And the 42-year-old proved a mere 17 years hasn't interfered with his action man status.

The Mad Love actor was seen filming scenes for NCIS: Los Angeles today against the backdrop of the beautiful and quirky Venice Beach in California.

Chris was seen in his wetsuit taking to the water, not even bothering with a surf or paddle board as he dived straight into the waves.

Unfortunately for the father-of-five, the suit didn't particular flatter his physique, creating a rounder middle than in actuality with a large grey panel.

However, when Chris unzipped the upper section of the suit to roll it down to his waist, he showed off shapely biceps and a sunkissed body - although there was a little abdominal definition missing.

Chris secured steady work following his role as Robin in the Tim Burton produced/Joel Schumacher by and directed  blockbuster - but failed to be cast in anything groundbreaking.

Following one episode of Two And A Half Men and a handful of appearances in Grey's Anatomy, he landed on his feet again with his latest role in the NCIS as lead character G. Callen, a lead senior special agent whose natural talent for undercover work is legendary.
