But his roles became less prominent after he was arrested with a bag of cocaine at an exclusive Sydney bar in 2017.

That same year, Beau transitioned from appearing on prime-time television to appearing in mid-air commercials.

Speaking to Woman’s Day magazine in 2010, Beau broke her silence about their split and also made some shocking claims about the fallout from their relationship.

‘I’m just speculating, but in the end I’m still not sure why Bec broke up. Maybe it was because he didn’t have a Ferrari!’ he told the magazine.

Beau also claimed that Bec started texting and calling Lleyton while they were together and that she disappeared for over a week before leaving him.

“I thought it had nothing to do with it because, let’s face it, I’m a much better-looking guy than Lleyton,” he added.

He moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting there, but returned to Australia in 2007.

Beau played Noah Lawson, who married Bec Hewitt’s on-screen character Hayley Smith, in Home and Away.

He was killed off the show in 2004 after his character was shot dead by Sarah Lewis, played by Luisa Hastings Edge.
