He rose to fame as the beloved character of Nudge in the 90s sitcom Hey Dad!
And now actor Christopher Truswell has resurfaced in a promotional campaign for a life insurance policy aimed at over-60s.
In the 2025 ad called 'DIY 60', the famously cheeky actor plays a character called Gary who is building a backyard bar with his son.
Truswell, who turned 60 in January, still has his famously curly locks, but is barely recognisable from his comedy heyday.
Showing signs of a receding hairline and wearing a light beard, Truswell is costumed in blue jeans, a matching T-shirt and a flannelette shirt for his character.
'I like having all the right tools for the job, and now, after the big six-o, I want to make sure my lot gets looked after in case anything happens to me,' Truswell's character says.

In another scene, he calls the insurer and speaks to a call centre operator to get details about their policy.
Truswell's image is also featured on the Golden Insurance website in a promotion with the caption, 'Make your golden years shine with Golden Life Insurance.'
The serious nature of the commercial is a far cry from Truswell's time on Hey Dad!
Debuting on Channel Seven in 1987, the half-hour sitcom ran for a whopping 291 episodes before its last show aired in 1994.
Truswell's character of Gerald 'Nudge' Noritas became a fan favourite for his habit of helping himself to the food in his neighbour's fridge.
In the show, he played the best friend of Hey Dad!'s main character Martin (Robert Hughes), who is trying to raise his family after the death of his wife.
The show's cast also featured Julie McGregor, Paul Smith, Simone Buchanan and Sarah Monahan.
The English-born Truswell later featured on Seven's long-running medical drama All Saints from 2006-2007 and later scored roles on Packed to the Rafters (2008) and Underbelly (2010).
