Heartbreak High star Scott Major now unrecognisable

Heartbreak High, Home and Away and Neighbours star Scott Major looked very different indeed in a new appearance this week.

Heartbreak High’s Peter Rivers looks vastly different from his time on the hit drama – with an enormous beard.

Scott Major, 45 – who starred in the hit Aussie soapie for 38 episodes – looks unrecognisable due to his impressive amount of facial hair.

Major first shot to fame in the ’90s after landing a role on Home and Away, and he soon made a name for himself as bad boy Peter on Heartbreak High when he was just 18 years old.

And 27 years on, the actor has let producers of the show know that he’d love to step back into the shoes of the heart-throb one last time.

It comes after it was reported back in December that there will be a reboot of the ABC and Network Ten show airing on Netflix.

Wearing a snapback cap, hoodie and rocking an extremely cool beard, he revealed the news on video-sharing website Cameo – where he charges up to $20 a pop for fans to receive personal footage from him.

Major was one of the most prolific actors in Aussie soaps.

Fans can pay to get a personalised greeting from him.

In the video, he told one fan: “I would like to be part of the reboot, in fact, I’ve contacted the producers. I’ve contacted the production company, I’ve contacted the CEO. I’ve basically said I will do anything.

“But maybe they don’t want me, maybe I’m not talented enough? Maybe my time in Heartbreak High is finished. I hope not …”

He added: “I’m so happy they’re making it again and I hope that it captures the essence the original one captured.”

Scott clearly knows how to give fans what they want as he has received 30 five-star reviews on the site and responds to requests within just three days.

Major played Peter Rivers in Heartbreak High.

He went on to star in Neighbours and even some UK soaps.

Heartbreak High ran from 1994 to 1999 and followed the shenanigans of students who attended at Hartley High.

Scott was joined by the likes of Alex Dimitriades as Nick Poulos, Sarah Lambert as Christina Milano and Katherine Halliday as Rose Malouf on the program.

The star was very emotional when he found out that Peter was getting cut from the show.

Reflecting on the moment, he previously said: “It was like being in a relationship with someone who you’re happy with and want to spend the rest of your life with, and then having them say, ‘Sorry, I don’t want you anymore.’”

Since his alter-ego was axed from the popular ’90s show, Scott has carried on his passion working in the soap world.

He played the part of Lucas Fitzgerald in Neighbours from 2008 to 2013 and has even had a go at directing some episodes.

The actor has appeared in some UK soaps too – including one episode of Doctors in 2007.

His most recent work includes directing TV drama Playing for Keep s in 2018.
