Once famous for playing Will McKenzie in The Inbetweeners, Simon Bird is now unrecognisable as he films a new Channel 4 comedy.
The actor, who has also played Adam Goodman in Friday Night Dinner, hardly resembles the awkward schoolboy character he portrayed across three series and two movies.
As reported by the Sun, Simon no longer sports his trademark specs. Instead, he has been pictured with a bowl-cut wig and a beard.
The 37-year-old also wore an ill-fitting, unflattering grey suit during filming for his new role, which saw him getting into a clapped-out motor.
Simon will star in an upcoming Channel 4 comedy series called Everyone Else Burns.
The six-part series, which will air later this year, will explore life in a hyper-religious community and ask the question: how does an idiosyncratic family navigating modern day life protect themselves from eternal hell fire?
Other cast members alongside Simon include Kate O'Flynn, Amy James-Kelly, Kadiff Kirwan and Harry Connor.
However, Simon will always be remembered for his role in The Inbetweeners.
The show ran for three series from 2008 - 2010 and launched the careers of Simon and fellow actors Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison.
The latter, who played Neil Sutherland, also looks very different.
In March, the star admitted he doesn’t see a revival of the hit E4 show “ever happening” during an appearance on Lorraine.
The series spawned two spin-off movies, released in 2011 and 2014, both proving to be box-office hits.
A reunion special took place in 2019, titled Fwends Reunited.
However, the one-off special was poorly received and even prompted an apology from James Buckley, who played Jay Cartwright.
