Scott Michaelson was one of the biggest heartthrobs of 90s telly but he looks rather different these days.
He was a fan favourite when he starred in Neighbours between 1991 - 1993 as the iconic and ‘spunky’ Brad Willis. Bowing out from Ramsay Street to pursue other projects at the height of his soap star fame, Scott then gave up his life in the spotlight to go into business.
