Our Bachelorette Angie Kent said it best when describing the gorgeous Carlin Sterritt: “He is one good looking sort!”
The hunky personal trainer just won Angie’s heart on this year’s season of The Bachelorette – and we can clearly see why.
He’s super hot, polite and doesn’t seem to be filled to the brim with much of the toxic masculinity we often see from the blokes cast on this show, thank goodness!
And Angie was super smitten with him from the get-go.
“Hot diggity damn,” Angie joked to a producer after meeting the runner-up in the Mr World Australia pageant in 2014 (yes, he really did that) on the red carpet.
“I’m Carlin, nice to meet you, a pleasure,'” the ever-polite Carlin said to Angie when they first met.

He’s an F45 trainer
Carlin is a Sydney-based PT.
(Credit: Facebook)The popular F45 gym franchise and hot guys go hand-in-hand, so it makes total sense that Carlin is an F45 PT.
If you want to get your IRL stalk on, you’ll find Carlin training clients at the F45 gym in Hurstville, in Sydney’s south.
And judging by the endless stream of delicious shirtless pics on his Instagram, Carlin walks the walk when it comes to preaching a healthy lifestyle, frequently posting photos of himself lifting heavy weights and showing off his six pack.

Carlin kept his acting career hidden from Angie, because he didn’t want her to doubt his intentions in being on the show. On their final date, he told her he hadn’t “done anything since like 2016” and had only been doing “a couple of commercials for money in the meantime.”
According to Carlin’s IMDb page, he’s had several roles in a few movies, including the Australian film Out of the Woods in 2018. And we found the trailer.
With about as much zest as he’s shown throughout this season of The Bachelorette, Carlin narrates the film’s teaser.
“They say your life flashes before your eyes before you die, I never imagined it would be true” he says, as images flash of him with his wife (played by Tahlia Jade) and child.
“If this is dying, the rhythm is far slower than expected. And all I am reduced to is regret. What could have been.”
The voice over plays as Carlin steps out in front of a car, and later runs through a mysterious dark forest, in the rain.
Honestly, it’s worth a watch:
Carlin also had a small part in Home and Away star Dan Ewing’s latest movie, Occupation, in the role of “alien soldier.”
He’s also had guest role appearance on NBC’s pilot season of CAMP in 2013, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and roles on Australian TV series The Strange Calls and Reef Doctors.
It’s no wonder Carlin’s been so comfortable in front of the cameras in the Bachelorette mansion
Carlin, is that you? Alien soldiers storm the world in Occupation.

During the second episode of the series, and a 24-hour date with Angie, Carlin dropped the “truth bomb” that he used to be married.
“I suppose I’ve been a little bit nervous coming into this experience because I’m super vulnerable with my story,” he admitted to Angie.
“I am the type of guy who wants to be open and transparent because there’s no other way to do it. I am married,” he said.
“In 2016, I got married. We’ve been apart for a year and a half. We’ve drifted apart you know and I was pretty hurt in the process. She’s moved overseas now and for me, I’ve closed that chapter of my life…So, we filed for divorce and stuff, but I suppose that was the last stage of that so it hasn’t been final yet.”
Angie didn’t take the news overly well … but after a chat later on, she realised he was there for her and he received the first kiss of the season.
Angie was a little shocked when she found out Carlin had been married before.
We did a little stalk on Carlin’s Instagram account and uncovered all these old photos of Carlin and his wife Taran Higgins – they were married in 2016 – and we are shook!

He’s a bit of an Instagram influencer
Most people go on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette to become an influencer and boost their social media profile, but Carlin already has quite the following on the ‘gram already – 27,000 followers to be exact.
Aside from glorious shirtless photos, Carlin’s feed is littered with sponsored posts, promoting companies such as YouFoodz, supplements brand Muscle Coach and cider brand Somersby.

So, what does Carlin thing about marriage?
“I’m not one to rush things if the compatibility needs to be explored more. I’m very open to the idea but won’t if I’m not ready,” he told Ten Daily.
We cannot wait to see how this pans out in tonight’s finale.
Here’s Carlin’s Instagram if you’d like to do a little stalking of your own.
The Bachelorette airs on Channel 10 on Wednesday and Thursday nights at 7.30pm.
