It comes after the very first Golden Bachelor was revealed.
Cameras have officially started rolling on the Channel Nine dating show for older, single romantics looking for a second shot at love.
Daily Mail Australia can exclusively reveal Barry ‘Bear’ Myrden, a 50-something infrastructure engineer and passionate sailor from Sydney, has been handpicked as the leading man for the upcoming Australian adaptation.
In exclusive pictures, Myrden was seen filming the show in Sydney on Wednesday.
He channelled James Bond as he piloted a retro Italian speedboat across the Harbour while dressed in a black tuxedo and matching bow tie.
Myrden, a father of three and a respected professional in the tech industry, currently works in Data Centre Management for Woolworths Group.
With decades of experience in his field, he has held senior roles at major companies like Macquarie Bank and the NSW Port Authority.
But while his career has flourished, sources close to Daily Mail Australia reveal that his personal journey has been marked by tragedy – Myrden is widowed.

‘Bear is always complaining that his boys are saying that he is bringing around the wrong kind of girls that are just too young and hot for him,’ one friend revealed.
‘We were always saying that he needs to be put on a show like MAFS, so seeing him up for the Bachelor role is no surprise.’
Despite his corporate background, Myrden is far from your typical office-bound executive.
A passionate sailor, he has competed in high-profile races like the Sydney to Hobart.
In one photo captured during one of his recent sailing ventures, Myrden looked handsome and rugged as he manned a yacht.
Unlike The Bachelor and The Bachelorette which feature young men and women, the Golden Bachelor is targeted at a more mature audience eager to watch how those who have already experienced great love and loss are chasing companionship in their next chapter.
‘Bear is not your usual reality TV type,’ an insider told Daily Mail Australia.
‘He’s charming, intelligent and has really lived a full life. He’s been through love, loss and now he’s ready to open his heart again. Women are going to adore him.’
Local fans of the The Golden Bachelor have been calling for an Australian version since the U.S. version premiered last year to critical acclaim

Producers are keeping tight-lipped about the contestants vying for Myrden’s heart, but if the U.S. series is anything to go by the show promises to deliver a mix of heartwarming moments, deep connections and unexpected twists.
In November, it was reported The Golden Bachelor has been scouting for contestants in a very unusual way.
A talent scout for the show was spotted handing out business cards to attendees at Royal Randwick racecourse in Sydney.
Casting agent Ivanna Tang opted for the unusual method of attempting to recruit racegoers to the upcoming spin-off show.
