Exposed: Ryan from MAFS Australia’s ‘paid actor’ career he doesn’t want us to know about

It turns out MAFS Australia 2025 groom Ryan has a bit of a career as an actor. Plus, it seems he’s not too keen on the idea of people finding out.

Being an actor never looks good when you’re on a reality TV show. Mainly because people question if cast members who are actors are really there for love, or if producers roped them in because they’re good with drama. It would also be a great career boost.

So, it seems MAFS Australia cast member Ryan has a secret life as an actor, that he’s trying to keep under wraps. On the show, he described himself as a “project manager”. But, people have found all about his other career, and the “paid actor” allegations are coming in thick and fast.

First, it was revealed Ryan had been an actor before MAFS Australia 2025

Ryan didn’t do a very good job of keeping things covered up. So Dramatic! reported he had an acting career before the show. There are pictures on his Instagram of Ryan all dressed up as a police officer, in what appears to be a role he had prior to the experiment.

The publication said Ryan had profiles on a number of acting portfolio sites, including StarNow and Right Fit, which he took down in an attempt to keep this detail of his life hidden. Before the profiles were taken down, they said he had roles in Neighbours and NCIS: Sydney. It’s believed the police officer pictures are from NCIS: Sydney.

Then, Ryan was spotted filming for a horror film

Ryan was caught clear as day filming for an actual Hollywood movie. Daily Mail Australia obtained pictures of the MAFS groom on the set, at the same time the show was airing. So, he’s very much still at it!

He was seen in Sydney, wearing a blue suit, white shirt and tie. Ryan was giving very much slick corporate LinkedIn vibes, as he strutted through the streets. He was apparently filming a role as an extra, and was seen chatting with crew members.

Ryan has also been on reality TV before MAFS Australia 2025

Just to make matters worse, there’s also a resurfaced clip of Ryan on reality TV before doing the rounds. Ryan was on Aussie show, Beauty and The Geek. The TikTok is captioned: “Do I need glasses or is that Ryan?”.

The comments are filled with paid actor claims. “Yes, he is an actor,” one person said. “Oh I have HEARD they’ve been recycling actors on these shows,” another said.

Ryan, I need some answers.
