This hunky Australian keeps fit surfing, skateboarding, and playing water polo.

And while Down Under, Simon Baker displayed his muscular physique as he waded alongside 12-year-old son Harry at Bondi Beach in Sydney on Sunday.

The golden-haired 44-year-old squinted into the sun as he puffed out his chiseled chest wearing nothing but blue-striped trunks.

The Mentalist stud also revealed a horizontal scar under his rib cage, which might be from a surfing injury or possibly pyloric stenosis.

Simon's youngest never left his side - even matching his famous father in red-and-blue-striped trunks.

Meanwhile, the Givenchy model's wife Rebecca Rigg and their 15-year-old son Claude were also reportedly enjoying the beach.

Oscar winner Nicole Kidman is Harry's godmother while her best friend Naomi Watts is Claude's godmother.

In fact, Baker's 45-year-old wife - whom he met on a 1991 blind date - hasn't acted since the 2010 spy drama Fair Game starring Watts.

The longtime acting couple's eldest child - 20-year-old daughter Stella - was nowhere to be seen Sunday.

Simon can currently be seen as mind-reading police consultant Patrick Jane in the sixth season of his CBS procedural.

The two-time Golden Globe nominee has made directing an annual hobbie - having helmed this season's episode titled My Blue Heaven.

The Mentalist airs Sunday nights on CBS.

I used to have such a teenage crush on him when I lived in Australia and he starred on E Street.

Are you having a laugh? Muscular physique? Chiselled chest? I think the writer of this piece was looking at an entirely different set of pictures, surely.

Certainly not muscular, but by hell he is a handsome man with oodles of charisma.
