How does Robert Redford keep such a lustrous head of hair?

He's one of Hollywood's most well-loved legends and after 55 years in the business it's clear that Robert Redford's still got it. 

And while most of his fellow septuagenarians are either grey-haired or completely bald, the Out Of Africa actor showed off a full head of ginger hair as he touched down in Sydney on Thursday.

However, it was hard to tell whether Robert's lustrous hair is a result of a weave or merely a hair dye job, for the actor revealed some suspiciously contrasting two-toned tresses.

Wearing a white linen jacket, a V-neck T-shirt and brown loafers, the film director looked relatively sprightly despite a 14-hour flight from Los Angeles where he lives.

He stopped to talk to reporters who waited eagerly among fans for a glimpse of the star.

The twice-married director, whose most famous movie is perhaps Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, chatted animatedly to roving reporter Angela who interviewed him at the baggage carousel.

The Oscar-winner is in Sydney to play Dan Rather in a movie about the former CBS anchor's disputed report about President George W. Bush's National Guard service.

The drama, titled Truth, is adapted from the memoir Truth And Duty: The Press, The President, And The Privilege Of Power by former CBS producer Mary Mapes.

Australian actress Cate Blanchett is signed to play her.

The film will chronicle the gripping scandal that erupted after Rather's 2004 report for 60 Minutes II, produced by Mapes.

The story cited documents as proof of preferential treatment for Bush during the Vietnam War that were not authenticated by CBS. 

The papers alleged that the then-President's father, George H W Bush - whose own presidential term ran from 1989 until 1993 - pulled strings to get his son to the top of the list to join the Texas Air National Guard after graduating from Yale in 1968.

That meant he was safe from having to fight during the Vietnam War.

The documents sent to 60 Minutes were later said to be forgeries. 

Mapes was fired for allegedly failing to authenticate the documents, and the 60 Minutes II report, which aired in September 2004 was later retracted, leaving the revered newsman's career and reputation in tatters.

He retired just six months later after 24 years at the network. 

Father-of-four Robert is expected to be in town for the eight weeks and filming will begin any day. 

He is reportedly in discussions to join Disney’s remake of the 1977 classic children’s film Pete’s Dragon, sources have told EW.

The remake will step away from the original film’s setting, a 20th century fishing village, and will be set in a logging community.

In the remake, Pete is raised by Elliot the dragon after his parents die in a car accident.
