Rob Kazinsky played Sean Slater on BBC's EastEnders between 2006 and 2022.

The 41-year-old was unrecognizable as he was spotted on a stroll in London on Friday.

Rob was spotted rocking a small man-bun and a sleeveless t-shirt in Primrose Hill that showed off his toned body and muscular physique.

The actor enjoyed the sunny day with friends as they shopped around the posh neighbourhood.

Rob completed his look with black jeans, dark sunglasses and green trainers.

He tied his black leather jacket to his backpack as it was not needy on the warm, spring day in the English capital.

Rob was spotted carrying multiple shopping bags from Cyberdog, a specialty rave-wear clothing brand.

The actor shared with fans his body transformation as he worked hard to shred and reach his target goal.

He would regularly post updates and side-by-side photos of his body as he worked hard to get into shape.

EastEnders legend lands huge role in new Hollywood movie

“Well, in the end it took almost a year to hit my goal weight of 195. I guess when you do it reasonably healthily over 40 that’s to be expected," Rob wrote on Instagram in 2024.

“The second picture is when I knew I had to change something. I didn’t recognize myself, and it had crept up so slowly. Living as I always had would, so I thought, always yield the same results but I learned differently."

Since leaving EastEnders, Rob has scored some major gigs including opposite Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh and Power actor, Omari Hardwick in the new Star Trek movie.

Rob admitted to being a huge Star Trek fan when he landed the role.

 "Yet ANOTHER dream job alert," he wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the movie's cast.

"My people know that ST is my life, I can pretty much mouth along to every episode of every trek.

"So to be joining the Trek universe is one of, if not the greatest moment of my professional life," he continued.

"Also, I met Jonathan Frakes this morning for the second time. AND he knew my name!"
