Neighbours Andrew Robinson star unrecognisable after swapping soap for Hollywood

Jordan Patrick Smith played Paul Robinson's son Andrew in Neighbours – and the star looks completely unrecognisable after swapping the soap for Hollywood.

Andrew Robinson was introduced to viewers following his birth on November 13 1991, with the character originally played by Shannon Holmes until Andrew departed Ramsay Street in 1992.

However like most of Paul Robinson's kids, it wasn't long before he returned and in 2009, a teenage Andrew returned to Ramsay Street – played this time by Scottish-Australian actor Jordan.

Jordan's career could have been completely different though, as before moving to Brisbane at age 13, he played football for Dunfermline’s youth academy, in his hometown of Fife, Scotland.

It was not long before his acting talents were catching the eyes of casting directors however, with Jordan landing roles in Australian TV shows such as H20: Just Add Water and Mortified.

He also had a rival soap role in Home and Away as Damo Nicholls in 2008, before joining Neighbours as Andrew Robinson.

During his time on the soap, Andrew was involved in storylines including a relationship with Donna Freedman, played by future Hollywood starlet Margot Robbie.

Since leaving Neighbours, Andrew has undergone a huge transformation after swapping the soaps for Hollywood – landing leading roles in drama series such as Vikings.

He has ditched his long blonde hair and looks as incredible as ever, sporting brunette locks, facial hair and a muscular physique, more than 10 years since leaving Neighbours.

Jordan has since appeared in TV series and films including Banished and Angelina Jolie film Unbroken, as well as delighting fans as Ubbe in Vikings.

Speaking during Comic Con At Home in 2020, the actor revealed he was nervous to join such a huge TV drama from series four, but recalled the welcoming atmosphere on set.

"When I first came to set it was big shoes to fill," said Jordan.

He added: "But I also remember everyone being so welcoming. It was our first time in Ireland together, four brothers, and everyone was so welcoming."

However Jordan has not forgotten about Neighbours, as the actor made a surprise appearance during what was thought to be the soap's final ever episode in August 2022.

Fans of the Australian soap can also relive some of the actor's soap moments on Amazon Freevee, where the entire 2012 season is currently available to stream.
