Pete Evans looks scruffy in camouflage pants as he steps out in Bondi

He recently debuted a wild Viking-inspired haircut after disappearing from public life and starting his own ‘fasting retreat’ at a remote Byron Bay compound.

And Pete Evans embraced his off-the-grid style on Wednesday as he stepped out in Sydney‘s eastern suburbs wearing camouflage cargo pants and an army green shirt.

The disgraced celebrity chef and conspiracy theorist, 50, channeled his inner doomsday prepper as he strode down a Bondi street wearing scuffed leather boots, military-style sunglasses and a hiking backpack.

A tuft of Evans’ mullet-mohawk poked out from beneath his grey baseball cap, which featured the logo of his Evolve wellness brand.

Looking worlds away from his days as a clean-cut TV star, the former My Kitchen Rules host completed his look with a scruffy salt-and-pepper beard.

Evans, who splits his time between his homes in Bondi and Byron Bay, has all but vanished into obscurity in recent years following a string of controversies stemming from his belief in pseudoscientific conspiracy theories.

In May 2020, it was announced Evans had parted ways with Channel Seven after ten years as a judge on MKR alongside Manu Feildel.

It effectively marked his break from the mainstream after years of flirting with off-the-wall ideas during his tenure at the network.

Now free from the contractual constraints of mainstream network television, Evans began making wild claims about vaccines and Covid-19 on social media.

Evans was kicked off Facebook for sharing misinformation in December 2020. 

His Instagram page was also removed in February 2021, with the Meta-owned social media platform issuing a statement that read: ‘We don’t allow anyone to share misinformation about Covid-19 that could lead to imminent physical harm or about Covid-19 vaccines that have been debunked by public health experts.’

Evans was also dropped by 15 sponsors and companies in the space of 48 hours in November 2020 after posting a neo-Nazi meme on social media.

In January this year, he announced his comeback venture: a ‘fasting retreat’ where participants pay $2,500 to avoid eating and participate in ‘breathwork ceremonies’. 

Evans and his wife Nicola regularly run retreats at the $1million centre near Byron Bay in northern NSW he bought in 2021.
