Vince Colosimo appears to be getting a fresh start.

The Australian actor was spotted moving into a new home with the help of a friend on Saturday.

The 57-year-old arrived at the Melbourne address with a truck and was seen unloading items from the back while his partner helped him.

The handy star also carried out some work around the property, at one point using a power tool on a wooden panel.

Vince appeared to be in good health, wearing a loose shirt and baggy, paint-splattered jeans and black sneakers.

He came and went from the truck several times before getting to work on what appeared to be minor renovations.

It looks like the Underbelly actor is getting back on track after facing legal troubles last year.

In October, Vince revealed that he was bullied growing up after starring as a teen heartthrob on television.

He spoke at an anti-bullying event in his first public appearance since being released from jail in August last year after racking up $61,000 in traffic fines and admitting to driving under the influence of the ICE drug.

The Chopper star told the audience he had been a victim of “tall poppy syndrome”.

Colosimo said he received “a lot of crap at school” from other students and children in Melbourne’s Carlton North after appearing as Gino on the hit show Moving Out.

The harassment had begun with derogatory comments from other neighbors and then evolved into comments from complete strangers.

“When I came out, a lot of people were like, ‘Do you know who you are?'” she told the crowd in a clip aired on A Current Affair.

‘No matter where you went, you were always the center of attention, and sometimes for the wrong reasons.’

He said people have “preconceptions of who you are and where you’ve been.”

“It happens to me a lot and I dealt with it, but it could have ended me. It could have stopped me from doing what I was doing,” Colosimo told the crowd.

“I think it’s the people you surround yourself with… I had some really good friends and my brother and I kept our feet on the ground,” he said.
