Big Brother’s Chad Hurst looks unrecognisable in resurfaced photos

He’s the international model who has both housemates and viewers swooning.

And it appears Big Brother star Chad Hurst has gone to extreme lengths to transform himself into a chiselled hunk over the past 10 years.

The 27-year-old shared a throwback photo to Facebook in 2019, demonstrating how far he’d come since his days as a teenage party boy.

In the before photo, a 16-year-old Chad flashed the shaka sign while holding a drink and posing next to a friend.

He wore his platinum blond hair spiked up, and it was certainly in stark contrast to the darker undercut he sports today.

In the comments section, a friend said that Chad looked like he would have been quite a character in his younger days.

He agreed, comparing himself to notorious party boy and former Big Brother star Corey Worthington.

Before posing for the likes of Vogue Australia and GQ Magazine, Chad experimented with a number of looks.

One throwback photo shows him rocking a full buzz cut and white earrings.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Chad explained that he shaved off his hair to support his girlfriend whose mother had cancer at the time. 

The old photos also reveal Chad has had several tattoos removed over the course of his modelling career.

These days, he divides his time between photo shoots in Los Angeles and working as a roofer and personal trainer in Bondi, Sydney while looking after his mother.

Big Brother continues Sunday at 7pm on Channel Seven
