These days, Dick is staying out of the public eye after moving to Ireland to live a more reclusive lifestyle.
He gave fans a glimpse at his days in a carousel of Instagram photos posted late last month, showing the star enjoying the great outdoors.
The former TV personality posed for solo shots of himself taking in the breathtaking views during a nature hike.
Hours earlier, Dick shared other scenic pics from the hike, which he noted in his caption was at Devil’s Glenn Waterfall.
A WHOLE NEW DICK
Despite the gorgeous landscape, many fans were more captivated by Dick’s dramatically altered looks compared to his time on the show.
The Los Angeles native dressed casually in blue jeans, a dark-colored t-shirt, and an NFL cap.
He appeared to ditch his formerly fiery red highlights, jewelry, and black nail polish for a more toned-down look, sporting a gray beard and eyeglasses.
“Love the pictures you’re looking good,” one fan praised the star in the comments.
“You look great!” another echoed.
Dick made a name for himself as a TV villain, even going by the nickname “Evel Dick” during his first appearance on the show.

He returned to the show four years later but left on the sixth day.
Dick later explained his abrupt exit was because the show’s medical staff informed him that he was HIV positive.
The podcaster went on to host a YouTube series, Dick at Night, where he recapped Big Brother episodes and interviewed evicted houseguests.
Nowadays, Big Brother fans’ focus has been on a new villain, Rylie Jeffries, who is starring on the show’s 27th season, which is currently airing.
Big Brother Villains
Big Brother has been beloved by reality TV fans since 2000. The show brings together a group of strangers to live in a house, competing in various challenges. Along the way, villains are introduced.

Earlier this week, viewers were left puzzled by Rylie’s concerning behavior after he lashed out at fellow houseguest Katherine Woodman on the live feed.
Fans previously begged producers to step in after watching Rylie’s worrying antics.
They’ve also complained that there appeared to be significantly more cuts in the live feeds than in past seasons, despite them supposedly being unfiltered around the clock.
