Honey Badger’s ‘nerd’ transformation: Ex-Bachelor Nick Cummins, 32, looks worlds away from his heartthrob days after a few months of isolation as he binges on junk food and buys an Xbox

He shot to fame when he became The Bachelor on the reality dating show almost two years ago. 

But these days Nick ‘The Honey Badger’ Cummins looks worlds away from his days as a TV heartthrob.   

The former Wallaby debuted a very scruffy look when he re-emerged on Instagram on Tuesday.

He sported a lengthy goatee on his chin and long ringlets that fell down his shoulders.

In one Instagram story, Nick let his fans know he was purchasing an XBox to play. 

‘Righto, all you nerds. You’re going to get smoked,’ Nick proudly said, while holding the gaming console. 

‘Getting the headset. Gonna whoop some a**,’ he added.

In a following video, he showed off what appeared to be a dinner for one – a Thai green curry and rice, and Arnott’s chocolate-covered Scotch Finger biscuits for dessert.

The new hobby comes after Nick was recently forced to deny rumours that he’s in a relationship with Sydney socialite, Alexandra George.

‘It’s not true… It’s another G-up,’ he told Daily Mail Australia in July.  

In June, it was reported that the pair had been spending lockdown together in Seal Rocks, on the mid-north coast of New South Wales.

However, the former rugby union player insisted he is still single, and if the reporters checked first ‘there would be no gossip’.

Nick unforgettably caught the ire of the nation when he left finalists Brittany Hockley and Sophie Tieman heartbroken after he chose no-one in the finale of The Bachelor.

‘Right now, I can’t give 100 percent to you. My head is very clouded. Right now, I’m a little bit lost,’ he told Brittany.  

Moments earlier, he delivered a similar break-up speech to Sophie.

More recently, Nick used his experiences from The Bachelor and the emotional toll it took on him to launch a new business, the Rogue Gentleman’s Club.

The project helps men find ‘passion and purpose’ through outdoor activities while retreating into the outback with Nick and other guides.

‘Blokes these days are walking on eggshells,’ Nick told Stellar magazine last June of the project.
