Hercules star Kevin Sorbo’s new pad revealed – realestate.com.au

Actor, producer and director Kevin Sorbo, who played the mythological strongman Hercules on the ’90s syndicated TV show, will soon have a new home in Florida.

Sorbo has signed a contract to purchase a three-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home in the new Forté Luxe Peninsula community on Jupiter Peninsula.

Although the price he pays is not known, comparable three-bedroom spreads in the gated complex are around $5 million to $5.4 million (AUD$7 million to $7.64 million); a four-bedroom on the market asking $7.9 million (AUD $11.2 million), The New York Post reports.

The mansion is approximately 3,550 square feet.

It features floor-to-ceiling glass windows, beamed ceilings and a rooftop terrace with a summer kitchen, fire pit, lounge areas and water views. There is also a covered terrace overlooking the water.

In a statement, Sorbo called the purchase a “perfect getaway” with views that “rival the Bahamas.”

The sleek chef’s kitchen features a breakfast bar. There is also an open-plan living and dining room and a study. Each home also has its own elevator and floating stairs. Private plunge pools are optional.

The development will include 17 townhomes, all with water views on three sides, on a peninsula across the Intracoastal Waterway from Jupiter Island.

Fortelni, founder and CEO of Forté Development. Architecture by Alfonso Jurado designed the modern townhouses, which range from 3,550 square feet to more than 5,000 square feet.

The site will also include a communal infinity pool and sundeck.

Sorbo rose to fame in the ’90s after playing the titular character in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, as well as Captain Dylan Hunt in the science fiction series Andromeda.

The self-proclaimed conservative disappeared from the screens in the early 2000s and has stated that he was the very first victim of ‘cancel culture’.

“Well, I’m the first victim of cancel culture before I even knew it was a term,” Sorbo said last year during an interview with Fox News.

“Hollywood outed me 10 years ago because of things I posted on the internet.

“And I looked at my age and said, ‘Oh, you guys are mad that I’m posting the truth? Is that a problem for you?’

“Because they hate the truth, and they hate anyone who is Christian in Hollywood, anyone who is conservative.

So I am like a double leper to them. I’m like kryptonite or something.’

After leaving Hollywood, Sorbo and his wife founded Sorbo Studios, where he shoots a number of films every year.

Sorbo has previously been called out by former castmates for racist comments on social media and on set.

Xena: Warrior Princess actor Lucy Lawless publicly lambasted Sorbo during the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign for comments he made about then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

Lawless also recalled incidents on set in the 1990s that left the cast and crew “stunned” after Sorbo commented on the death of OJ Simpson’s wife, Nicole Brown.
