Jason Donovan, 54, displays his fit physique as he soaks up in the sun at Bondi Beach
Jason Donovan showed off his toned physique when he was spotted on Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Friday.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, 54, went shirtless when he was caught strolling past the popular Australian tourist spot.
The singer looked on top form as he donned black shorts and Nike sneakers for the beach look.
He wore a black backpack on his shoulders and a white T-shirt around his neck, as well as two sunglasses in his hands.
The Neighbors star painted his nails black and passed the time by listening to something on his AirPods.

It comes right after Jason broke his silence about Amazon reviving Neighbors just months after the soap was axed and he filmed a special finale with his former co-star, Kylie Minogue.
The show’s biggest stars returned for the so-called finale, which will air in October 2022.
It was reported earlier this month that Kylie – whose career took off when she played mechanic Charlene Robinson between 1986 and 1988 – felt “cheated” into going back.
Speaking with Katie Richie on Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa, Jason said it was surprising the show was revived so quickly, but he’s happy for the crew who kept their jobs.
“I’ll be honest with you, it was a surprise,” he said.
“But … I think about anything that has the ability to keep people employed and actors and producers and all that sort of thing.”
Jason, who played Scott Robinson in the iconic soap, married Kylie’s character Charlene Mitchell onscreen and the actors later developed a relationship offscreen.
Their relationship, which lasted three years, was highly publicized and many Neighbors fans were extremely excited to see the two together on screen again.

When asked what it was like to work with Kylie again, Jason said, “It’s beautiful. It is awesome. Obviously, Kylie and I were a big part of that story.
But a lot has happened since then. What I will say is that nostalgia is huge right now.
“I think what happened and the group of people there was a chemistry. Something magical was happening.’
The West End actor was then asked what his first kiss with Kylie’s was like, but laughed and admitted he can’t remember.
“I’ll be honest, I don’t really remember,” he said.
“There was a huge fusion between the characters on the show at the time and I think it was really a Scott and Charlene moment, right, not Jason and Kylie one no.”
Guy Pearce, who played Mike Young in Neighbours, expressed his feelings at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television awards last December that he was unhappy with how the reunion turned out.
“It’s hard to watch, don’t you think? Knowing we’ll never see an episode again,” he said, as part of a tribute to the show on the night.
A painful reminder that the things we love can be snatched away, never to return…unless Amazon steps in to save the day and make our finale look like a rather expensive exercise.
‘I don’t want to say it [it was a] waste of time. But still, I’m sure Margot [Robbie] will be happy.’
Hollywood star Margot, who got her start by appearing as Donna Freedman on the show, did not return to Australia to film the reunion, but was instead featured in a 14-second video message from Los Angeles.
