Mitch Hewer, who played Maxxie Oliver in the popular series Skins, is almost unrecognisable over two decades later.
The actress, now 34, participated in the first two seasons of E4’s adolescent drama, which premiered in 2007.
He participated in the show’s ‘first generation’ alongside Nicholas Hoult, Dev Patel, Daniel Kaluuya, and Joe Dempsie.
His character was a talented dancer who enjoyed ‘toast, guys, dancing, sketching, Arcade Fire, and the Sistine Chapel’.
Mitch, who last appeared as Maxxie in 2008, now has a beard instead of his characteristic blonde hair.
Mitch, who frequently shares updates about his life on social media, has lately uploaded photographs of himself with his family and of himself working out.
His most recent photos, posted in December 2023, show him and his family enjoying the sights of Disneyland Paris.
Mitch and his partner Tash, a social worker, had their daughter Aria Isabella in December 2021.
When announcing her birth, he commented the photo: ‘This little pout.’
Since then, Mitch has shared other images with his daughter and girlfriend, including several from summer vacations in recent years.
He also informs followers on his personal and professional life on TikTok and YouTube, as well as providing videos through Cameo.

Some of his previous videos on social media networks show him watching and responding to old episodes of Skins.
Mitch left the series in 2008 and went on to play Danny Miller in Britannia High the following year.
From 2016 to 2017, he portrayed Mickey Ellisson on Casualty.
He has also been on Xtra Factor, This Morning, Richard and Judy’s New Position, and the BBC comedy show Never Mind the Buzzcocks with team captain Davina McCall and singer Alesha Dixon.
In December 2009, he appeared in the musical Never Forget, which was based on the songs of boyband Take That.
In 2014, he played Ben in Nightlight and Steven Stevens in Behaving Badly, a cinematic adaption of Ric Browde’s novel While I’m Dead, Feed the Dog.
Skins, created by father-son team Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain, follows the lives of a group of adolescents in Bristol over the course of two years in sixth form.
Its contentious plotlines tackled problems such as dysfunctional families, mental illness (including depression, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and bipolar disorder), adolescent sexuality, gender, substance misuse, death, and bullying.
Skins is streaming on Channel 4.
