When we first learnt of Married At First Sight groom Bryce Ruthven’s acting past, namely his time on beloved soap Home And Away, we immediately went into investigation mode.
Call us Benedict Cumberbatch because we went full Sherlock Holmes on this revelation.
Despite scouring the TV WEEK picture archives, which are extensive, and reaching out to the team at Channel Seven and Home And Away, we had no luck.
That was, until, we caught up with Bryce at Fitzy & Wippa’s MAFS Dinner Party in Sydney last night.
When we asked the radio-host-turned-reality-star if he had some snaps of his time in Summer Bay, he politely obliged our inquiries and sent them on to us.
So, without further ado, here is a baby-faced, 20-something-year-old Bryce on Home And Away with what he himself dubbed a questionable hairdo…
Reports of Bryce’s acting gigs first came via The Wash after they dug up the reality star’s LinkedIn profile listing his various on-screen experience.
According to a 2010 interview with The Morning Bulletin, Bryce had a guest role on Summer Bay playing Aden Jefferies’ (Todd Lasance) cousin.
“Soccer is my main priority at the moment, but if it doesn’t work out I will definitely keep pursuing acting,” a young 20-year-old Bryce told the outlet in 2010.
He also went on to add that he remained friends with many of his Summer Bay co-stars including Todd, Lincoln Lewis (Geoff Campbell) and David Roberts (Xavier Austin), which he again confirmed last night.
Despite telling the publication at the time he had every intention of pursuing a career in acting, the groom revealed to TV WEEK he’s now put that dream behind him and instead will be sticking to radio hosting.
