Paul Hollywood has sent his social media followers into meltdown as he looked unrecognisable in a mind-blowing blast from the past.
The 54-year-old Great British Bake Off star shared the throwback on Wednesday, leaving his fans aghast at how different he looked.
His throwback snap saw the TV star rocking long brunette locks while holding his cat as a teenager.
He looked completely different as he posed for the old-school photograph, leaving his fans stunned as they insisted the snap of the young Paul looked nothing like the now-professional baker.

He hid behind his impressive floppy fringe as he posed up a storm for the snap.
It was also interesting to note that Paul went to art school as a young man, before he embarked on his career in baking, as the star referred to his education in the caption.
One recognisable feature of a fresh-faced Paul Hollywood was his icy pose, the pouting stare similar to one he famously has plastered across his face during episodes of GBBO.

Hollywood’s devoted followers rushed to leave a comment on the old photograph, his fans astounded at how different past Paul looked compared to the silver fox we see today.

A third added: “Wow, doesn’t not look you.”
“I can’t actually believe thats you,” said a fourth Paul Hollywood fan.
Great British Bake Off 2018 winner Rahul Mandal commented on Paul’s likeness to GBBO host Noel Fielding, who is well known for his iconic long hair.
