TELEVISION hunk Simon Baker showed his true colours on Saturday by cheering on the Lennox Head Trojans in their Far North Coast rugby match against Casino at Lennox Head.

Baker, who grew up in Lennox Head and Ballina before making it big in film and television, is back in the area for a short stay while on break from filming US television show The Mentalist.

The star has family and friends in the area and is a regular visitor on the Far North Coast.

Although he wore dark glasses, it did not take long for the crowd to notice the actor who has also appeared in hit movies such as LA Confidential and The Devil Wears Prada.
