What happened to Heath from Blue Water High? Early 2000s heartthrob Adam Saunders looks VERY different these days as a beefed-up male model

It’s been 15 years since Adam Saunders shot to fame playing teen heartthrob Heath Carroll in ABC drama Blue Water High.

Now 33, the former child actor looks very different to how fans may remember him.

These days, Adam is a beefed-up male model and fashion photographer based in Sydney.

His once-boyish looks have been replaced by a chiselled six-pack, peroxide blond hair, a nose ring and an array of tattoos.

While he may no longer be an actor, his confidence in front of the camera is clear in the myriad of shirtless photos on his Instagram.

Speaking to Vice in 2016 about his memories of Blue Water High, Adam said: ‘Every now and then there will be an article on Facebook about shows from the early 2000s, which always feels strange because it’s not like it affects me day to day.’

He added: ‘I started with Blue Water High when I’d just turned 18. I’d finished school and that was my first big acting role. I was still getting to know myself.’ 

After leaving Blue Water High in 2006, Adam went on to pursue a career in music with his now-defunct band, Prince of Thieves. 

‘I remember saving up money from doing Blue Water High and buying a home recording studio,’ he told Vice.
