A FORMER Neighbours star looked almost unrecognisable from his time appearing on the hit Aussie soap opera.
Mark Little, best known for playing fan favourite Joe Mangel left his role in 2005 before reprising it for the soap’s finale last year.

During his time on the show, the actor appeared with short hair and a clean-shaven look.
But now he’s sporting a big bushy grey beard and long wavy silver locks.
Mark was seen on Saturday (June 17) talking about all things cricket at Edgbaston.
The 63-year-old had joined cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew on the View from the Boundary podcast to talk about his career, playing cricket, and his role in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Teasing the episode with a snap, the BBC’s Test Match Special Twitter page wrote: “ICYMI: View from the Boundary – Mark Little. @themarklittle aka Joe Mangel from Neighbours joined Jonathan Agnew at Edgbaston.”
Fans immediately flocked to the comments and shared their excitement.
One fan commented: “This is brilliant. Remember Mark coming to Billericay in 1999 to play in benefit match for Nasser Hussain. His leg spin was a lot better than he let on…”
“Very much enjoyed that chat – more Joe Mangel please,” a second tweeted.
A third wrote: “It was lovely to hear Mark. Neighbours greatly helped me when I went to meet my then-in-laws. I could correctly identify a Ute a mile away!”
“Thank you both for a very enjoyable View from the Boundary,” said a fourth.
A fifth penned: “Really enjoyed this chat, fascinating, thank you! (And yes, I watched Neighbours).”
Since leaving the soap, Mark moved to the Welsh countryside near Lake Vyrnwy in Powys.
He married his collaborator, Cath Farr, and they had two sons, stand-up comedian Angus H Little and musician Jasper Valentine.
