He was involved in a series of huge plots – including an affair with his girlfriend’s step grandmother – before later being tragically killed as he saved his fiancée Leela Lomax from a burning car.

Now the star goes by the name of Fab, and he has ditched his trademark slicked back hair for some wavy, shoulder length locks.

As well as his new hair style, Fab has grown a bushy grey beard in recent months.

The star tied his hair up and donned a white t-shirt and black trousers as he celebrated turning 40 this week.

Since quitting life as a soap actor, the star moved on to pave a successful movie career and has starred in a number of Brit Flicks.

The Sun revealed earlier this year that the former soap star had landed the lead in a movie called ‘Witch’ too.

The Medieval thriller was filmed earlier this year and is set for release in 2023. While Fabrizio also recently filmed a starring role in another movie called “The Unlock”.

Over on social media, the actor is often posting posed snaps including a recent one where he hit the beach topless.

He also appears to love travel, and wowed fans in June as he “enjoyed island life” and posted a topless clip.

Fab also posts playful clips of himself acting on social media too.

A recent project saw the star act in Cuttlefish, and he wrote: “Stepping it up a gear here chaps .. I’ve gone all American on this one….

“Cuttlefish is a film written and directed my my good pal and very talented  who always executed his films with perfection.!!

“Awesome work from all cast and crew you know who you all are.!!”
