Married At First Sight is supposed to be about regular people finding love.
Regular people, with regular jobs, who hang out with regular people and enjoying regular (sometimes) exercise alongside regular servings of pizza.
But turns out a bunch of the contestants on the current season of MAFS are actors.
We already know ex-groom Sam Ball was in an episode of Home And Away. And we also ‘electrician’ Mike Gunner previously starred in a low-budget movie.
Now, SIX more contestants have been revealed as actors, including some of the shows recent intruders- Susie, Billy and Tamara.
Susie (or someone who looks a lot like Susie) starred in an ad for Queensland-based fitness company Peptides Direct in JANUARY THIS YEAR.
Is lying in bed pretending to sleep acting? ‘Cause if it is, we’re all in.
Billy the ‘barista’ was in a 2012 McDonald’s commercial. He plays a surfer. Yes it’s as great as you are imagining. Check those pics out here.
Meanwhile, Tamara has her own StarNow profile listing herself as an ‘actor, extra and model’.
Doesn’t get more legit than a StarNow profile.
Note: the StarNow profile has since been taken down. Suspicious?
But it’s not just the intruders that have acting experience. Some of the OG contestants are also actors.
The most unexpected? Dino!
And he didn’t just act in one commercial, he was in a range of productions.
Dino was in a razor commercial:
And he even appeared in Australian movie Eleven Days in 2017.
Don’t believe us? Jump to the 1:38 mark.
There’s evidence of Dino’s diverse acting career is all over his Instagram.
Back in May 2018, just four months before filming his MAFS wedding, Dino posted this beauty:

“When the director says “Action!” I get a thrill in the feeling that it is my chance to forget my own past or my future and embrace living in the character I play!” he captioned the pic.
The rest of his instagram feed is full of shots of him in magazines and modelling. He’s hardly hiding it!
Dino was even joined by MAFS bride Jessika in 2017 in a campaign for prescription glasses company Speqs:

Oh and Dino’s ex-MAFS-wife Mel has also dipped her toe in the acting pool.
Mel has her own IMDB page which lists an upcoming role in an Australian production titled ‘The Script of Life’.
She also played as a police officer in, uh, something. Or maybe she just likes playing dress up.

If you ask us, Mel being an actress probably makes the MOST sense. She is a talent agent, after all.
We don’t know for sure if these contestants are acting on the show or just actors who happen to be looking for love, but there’s definitely a trend here.
