Former Emmerdale star Mike Parr looks completely unrecognisable from his time in the ITV soap as he posted a new selfie showing off his look.
Mike played Ross Barton for over five years in 736 episodes of the show, stepping away after a number of dramatic storylines in 2018.
Mike was nominated for 'Sexiest Male' on a number of occasions by viewers - but we hadn't really seen much of him since he left the Dales four years ago.
That was until he posed for a dramatic topless selfie on his Instagram, with the 35-year-old looking completely different from the fresh-faced Ross we knew on screen.
Mike captioned the Instagram post: "Paul Sykes vibes."
Many of his near 250,000 followers took to the comments with shock and awe, with one writing: "No way has he aged this much in such a short space of time, I reckon this is make up or prosthetics for a part he’s playing"
A second said: "I'm getting Freddie Mercury vibes...it's definitely the task."
While a third commented: "Is this for a part, prosthetics? Make up? I’m confused"
Mike's time on Emmerdale saw Ross turn from villain to hero, including getting shot, his tragic relationship with police officer Donna and faking his own death.
He left in the aftermath of the White family's fatal car crash, with producers keeping hopes of a return alive by having Ross move to Liverpool with Rebecca.
Since leaving, his most famous credit has been in the Sky One police series Bulletproof, with Mike popping up in season two as Ben.
