Lincoln Younes has debuted a new look.

The Home and Away star, 32, took to Instagram on Sunday to announce he was back in Australia with a picture of himself.

And as he shared the selfie while on a ferry on Sydney Harbour, the actor revealed he had shifted from his previous clean cut look to a more rugged style.

Lincoln wore his dark beard much longer than usual, and kept his long hair under a baseball cap.

The actor, who was recently in Switzerland to collaborate with watch brand Hublot, gave a slight smile as the sunlight highlighted his much shaggier facial hair.

In the caption to the picture, Lincoln wrote, ‘Home… with an extra long beard.

Fans in the comments welcomed the soap star back Down Under.

‘Welcome home darling,’ wrote one enthusiastic commenter.

‘Lebanese men are born with a beard,’ wrote another, making a lighthearted joke about Lincoln’s ethnicity.

‘Looking mighty fine there mate,’ wrote one more.

Seeing Lincoln’s selfie was taken on the water, another commenter joked about the actor’s method of returning home, writing ‘You come by boat???’

Lincoln started his career playing Romeo Kovac in Showcase drama series Tangle before scoring a starring role on Home and Away as Casey Braxton.

These days he enjoys a successful career, recently appearing in Last King of the Cross.

The series was recently renewed for a second season.

He also has a feature role in the Stan Original series CAUGH*T starring alongside Hollywood star Sean Penn, Ben O’Toole and Alexander England.
