Australian actor Josh Lawson cut a serious figure on Sunday while walking his dog in the Gold Coast following his shocking cheating scandal.
Last month, Chron Australia exclusively revealed Lawson had a lovestruck influencer by his side for a year after sparking a holiday romance in Bali and introducing her to his “daddy dom” fetish -year-old partner, Rebecca Moore.
During his lonely day outside, the 42-year-old Mortal Kombat star looked unrecognizable with his very bushy beard.
He dressed casually for the outing in blue shorts, a white T-shirt and sneakers.
At one point, he was engaged in a long, intense 40-minute photo interview.

Lawson has kept a low profile since his cheating scandal with a social media influencer named Fina broke.
Fina, who is from Brunei and lives in London, met Lawson on the resort island after she was coming out of her divorce.
She told Chron Australia how she first met the actor via celebrity dating app Raya in May 2022.

They then met in Bali in August of the same year while she was vacationing there.
The couple’s relationship quickly blossomed and Lawson soon introduced her to his addiction and asked her to call him “Dad” while he called her “little girl”.
Fina admits she hadn’t heard of the ‘House of Lies’ actor before they met, but noted that tourists recognize him.

After their vacation in paradise ended, Fina and Lawson stayed in touch, regularly sending each other pictures and nice texts — but it was all part of his elaborate “web of lies,” she claims.
The news included images of Lawson shirtless in bed and the actor declaring that their romance was “more than a holiday fling.”
In one message, he wrote, “When I saw you in Bali, I knew there was something.” I just felt a connection to you right away. And when our bodies touched, daddy found his little girl.’

He later admitted he was new to the “Daddy Dom” fetish, but said he was “surprised at how much it turns him on.”
Lawson regularly promised to see Fina again, she claims, but those plans never materialized.
Fina eventually sent a message to Lawson’s friend Rebecca Moore after realizing she had been seduced.
Chron Australia has seen messages Lawson sent to Fina revealing plans to meet at the Cannes Film Festivals and in New York. She also claims he has spoken of flying to London from his home on the Gold Coast.
Last month, Chron Australia exclusively revealed that Lawson dragged a lovestruck influencer around for a year after sparking a holiday romance in Bali and introducing her to his ‘daddy dom’ fetish, only to have her heart broken, when she found out he already had a longtime partner, Rebecca Moore.
It wasn’t until those plans kept falling apart – almost a year into their holiday romance – that Fina realized something was wrong.
She told Chron Australia how her heart sank when she realized Lawson was already in a long-term relationship after researching on Instagram.
“It was all a web of lies.” I was so excited about what he had promised me. “It was all so super deceptive,” she said.
Lawson sent Fina pictures that suggested he had feelings for her
Fina said she was so in love with Lawson that she was considering a career in Australia so they could get closer – and that she felt he could be “the next person in her life” after their six-year marriage began 2022 ended.
The social media influencer added that Lawson is “amazing” about his “Daddy Dom” fetish and doesn’t mind going along with it.
