Home and Away star Ray Meagher wore his heart on his sleeve on Sunday night when he attended the Logie Awards at The Star in Sydney.
The veteran actor, 80, cut a dashing figure in a black and white tuxedo which contained a very surprising and touching detail.
On the lapel of his blazer, Meagher pinned a yellow badge promoting the mental health charity Dancing With The Black Dog.
Meagher has been an ambassador for the Australian charity since 2018, which aims to end the ‘stigma of anxiety and depression’.Â
The charity’s logo is a drawing of a black dog dancing on its hindlegs, which is imprinted on their badges along with its slogan: ‘It’s OK To Say You Don’t Feel OK.’
Meagher looked to be in good spirits as he posed up a storm at the exclusive event while proudly showcasing his love for the Melbourne-based non-profit organisation.
He was all smiles as he posed alongside his co-stars Emily Symons and Georgie Parker, as their colleague Tristan Gorey was nominated for the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent for his work on Home and Away.
Elsewhere on the night, Larry Emdur secured his first ever Logie Award and took home the Gold at the 2024 ceremony as he lead the celebrity winners..
he TV star, 59, has been a recognisable face on Aussie screens since the age of 19, but has never before secured a win at the prestigious awards ceremony.
In a milestone victory, Larry was crowned as the most popular presenter as he took home the Bert Newton Award in his first ever Logies win.
In an incredible feat, he was later crowned as the winner of the coveted Gold Logie as he cleaned up on the huge night.
Taking the stage at the Logies ceremony in Sydney, The Morning Show host had the crowd roaring, making light of the number of times his programs have been axed over the years and his wide range of questionable hosting gigs.Â
‘I just remembered I did say if I won this, I’d get all the nominees initials tattooed on my a**e live tomorrow morning,’ he began, drawing laughter from the audience.
It was a promise Larry lived up to the following morning when he received a tattoo on his behind live on The Morning Show.Â
Earlier in the night, Larry beat his fellow TV veterans Hamish Blake, Julia Morris, Sonia Kruger and Tony Armstrong, as well as newcomer Robert Irwin to the Bert Newton Award.
