Dave Hughes is embracing his silver fox era – and he’s not shy about it.
The 54-year-old comedian surprised fans on Saturday when he uploaded a shirtless beach selfie to Instagram, proudly showing off his lean physique while soaking up the sun on Byron Bay beach, ahead of his evening comedy show.
Grinning confidently in aviator sunglasses and beach shorts, Hughesy captioned the post with some amusing words: ‘Is it me or the rain that’s scared everyone off Byron Main Beach?’ – but it was the photo itself that stole the show.
He added a cheeky label over the photo, calling himself the ‘hottest and only guy on Byron Bay beach’ and, in true Hughesy style, threw in the cryptic hashtag #pregnantgreyhound.
Hughes looked impressively fit for 54, flaunting a lean torso and toned frame that left fans doing a double take.

Fans and fellow celebs quickly flooded the comments section with praise and banter, with comedian Joe White dropping fire emojis and one follower declaring: ‘Looking great! Enjoy’.
Hughes married his wife Holly on New Years Eve in 2006 and they share three children together: Rafferty, 15, Sadie, 13, and Tess, 11.
The comedian has had a challenging past year, as his long-running breakfast show Hughesy, Ed and Erin was axed from 2DayFM back in August.
2Day FM announced the axing of its trio of hosts on August 8, informing listeners that they opted to pull the plug on the show and replace it with night shift larrikins Jimmy Smith and Nath Roye, who were hosting The Jimmy and Nath Show.
The announcement came that evening with the embattled hosts given one more show the following morning to finish up – but they decided against going back on air.
‘We’ve loved our time together on 2DayFM Breakfast, however, due to some of our families living in different cities we are unable to commit to 2025,’ Hughsey, Ed and Erin said in a statement.
‘So with a heavy heart we are moving aside so 2DayFM can find the team to take them forward in Breakfast.’
The program, hosted by Dave, Ed Kavalee and Erin Molan, managed a mere 3.6 market share in the last ratings survey.

Millions of dollars were reportedly shelled out to salvage the long-running radio program, but nothing was able to be done to keep the show on the airwaves.
According to radio insiders, the departure was a ‘long time coming’ for the trio and their plummeting ratings was the ‘final nail in the coffin’.
‘Southern Cross Austereo have spent millions trying to make this show a success, including having Hughesy relocate from Melbourne to try “connect” with Sydney listeners. It’s always struggled to find an audience,’ an insider told Yahoo Lifestyle.
SCA went on to thank the radio hosts for their ‘passion and commitment’ following the announcement.
‘We are incredibly thankful to Hughesy, Ed and Erin for their unwavering dedication in making the 2DayFM Breakfast show a fun way to wake up Sydney each morning since 2020. We wish them the best,’ said SCA Chief Content Officer, Dave Cameron.
