Former Home and Away actor Orpheus Pledger was left embarrassed after accidentally sharing a revealing video on Instagram.
The 28-year-old actor, who is best known for playing Mason Morgan on the long-running Australian soap, posted a clip of himself stepping out of the shower while nude. In the video, he briefly exposed more than intended when his hand shifted position.
The moment was short, and Pledger did not appear to realise what had happened as he walked towards the camera and ran a hand through his wet hair.
He quickly deleted the post, but not before some viewers had seen it and copies began circulating online.
While the slip-up may have been awkward, some fans responded by joking that it could open the door to a different kind of career move, with a number suggesting he should join the subscription platform OnlyFans.
It is not the first time Pledger has appeared nude on screen.
Last year, he took part in The All New Full Monty: Guys & Gals, a television special aimed at raising awareness about cancer.
At the time, he told The Daily Telegraph: “I felt confident in the process that I was going to eventually end up feeling some sort of purposeful reinvigoration.”
Pledger said his decision to join the programme was deeply personal, following the loss of his grandmother to breast cancer.
“It is something that we all face and have to go through in some way,” he said.
“There is not enough conversation about the reality of cancer and the deaths that occur on a daily basis.
“I am so pleased that I got to be a part of something that is bringing support and awareness to the cause.”
Pledger rose to prominence on Home and Away after joining the series in 2016 as Mason Morgan. He remained on the show for nearly four years before his character was killed off in a hospital shooting storyline early last year.
Reflecting on his departure, he told Now To Love: “I’m so appreciative of all that I got to do, all I got to see, all that I got to learn, all that I got to experience over those almost four years.
“Look, it was an amazing journey, I mean, it’s humongous, life-altering stuff.
“I wouldn’t take any of it back, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I reflect back on it and I just go, far out I had some amazing times.”
He added that leaving the show had been a mutual and creative decision.
“It was a joint decision. It was between the production moving forward and setting storylines, and me planning what’s going on [with my career].
“I signed on for three years and I extended for eight months – I’m just grateful for that! That’s a blessing just in that.
“It was a creative decision because it benefits the show the most at this time.”
Pledger was most recently linked to model Jacinda Gulen.
