“28 years ago I got this awesome ‘2 for 1’ special! I got a best mate and a best son in the same deal,” he captioned the post.

“Happy Birthday Jye, for 28 years you have entertained and fascinated us and made us beyond proud. You are my co-pilot for life and I’m excited to watch your next chapter which may or may not include helping me push my Zimmer frame around the nursing home”

Fans quickly took to the comments to point out the surprising resemblance between the pair and compliment Jye on his good looks.

“Oh my god! I thought that was an old photo of you in the 2nd one” one person wrote, with another adding, “How bizarre they could be twins”.

“Happy Birthday to your son, who is such a ‘mini me’ of you!” a third shared.

“At the risk of sounding like a pervy old lady ‘phwoar!’” The Real Housewives of Sydney’s Lisa Oldfield remarked.

Jye also left his own heartwarming comment on his dad’s post, writing: “That caption needs to come with a waterworks warning. Love you with everything I have, always have and always will!”

Happy As

Larry’s post comes shortly after he announced earlier this month that he is writing a memoir titled Happy As which will be released in August.

“It’s really a nostalgic kind of look back at growing up in Bondi, Chiko Rolls, going surfing, sunburn and then it leaks into television,” he explained on The Morning Show.

“It’s a fun look through television, 40 years in television, but also lots of good old stuff that we can look back over our shoulder and smile about the good old days.”
