“An Australian actor looked completely unrecognisable as he stepped out for a New York premiere for his very famous pop star step-daughter.”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
The 55-year old looked worlds away from his trademark clean cut look as he was spotted arriving at New York’s Beacon Hotel on Saturday.
He recently tied the knot with the world-famous American pop star’s mother, with their union making headlines at the time.
Away from his romantic life, he also got his start on Australian screens with a brief stint as a policeman on long running soap Home And Away.
After turns in such shows as Raw FM, Heartbreak High, and Water Rats, he headed stateside where he landed one of his best known roles in a top prison drama.

He appeared in five seasons of the popular Fox series and picked up the international award for best actor for the role at the 2007 AACTA awards.
But do you recognise who this Australian actor is?
It’s none other than Dominic Purcell, who stepped out to support step-daughter Miley Cyrus at the premiere of her visual album Something Beautiful on day three of the Tribeca Film Festival.
Dominic’s new look was a far cry from his Prison Break days, with the actor sporting a neatly trimmed salt and pepper beard.
His trademark buzzcut had also been swapped for a neatly cropped ‘do’ that suited the actor to a tee.
He cut quite the stylish figure in a dark grey Western-tinged jacket that featured leather embellishments on the collar, shoulders and pockets.
He wore this over a black V-neck T-shirt that clung to his chiselled frame.
Dominic finished his red carpet look with a pair of plain black jeans and a pair of very well-worn black leather boots.
Dominic arrived with wife Tish Cyrus, 58, who cut a very stylish figure in a form-fitting sequined off-the-shoulder jumpsuit.
Miley, meanwhile was the epitome of glamour, arriving in a dazzling gold gown with boyfriend Maxx Morando on her arm.
Her strapless, embellished gown perfectly hugged her curves, with the star adding to the glam with her showstopping locks, which were styled in voluminous waves.
The couple looked happier than ever as they held each other close while walking through the crowds.
Dominic also recently posted a black and white snap of himself to Instagram.
Fans branded the star as ‘unrecognisable’ as he was sporting a long, white beard and moustache.
His new look appears to be more recent, as the actor was still clean-shaven at his 2023 wedding.
Prison Break viewers were quick to rush to the comment section to discuss his drastic change in appearance.
OMG! Santa Claus is in the house,’ one fan joked.
‘For a second, I didn’t recognise you,’ another commented, while a third wrote, ‘Bro, you are unrecognisable.’
‘He looks like a different man. Still [fire],’yet another shared.
Dominic tied the knot with Tish Cyrus back in 2023, in a romantic ceremony following her divorce from her husband of 28 years Billy Ray.
While some family members such as daughter Miley were present for the August wedding, Tish’s kids Noah and Braison were absent from the nuptials – fuelling speculation of a rift at the time.
According to a DailyMail.com insider, Noah’s absence at the wedding was not by choice, but the result of Tish failing to invite her.
Us Weekly then published a report claiming Tish, had ‘stolen’ Dominic from Noah, 24, who was said to be ‘seeing’ the actor when her mother began to pursue him.
‘Noah has always craved the attention because she did not get it growing up. Tish was always so Miley-sided because that is where the money was,’ the source claimed.
‘Miley and Tish are like sisters and Noah has always been envious of this because she’s never had a connection with Tish like Miley has.’
However, it was then claimed that Noah ‘never dated’ Dominic and she was accused by family insiders of ‘fabricating’ the relationship to ‘paint herself as the victim’ in her ongoing feud with Tish.
