Throwback Photo Shows TV Fashion Icon With A Bowl Cut As A Child

Can you guess who it is?

A style icon looked unrecognisable after sharing a throwback image of his childhood self.

The fashion icon, who took to Instagram to share the adorable image with his 1 million followers, led fans to rush to the comments in awe of his young self.

In the throwback picture, which was taken in the early 80s, he pulled off a bowl cut.

He’s best known for dishing out all of his fashion tips and tricks and has made frequent appearances on ITV’s This Morning.

The style guru has assisted numerous brides Say Yes To The Dress with his valuable expert knowledge.

That’s right, It’s Gok Wan…

He captioned his post: ‘Night everyone! Hope this picture, taken in the early 80s gives you the sweetest of dreams and my basin haircut (that momma wan cut with kitchen scissors) doesn’t give you nightmares’.

Fans wrote that it was cheeky and adorable and that nothing had changed.

He said that he thought we could all relate to their mum’s dodgy haircut.

However, the image of Gok was so adorable and so charming.

It’s not the first time Gok, also known as Kowkhyn Wan, has shared throwback pictures from his youth.

The TV presenter, 48, who served as an agony uncle on This Morning, shared a picture of himself as a chubby 21-year-old while answering a caller’s question about body image.

The caller wanted advice on body confidence with Gok saying that he’d thought about the question a lot because when he was younger, he’d spoken about this publicly.

He said that he’d actually struggled with his weight and still did and that he’ll always live with his eating disorder as a result of it. He said that he was 21 stone as a kid and then he lost all his weight from being really big to being painfully thin.

He said the difference was that when he looked at that picture now he didn’t see size or weight, what he saw was the same person.

The fashion consultant has long been open about his struggles with his body image, saying he became overweight while working in his family’s Chinese restaurant in Leicester, and the star said he didn’t begin to lose weight until he moved to London to attend drama school and saw people who looked different to him.

Even when you look at the image of him when he was very much younger you can instantly tell it’s Gok because of his warm smile and he always looks like he’s a very considerate person.

I especially like Gok Wan. He was an overweight child, so I understand how numerous people might relate to him who have been bullied horrendously because of their weight.

My vision on life is pretty broad, therefore I like to address specific subjects that intrigue me. Therefore I really appreciate the world of politics, though I have no actual views on who I will vote for, that I will not tell you, so please do not ask! I am like an observation station when it comes to writing, and I simply take the news and make it my own. I have no expectations, I simply love to write, and I know this seems really odd, but I don't get paid for it, I really like what I do and since I am never under any pressure, I constantly find that I write much better, rather than being blanketed under masses of paperwork and articles that I am on a deadline to complete. The chances are, that whilst all other journalists are out there, ripping their hair out, attempting to get their articles completed, I'm simply rambling along at my convenience creating my perfect piece. I guess it must look pretty unpleasant to some of you that I work for nothing, perhaps even brutal. Perhaps I have an obvious disregard for authority, I have no idea, but I would sooner be working for myself, than under somebody else, excuse the pun! Small I maybe, but substantial I will become, eventually. My desk is the most chaotic mess, though surprisingly I know where everything is, and I think that I would be quite unsuited for a desk job. My views on matters vary and I am extremely open-minded to the stuff that I write about, but what I write about is the truth and getting it out there, because the people must be acquainted. Though I am quite entertained by what goes on in the world. My spotlight is mostly to do with politics, though I do write other material as well, but it's essentially politics that I am involved in, and I tend to concentrate my attention on that, however, information is essential. If you have information the possibilities are endless because you are only limited by your own imagination...
