EastEnders star looks unrecognisable in new snap 12 years after quitting the soap
AN EASTENDERS actor looks completely different 12 years after quitting the soap.
The BBC One screen star stripped topless for a beach snap before posing by a series of palm trees on a recent holiday.
Tony Discipline, 36, was an EastEnders stalwart for two years between 2011 and 2013, playing Tyler Moon.
His character was the son of Eddie Moon (David Essex), as well as a cousin to legendary Alfie Moon (Shane Richie).
He arrived on Albert Square with dad Eddie Moon and brother Anthony and worked in the family’s antiques store.
The cheeky chap, who stared in 175 episodes of the BBC soap, was then seen training as a boxer before starting a relationship with Whitney Dean.
Yet after their relationship faltered, he quit Walford life for a cruise ship with his brother in summer 2013.
Now Tony has kept his followers up-to-date with his off-camera life on social media.
As well as his holiday images, he has uploaded snaps showing nights out with family and friends and recent bike rides.
Alongside one recent image, a fan wrote: “Looking good.”
He added the thoughtful caption: “Memories” to on image showing him on the beach.

He previously revealed his new career as a bartender, with his The Tipsy Trailer bar, while he has also trained as a firefighter.
Yet recently, proving he is keeping his hand in acting, he posted his new headshots to his Instagram grid.
As well as EastEnders, he has starred in 2012’s All I Want For Christmas and 2021’s Override.
Last year, fans were stunned as he popped up in rival soap Doctors.
