NINETIES boyband fans will be left doing a double take when they realize who this singer is.
The pop star, 52, is now unrecognizable almost three decades on since he first found fame.

In a new video, which has been filmed to promote the band’s album, he has been captured sitting in an empty bath tub.
His facial hair is now more prominent and almost white and he is wearing a blue sweater and a tweed flat cap in the footage.
But do you know who it is?
The man in question is Justin Jeffre from 98 Degrees.
Justin and his 98 Degrees co-stars – brothers Nick and Drew Lachey and Jeff Timmons – have recently reunited and recorded some of their best hits.
This includes a cover of the Mark Wills track I Do (Cherish You), which the band released in July 1999.
The song reached number 13 in the Billboard Hot 100 and was included on the soundtrack for the British movie Notting Hill, which starred Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant.
In 98 Degrees’ music video for the song, Justin was seen proposing to a woman as she enjoyed a bubble bath.
Fans have gone wild for the nostalgic reference after he and Drew mimed along to I Do (Cherish You) to celebrate the band’s comeback.
A caption alongside the Instagram clip read, “If you’re asking if we love you, we do!
“And if you’re asking where to listen to ‘I Do’, the answer is anywhere and everywhere!
“Drop a comment with your favorite place to sing your heart out!”
Replying, one excited 98 Degrees fan said, “Justin in the bathtub!!!!! Perfect!”
Another added, “Justin in a bathtub 🛁🤣 definitely accurate!”
A third mused, “Bathtub of course!”
And someone else wrote, “BATHTUB!” #IYKYK [If You Know You Know].”
OLD FRIENDS
Justin and his bandmates all hail from Ohio but were put together as a band by Jeff in Los Angeles in the late 90s.
They were later snapped up by a record label and had achieved 8 top 40 singles by 2000.
In 1999, they provided guest vocals on Mariah Carey‘s song Thank God I Found You and achieved a Number 1 and a Grammy Award nomination.
The group split in 2002.
Still riding high on the back of 98 Degrees’ fame, 51-year-old Nick married pop star Jessica Simpson that same year and they starred together in the MTV reality show Newlyweds.
Drew, 48, and his wife Leah, who he is still married to, were also regulars on Newlyweds.
Nick and Jessica split in 2006 and he has since remarried. He and wife Vanessa Lachey present the Netflix show Love Is Blind together.
98 Degrees reformed in 2012 and have worked on and off together over the years.
The band are now firmly back together and have recorded a new album, Full Circle. At the end of May, they travelled to Manila to perform a reunion show.
They will be touring across Canada next month before playing several dates in New Jersey, New York and California in August.
