Simon Baker Begins Work on 'Breath' at Bronte Beach in Sydney

Simon Baker looks to be in great spirits while setting up shots on set of a new project on Friday (December 18) at Bronte Beach in Sydney, Australia.

The 46-year-old actor is likely working on his brand new adaptation of Tim Winton‘s novel, “Breath,” which he will also direct.

The movie follows two adventurous teenage surfers, whom they have yet to cast.

Meanwhile, Simon will also star in the film as Sando, an older surfer who befriends the boys.

Simon Baker Used 'The Mentalist' As His Film School

Simon Baker suits up for the YWCA’s Mother Of All Black And White Balls on Saturday evening (May 30) in Sydney, Australia.

The 45-year-old Mentalist alum was joined on the carpet by his wife Rebecca Riggs.

Simon recently opened up about his desire to direct.

“I had been working towards wanting to direct when I signed on to The Mentalist. After I did The Guardian, I didn’t want to ever do TV again,” Simon told THR. “I didn’t think that I could handle that kind of grind. But when I signed on to The Mentalist, I made a very conscious decision to use it as a film school. We made 151 hours of TV and it’s sort of the speed dating of film production. You have to pull pieces together at high speed. You have to do the script development, you have to do casting, do location scouting. You are always working with different people. I directed as many of those as I could physically.”

Simon Baker Goes Shirtless in Sydney Ahead of 'The Mentalist' Series Finale

Simon Baker shows off his surfing skills while hitting the waves at Whale Beach on Tuesday (February 17) in Sydney, Australia.

The day before, the 45-year-old actor was spotted shirtless while frolicking in the water with his wife Rebecca Rigg.

Simon‘s show The Mentalist just aired its series finale, and Executive Producer Tom Szentgyorgyi revealed what’s next for Simon’s character Patrick and – SPOILER ALERT! – his new wife Teresa (Robin Tunney).

“Jane’s building a house for his family. Lisbon will work at the FBI through her pregnancy until two weeks before she delivers, take a few months’ maternity leave, then go back to kicking ass and arresting bad guys,” Tom told Deadline.” It’s what she does. Will Jane go back to working for the FBI with her? I don’t know. I suspect he doesn’t either. As for Cho, he will certainly continue to rise. Could the Chelsea Clinton administration see an FBI Director Cho? I don’t see why not.”

Simon‘s hit series The Mentalist will have its series finale on February 18 and he recently chatted with The Evening Times about life after the show.

“I’m looking forward to enjoying the simple things socially, actually reconnecting with friends and family that I’ve been a little bit out of the loop with for the last seven years,” Simon said. “I’d love to be the assistant coach of my kids’ soccer team, and actually be able to go to practices, or just go camping.”
