It looks like Vince Colosimo is making a fresh start.
The Australian actor was spotted on Saturday moving into a new home with the help of a girlfriend.
The 57-year-old arrived at the Melbourne address in a truck and was seen unloading items from the back while his mate helped him.
The handyman also did some work on the property, at one point cleaning a wooden panel using power tools.
Vince looked healthy. He was wearing a loose shirt and flared jeans that were covered in paint. He also wore black sneakers.
He walked in and out of the truck several times before getting started on what appeared to be minor renovations.
It appears the Underbelly actor is back on track after facing legal troubles last year.
In October, Vince revealed that he was bullied as a child after landing a role as a teen star on television.

He spoke at an anti-bullying event, his first public appearance since avoiding jail last August after he was fined $61,000 and admitted to drug-driving.
The Chopper star told the audience that he was a victim of ‘tall poppy syndrome’.
Colosimo said he received “a lot of trash at school” from other students and children in Melbourne’s Carlton North after appearing as Gino in the popular series Moving Out.
The bullying started with “derogatory comments” from others in the neighborhood and then evolved to comments from complete strangers.

He was spared jail time last August after racking up $61,000 in traffic fines and admitting to driving under the influence of drugs.
“When I went out, a lot of people asked, ‘Do you know who you are?’” he told the audience in a segment aired on A Current Affair.
“No matter where you went, you were always the center of attention, and sometimes for all the wrong reasons.”
He said people have “preconceptions about who you are and where you’ve been.”
“It happens to me a lot and I’ve dealt with it, but you know, it could have wiped me out. It could have stopped me from doing what I was doing,” Colosimo told the crowd.

Vince had previously appeared in Melbourne District Court in July last year after failing to pay $61,858 in fines
The court heard that Colosimo claimed he had suffered the horrific effects of methamphetamine during his offending, which dates back to 2012
He also gave advice to people who struggle to cope with life’s challenges.
“I think it’s all about who you surround yourself with… I had some really good friends and my brother and I kept our feet on the ground,” he said.
Since then, Colosimo has focused on teaching acting in Melbourne and is working on a documentary for the organization Bully Zero.
Vince previously appeared in court in Melbourne in July last year after failing to pay a $61,858 fine.
He avoided a prison sentence after convincing a magistrate that long-term use of the drug had left him mentally ill, broke and on the verge of homelessness.
Guillaume Bailin ruled that Colosimo was able to perform 101 hours of unpaid community service over the next year, meaning Colosimo would not have to pay $58,000

He avoided a prison sentence after convincing a judge that long-term drug use had left him mentally ill, broke and on the verge of homelessness.
Under a payment plan, Colosimo was supposed to work one hour for every $40 he owed, or about 64 full days of work, 24 hours a day.
However, Guillaume Bailin ruled that Colosimo was able to perform 101 hours of unpaid community service over the next year, meaning Colosimo would not have to pay $58,000.
