Vince Colosimo appears to be having a fresh start.
The Australian actor was spotted moving into a new home with the help of a female friend on Saturday.
The 57-year-old arrived at the Melbourne address with a truck and was seen unloading items from the back while his mate gave him a hand.
The handy star also did some work around the property, at one stage using a power tool on a wood panel.
Vince looked in good health, wearing a loose shirt and wide leg jeans that were splattered with paint, as well as black sneakers.
He came and went from the truck several times before getting to work on what appeared to be minor renovations.
It seems the Underbelly actor is getting back on track after he suffered legal woes last year.
In October, Vince revealed he was bullied growing up after starring as a teenage heartthrob on TV.

He spoke at an anti-bullying event in his first public appearance since being spared jail in August last year after racking up $61,000 in traffic fines and admitting to driving while under the influence of the drug ice.
The Chopper star told those in the audience he had been a victim of ‘tall poppy syndrome’.
Colosimo said he got ‘a lot of s*** at school’ from other students and kids in Melbourne’s Carlton North after appearing as Gino in the hit show Moving Out.
The bullying had started with ‘put downs’ from others in his neighbourhood and then evolved into comments from total strangers.

‘When I went out I got a lot of (people saying) “Do you know who you are?”,’ he told the crowd in a clip aired on A Current Affair.
‘It doesn’t matter where you went you were the centre of attention, and sometimes for the wrong reasons.’
He said people have ‘preconceptions of who you are and where you’ve been’.
‘It happens a lot to me and I dealt with it but you know, it could’ve wiped me out. It could’ve stopped me doing what I was doing,’ Colosimo told the crowd.

Vince had previously fronted the Melbourne Magistrates Court in July last year after failing to pay $61,858 in fines
The court heard Colosimo claimed he had suffered from the hideous affect of methamphetamine for the duration of his offending, which dates back to 2012
He also shared a piece of advice to those struggling to deal with life’s challenges.
‘I think it’s who you surround yourself with… I had some really great mates and my brother and I kept two feet on the ground,’ he said.
Colosimo has since turned his attention to teaching acting classes in Melbourne while working on a documentary with the Bully Zero organisation.

Under any payment plan, Colosimo would have had to have worked one hour for every $40 he owed – about 64 full days working 24-hours a day.
However, Guillaume Bailin ordered Colosimo was capable of performing 101 hours of unpaid community work over the next year, meaning Colosimo got out of paying $58,000.
