Star of huge 00s show looks unrecognisable 19 years after TV hit – and is now stepdad to A-list popstar --[Reported by Umva mag]

TELLY fans will be left doing a double take when they see the latest photos of this star. The actor, 54, looks worlds away from the character he played in a very popular US telly series that aired in the noughties. BackGridThis telly star looked unrecognisable in LA[/caption] HandoutThe popular US show ran throughout the noughties[/caption] With a bushy grey beard, the Australian actor hid beneath a baseball cap while filling his car with petrol in Los Angeles. He kept things understated – despite his Hollywood status – by wearing a grey T-shirt and black jogging bottoms. The unrecognisable star in question is Prison Break star Dominic Purcell, who played death row prisoner Lincoln Burrows. Notably burlier at the time, Dominic’s skinhead character Lincoln had ended up on death row for a crime he did not commit. Lincoln was accused of murdering the vice President’s brother, so his own brother Michael (played by Wentworth Miller), went to extreme measures to plot his escape. Michael faked a bank robbery to get inside so he could help Lincoln break free. Prison Break ran from 2005 to 2009, before being reprised for a fifth series in 2017. These days, Dominic has turned his attention to film work and in the last few years has starred in the movies Blood Red Sky, Assassin and Confidential Informant. There has been an even bigger change to his private life, however. Last year, Dominic became stepdad to a mega A-list pop star after marrying her mother. Dominic tied the knot with Trish Cyrus, who is mum to Flowers and Wrecking Ball singer Miley Cyrus, in a romantic ceremony. The wedding came 15 months after Trish finalised her divorce from country singer and Miley’s father Billy Ray Cyrus. The couple had been married for 28 years and the official reason for their split was cited as ‘irreconcilable differences’. Dominic and Trish married in August 2023 and, a few days later, she gushed on Instagram: “8.19.23 married my best friend and it was magical.” Miley attended the couple’s wedding last year, however two of her siblings, Noah and Braison, were not present. It was later claimed ‘Tish had ‘stolen Dominic off Noah‘ and banned her from the nuptials, although it is unconfirmed whether Noah ever actually dated him. Either way, Dominic had already caught Tish’s eye years earlier. Speaking in a podcast with her eldest daughter Brandi, she admitted: “We were all watching Prison Break… I would always say, ‘Dom’s my hall pass’. Always. “I was like, oh, my gosh, it is so sad that the two of us aren’t – because I was married, whatever. “I would joke about it – like, it is heartbreaking that the two of us aren’t going to be a couple because we’re so perfect.” Meanwhile, Dominic recently addressed rumours of Prison Break returning to screens. In a video recorded for social media, he told fans: “What is it about you guys keep talking about f***ing Prison Break? “I made it very clear the other day. It’s going to happen if we get the right story. “Enough with the f***ing questions about Prison Break.” GettyDominic Purcell looked completely different in his Prison Break era[/caption] Instagram/tishcyruspurcellThe actor married Trish Cyrus last year[/caption] GettyTrish is the mother of A-list popstar Miley Cyrus[/caption] Fox BroadcastingDominic recently addressed Prison Break comeback rumours[/caption]
