Ryan Moloney has revealed a surprising new career move.
The former Vecinos star, who left the soap opera in September, has become a beekeeper.
The beloved actor, who played Jarrod ‘Toadfish’ Rebecchi on the TV series for 30 years, is passionate about sustainability.
He lives off-grid on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, where his family generates their own power and water.
The 44-year-old said Yahoo Lifestyle has become more involved in beekeeping since leaving Ramsay Street behind.
“Bees started as a hobby and quickly became a small business,” he said.
“I love how in tune you have to be when you work with them and the puzzles they give you at every inspection,” the TV star added.
Earlier this year, Ryan announced that he and Toadfish would be parting ways with the long-running drama series.

She shared the devastating news with her fans in a video shared on Neighbors’ Instagram page as she detailed her next steps in her career.
‘After 30 years playing Toadie, I will be leaving Ramsay Street. I can’t tell you what’s happening to the character; “maybe I could be the next Jim Robinson,” he wrote.
“Or maybe I’ll be the next Harold Bishop and keep popping up over the years.”
The Australian actor, who played Jarrod ‘Toadfish’ Rebecchi on the beloved TV show, is passionate about sustainability.
“I love how in tune you have to be when you work with them and the puzzles they give you at every inspection,” the TV star added.
Ryan said he won’t be walking away from television entirely and will continue to work behind the camera after recently completing a director’s training course.
“While I won’t show you our fantastic stories in front of the camera, I will show you from the other side, behind the camera,” he continued.
‘I’ve just started training as a director and I’ve just finished filming my first episode as a director, so I really hope you enjoy it.
He concluded: ‘Thank you all for the love you have shown me and Toadie over the years. I’m going to miss you, I’m going to miss him and I’m going to miss Erinsborough.
His shock exit comes a year after Neighbors returned to screens on Amazon Freevee, shortly after the show was canceled and the finale aired on Network 10 in July 2022.
Ryan has become one of the most recognizable faces of Neighbors since he first appeared on Ramsay Street as Toadie in 1995.
