Home and Away star Johnny Ruffo announced in October he was officially in remission from brain cancer. 

And on Thursday, the actor looked happy and healthy as he enjoyed a game of golf in Sydney with his friend Guy Sebastian. 

The 30-year-old appeared to be in high spirits as he soaked up the sunshine while taking swings on the green.

It’s been more than a year since the former X Factor finalist announced he’d been diagnosed with brain cancer. 

Johnny’s life changed in 2017, when doctors were forced to remove a 7cm tumour from his skull before he subsequently underwent chemotherapy.

He recently told Take 5 that he considered his remission ‘a Christmas miracle’ and he would ‘never take that for granted’. 

‘In October, I finished all my rounds of chemo and was officially in remission,’ he told the publication.

‘I’m still having MRI scans done every three months to check the cancer hasn’t returned, but I’m positive about the future.’
