He’s out of this world

- SALLY COATES

ASTROPHYSI­CIST Matt Agnew could be a Clark Kent lookalike in the newest promo for his upcoming season of The Bachelor, and the ladies are lusting as if he actually were the man of steel.

The Bachelor season seven promo dropped yesterday with Agnew, 31, ( pictured left) stepping into the role of a superhero blasted to Earth from a meteor.

As per tradition, the promo is dramatic and full of love hearts, red roses, a limo, beautiful women and of course, Osher Gunsberg.

Agnew has been viewed by many as a breath of fresh air after the last season of The Bachelor with Nick “The Honey Badger” Cummins did not curry favour with fans of the show when the former footy pro picked no one in the finale.

There were cries for the next Bachelor to be an unknown — not a celebrity and not a former contestant — and Network 10 delivered.

Agnew has a double undergradu­ate degree in science and engineerin­g, and a masters in astrophysi­cs.

Soon to be Dr Agnew, he’s also a PHD candidate at the Swinburne University of Technology where he works in the Centre for Astrophysi­cs and Supercompu­ting.

Filming has wrapped and the charming geek said he’s excited for the season to air.

“(I am feeling) Really excited! I wouldn’t have signed onto this experience if I was worried about dropping my guard and putting it all on the line to find love in front of the rest of Australia. It’s probably the most naked I can get without taking my clothes off!”

There is no air date for season just yet but traditiona­lly prime time shows begin once another ends, so fans can likely expect Agnew on their screens when Masterchef concludes.
