Who Is Dr Chris Brown?
Chris Brown, AKA Dr Chris, first stole Australia’s hearts when he appeared as a vet on Harry’s Practice in
However, the 43-year-old never intended on a career in the limelight. Yep, after graduating from the University of Sydney as a veterinarian, Chris stumbled into the media accidentally!
He was scouted for Harry’s Practice after he was overheard telling extraordinary stories about animals over a couple of beers at the pub.
Since then, his animal expertise has granted him opportunities to present on Burke’s Backyard, The Today Show and Talk To The Animals.
In 2009, Chris rose to higher prominence fronting Bondi Vet. The long-running series followed the beloved vet as he tended to furry patients at the Bondi Junction Veterinary Hospital and we were blessed with numerous shots of him running shirtless down the beach!
In sad news that devastated every animal lover (and Chris lover), Bondi Vet was canned in 2016.
What Other TV Shows Has Dr Chris Brown Appeared On?
Aussies just can’t get enough of Dr Chris, who, after Bondi Vet‘s axing, continued to co-host The Living Room alongside Amanda Keller, Barry Du Bois and Miguel Maestre. He has been a part of Network Ten’s hit lifestyle program since 2012, delivering segments on lifestyle and travel.
In 2015, Chris found undeniable chemistry with Julia when they lead the charge into the jungle for the inaugural Aussie I’m A Celeb season.
They also teamed up again in 2019 for the short-lived variety show, Chris and Julia’s Sunday Night Takeaway.
