Sports legend looks totally unrecognisable as he steps out in coronavirus-stricken Melbourne wearing a rather alarming face mask

Fans would be forgiven for not recognising AFL legend Chris Judd as he went for a stroll in Melbourne’s south-east on Wednesday.

The retired footy star, 36, stepped out wearing a rather alarming ski mask, which covered the entire lower half of his face and neck.

While he looked ready to hit the slopes, Chris was simply doing his civic duty by covering his face in accordance with the state’s COVID-19 lockdown rules.

The former Carlton captain seemed to be taking Melbourne’s stage-four lockdown in his stride by wearing a tongue-in-cheek slogan sweater that read ‘Isolation vacation’.

He was enjoying his one hour of ‘outside time’, and kept well within the permitted 5km radius of his $7.3million Brighton home.

Chris, his wife, Rebecca Judd (née Twigley), and their four children, Oscar, Billie, Tom and Darcy, won’t be able to stray far from their newly-renovated mansion.
