David ‘Kochie’ Koch has unveiled a truly shocking new look – but all is not what it seems.
The former Sunrise host, 68, appears in a new advertisement for Australian Lamb ahead of Australia Day.
In a clip from the ad Koch is seen sporting giant muscles and ripped arms while posing at the beach.
He is busy weightlifting on the sand while an onlooker walks by and says, ‘Looking good Kochie’.
However it’s quickly clear there is something wrong with the host – on closer inspection the footage is fake.
It turns out the footage is AI generated imagery – deliberately mocking absurd things posted online.

Other scenes show various strange comments people have made online, before Lambassador Sam Kekovich urged viewers to eat some lamb.
In October, Koch revealed he has become a grandfather for the ninth time.
He posted to Instagram to share the jovial news that his youngest daughter Georgie has given birth to her first child.
He confirmed that Georgie and her husband Alex Merkel, who live in London, have welcomed a baby daughter called Heidi.
David, known by his nickname Kochie, shared an adorable picture of his wife Libby meeting their ninth grandchild for the first time in London in the heartfelt post.
He gushed in a caption: ‘When Libby meets Heidi… grandchild #9… in London for the first time. First child for Georgie and Alex.’
David confirmed his youngest daughter Georgie was expecting her first child live on The Morning Show back in April last year.
He told hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies at the time: ‘Georgie is expecting her first child, she lives in London at the moment.

‘Lib and I are off to London to visit her and on Monday – we are going to the ultrasound appointment. She is 24/25 weeks.’
David also gave an insight into his very sweet family tradition as he revealed the item he will be buying for Georgie during his London visit.
He shared: ‘We have a family tradition, we buy the first pram for each of the families. ‘(We’re) very excited. It’s number nine for us.’
Georgie married her now-husband Alex in a romantic outdoor ceremony in Regent’s Park, London, in July 2022.
As well as Georgie, David and Libby also share daughters Brianna and Samantha, and son Alexander, better known as AJ.
David already has eight other grandchildren as his son AJ welcomed his first child – a daughter called Catalina May – with his wife Carolina in 2021.
The little one was born weeks after Samantha welcomed a daughter called Florence May with her partner Toby. They also share three other children – Lila, Oscar, and Matilda.
David’s other daughter Brianna, who lives in Perth, also has three children – Jax, Teddy and Ella – with her partner CJ Jayasinghe.
David met his wife Libby decades ago when they were in their 20s and went on to tie the knot in 1979, and have been happily married ever since.
‘Lib was a 20-year-old nurse. Our friend Judy decided to have a party, and that’s where we met back in 1977,’ David told New Idea magazine of their first meeting.
David was the co-host of Channel Seven’s breakfast show Sunrise for 21 years until he stepped down from the role in May last year.
He said at the time: ‘I have loved every single minute of it and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved here over the last 21 years.’
The beloved star told how he was stepping back to enjoy more flexible working hours and spend time with his growing family.
