Australian actor John Jarratt sports long white hair and a beard as he is seen jogging in Sydney for the first time in years
He has kept a low profile since being fully cleared of historic rape allegations in 2019.
And acclaimed Australian actor John Jarratt was spotted on a rare public outing in Sydney on Tuesday.
The 71-year-old looked very different from when he went jogging from his McLeod’s Daughters and Wolf Creek days.

Jarratt looked very different from his younger days as an actor as he sported long gray hair and a beard.
He seems to be living a quieter life these days, having endured a court trial in 2019 that ultimately cleared him of any wrongdoing.

He was found not guilty of raping his roommate more than 40 years ago.
Jarratt pleaded not guilty to raping the woman in 1976 at their Randwick home, which they shared with his wife Rosa Miano and at least one other person.
The Picnic at the Hanging Skirt star testified before the NSW District Court jury that he was seduced into consensual sex with the then 19-year-old woman.
‘[She said] She found me attractive and I think there was a seduction from there,” he told NSW District Court in 2019.

“Unfortunately, I took part. I willingly had sex with her and she willingly had sex with me. It was consensual.’
Jarratt was charged after the woman went to police in late 2017.
But it took the jury of five men and seven women just two hours to return the unanimous verdict of not guilty.
