The Australian soap Home And Away has been captivating the country since 1988.

Although characters have come and gone, the 2021 cast is one of its best yet.

From Sam Frost, who can’t help but light up the screen, to H&A veteran Ray Meagher, who has been on the show since it started 33 years ago, and Penny McNamee, who is a joy to watch – the ensemble cast is the best of Australian talent.

While we know almost everything about their character’s love lives, heartaches and life hurdles, the one thing we’re curious about is: how old are the Home And Away actors are in real life?

Finding out the age of your favourite actor is just as oddly satisfying as googling how tall they are, perhaps, because it feels like you can understand what they may be like in real life.
