The 38-year-old actor, who plays Ashley Stubbs in the HBO sci-fi series WestWorld, wore pink shorts as he relaxed in the ocean on a family trip to a Byron Bay beach on Sunday.

Luke returned to Australia after filming the latest series of WestWorld, during which he was kicked in the face by Evan Rachel Wood in a botched fight scene - days after having an operation.
His character clashes once again with Evan's Dolores Abernathy in an upcoming episode from the third season.

It's been almost two years since the show was last on air, but Tessa Thompson - who plays Charlotte Hale - feels like the show is "starting all over again".
Charlotte managed to break out of WestWorld at the end of series three, and Tessa said: "In a weird way, it feels like this is the premiere of the show again because we have entered the real world and the show continues to ask the question what it means to be human, but it’s asking a host – pun intended – of new questions.

"Now we get to ask the question is humanity embodied by what we’ve seen of it in the park.
"If Dolores, Maeve and the rest of the hosts have only been exposed to the kinds of people who would go to Westworld, is that really all that humanity is made of?”
WestWorld series three premieres on HBO on Sunday March 15.
