Over the years Home and Away has shocked us with unmissable dramas, jaw-dropping twists, and shocking deaths.
There is no denying that the show’s writers have kept us on our toes but, we think the casting team deserves a long-overdue shoutout.
Through their tireless work and eye for beauty, they have gifted us with the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Heath Ledger, and Ryan Kwanten – and frankly, we haven’t felt hydrated since.
With their deep tans, sharp jaws, tattoos, and megawatt smiles, the men of Home and Away are a handsome bunch. And don’t even get us started on the ab count – it’s like Ancient Greek sculptors carved them!
Although it’s no longer considered necessary to find a slab of marble to chip away at in hopes of carving out a look-alike Lincoln Lewis, we’re lucky these IRL Adonises are immortalised via Home and Away’s extensive archive of footage.
So set the mood with a candle and a glass of red wine and indulge in our round-up of the hottest actors to ever grace the iconic Aussie soap.
Chris Hemsworth

Speaking of the gods! Thor, aka Chris, started his lucrative career on Summer Bay before the Americans got their hands on him.
