Best known for playing Jamie Mitchell in EastEnders, Jack Ryder shot to fame for his pin-up good looks and trademark floppy blonde hair.
That was 14 years ago and clearly, a lot has changed. But, as this photos shared by pal Dean Gaffney shows, the star looks completely different these days.
Dean told his followers that he almost didn’t recognise his ex co-star, which he can hardly be blamed for.
“Wow what a change... Love this guy ... But how many of you will know who this is.....#ryder!”
He’s even sporting a beard these days, which is a stark difference from the baby-face of old.
Jack spends his time behind the camera these days, with the former soap star working as a director, taking the reins of The Full Monty touring production.
Many of you will remember that Jack was married to Kym Marsh for eight years, with the couple divorcing in 2009.
But what do you reckon? How do you like Jack Ryder’s new look?
