Lizzie McGuire's Robert Carradine looks unrecognisable in rare appearance with co-stars

Robert Carradine met up with a number of his Lizzie McGuire co-stars almost two decades on from the hit show.

And the 69-year-old, who played Lizzie's dad, showed off an unrecognisable look as he set on the couch to chat on the show-related podcast which is headed up by Jake Thomas, who played Lizzie's brother Matt on the popular series.

Jake, 33, started the podcast with pal Davida Williams, 36, who took on the role as Lizzie's enemy on the Disney Channel.

The pair were pleased to welcome Robert to the latest of their Living Lizzie: A Very McGuire Podcast sessions which is also videoed for their YouTube channel.

And Robert's appearance would have shocked avid fans of the show, with him no longer sporting his trim figure and dark locks.

However, the star, who had kept his trademark glasses and flaunted the same hairstyle albeit greyer in colour was thrilled to catch up with the former child stars.

A clip of the latest episode which features Robert dropped at the weekend and Jake is seen greeting his former dad on the show.

""How's it going? It's been a while," Jake said. before Robert pleasantly replied: "Good. You're looking 20 years older."

"Ah," Jake jokingly groaned. "Don't remind me."

Robert quietly agreed before asking: "I am too, right?" he asked. "I mean yeah."

But Jake, in a way to swerve any insulting comments that could slip out, responded: "To me, you've always just been the adult."

They went on to discuss first landing their famous roles, with Robert admitting when he first auditioned for the show he didn't think he stood a chance in being cast.

However, he revealed that after he left the studios in West Los Angeles, he was surprised to receive an invite back before eventually being picked .

The appearance on the podcast was a rare chance for fans to see Robert as he looks now. The star's social media posts are full of throwback snaps of him and his family and his last "current" photo came in December 2021.

However, he was dressed up as Santa Claus for the snap, yet again hiding his current identity.
