He's hardly aged! Ex Eastender Craig Fairbrass, 53, shows off his buff physique in Barbados twenty years after securing his place as a national heartthrob

He has held his own starring alongside action heros including Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham and Denzel Washington in the eighties and nineties. 

And Craig Fairbrass, who became a household name during his Eastenders stint as Lothario Dan Sullivan, continued to turn heads twenty years on as he enjoyed a beach day in Barbados this week. 

The 53-year-old actor was spotted showing off his toned physique as he caught some rays with his wife Elke Kellick.

Flaunting his toned arms and tanned torso, it appeared Craig has become quite the silver fox.

Clad in just a pair of black swimming trunks, he echoed his 1994 Beyond Bedlam appearance, having aged remarkably well.

Enjoying a dip in the tropical sea, he later threw on some clothes and enjoyed a beach walk with Elke. 

Sporting a fitted coral V-neck T shirt he was every inch the gentleman as he carried their beach bag.

Elke, who shares sons Jake and Luke with Craig, cut a glamorous figure in a striped bikini and white sun hat.

Covering her toned curves in a classic white sundress, she looked in good spirits as they enjoyed the sights and sounds of the island. 

Craig got his first big break starring opposite Denzel Washington For Queen and Country in 1980, before he shot to fame on British TV screens as Gary 'Technique' Pagnall in the hit ITV drama London's Burning in the early 90s.

He went on to star alongside Sylvester Stallone in the 1993 Hollywood blockbuster Cliffhanger playing mercenary Delmar, before joining Jason Statham on The Bank Job. 

Becoming a household name, he then joined EastEnders in 1999 as Dan Sullivan.

During his time in the BBC soap, Craig was involved in many highly-publicised storylines, including having an affair with Bianca Jackson at the same time as having a relationship with her mother Carol.

He later left EastEnders in 2001 before becoming the voice of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 playing the part of Sergeant Wallcroft.
