media influencer named Fina came to light.
Fina, who is from Brunei and lives in London, met Lawson on the resort island while leaving after her divorce.
She told Daily Mail Australia how she first matched with the Mortal Kombat actor on celebrity dating app Raya in May 2022.

They met in Bali in August of that year while she was on vacation there.
The couple’s relationship quickly blossomed and soon Lawson introduced her to his kink, asking her to call him “daddy” while he called her “little girl.”
Fina admits she had never heard of the House of Lies actor before they met, but noticed tourists recognizing him.

After their vacation in paradise came to an end, Fina and Lawson stayed in touch, regularly sending each other photos and sweet texts — but it was all part of his elaborate “web of lies,” she claims.
The posts included shirtless photos of Lawson in bed and the actor claiming their romance was “more than a holiday fling.”
In one post, he wrote, “From the moment I saw you in Bali, I knew something was up. I just felt instantly connected to you. And when our bodies touched, Daddy found his little girl.”

He later confessed that he was new to the “daddy dom” fetish, but said he was “surprised how much it turned him on.”
Lawson regularly made promises that he would meet Fina again, she claims, but these plans never materialized.
Fina finally messaged Lawson’s girlfriend Rebecca Moore after realizing she had been tricked.
Daily Mail Australia has seen messages Lawson has sent to Fina launching plans to meet at the Cannes Film Festival and in New York. She also claims he talked about flying to London from his Gold Coast home.

It was only after these plans kept falling apart – almost a year after their holiday fling – that Fina realized something wasn’t right.
She told Daily Mail Australia how her heart sank when she realized Lawson was already in a long-term relationship, after doing some searching on Instagram.
It was all a web of lies. I was so consumed with what he promised me. It was all so super deceptive,” she said.
Lawson sent Fina pictures that suggested he had feelings for her
Fina said she loved Lawson so much she was exploring careers in Australia so they could get closer — and that she felt he could be “the next person in her life” after her six-year marriage ends in early 2022 ended up.
The social media influencer added that Lawson was “super into” his “daddy dom” fetish and she didn’t mind agreeing.
