Simon Baker is among Australia’s most recognisable acting exports, with an estimated fortune reportedly sitting at about $40million.
But on Friday, the 54-year-old star showed he has no hesitation tackling everyday chores, carefully mowing the lawn outside his Bondi Beach property.
The Mentalist actor was spotted guiding an electric lawn mower across the grass, working up a sweat in a fitted blue T-shirt that showed off his chest and biceps.
He kept the rest of his look relaxed, pairing the shirt with blue jeans, leather boots, a yellow corduroy cap and sunglasses.
Simon bought the beachfront home in May last year for a reported $6million.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the Australian actor purchased the three-bedroom cottage after it was listed for sale by social commentator Ruth Ostrow.
The home, which also features three bathrooms, sits among lush tropical gardens and offers ocean views from its loft office space.
There is an idyllic patio area for Simon to entertain guests, while interiors take on a neutral colour palette with polished wooden floorboards, whitewashed walls, high ceilings and timber accents.
