A famous music mogul looks worlds away from his usual slick clean cut image as an old throwback snap was unearthed.
The 64-year-old businessman, who has been the answer to many aspiring artists over the last two decades, looks unrecognisable with his jet-black wavy long locks.
With his slender build and pearly white Hollywood smile yet to appear, the screen star looks drastically different from his brilliant white smile and clean shaven appearance.

It’s Simon Cowell.
The record executive, who has been a hard-to-please judge on Pop Idol, The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, is usually easy to pick out of a crowd.
But this resurfaced picture of the entrepreneur has life-long fans taking a double glance as his short back and sides hairdo didn’t become trendy until the 2010s.
Simon was pictured in his younger years soaking up the sun on holiday.
He wore a pair of white shorts, snazzy sunglasses and had his hair grown much longer than we are used to.
But this isn’t the only time this week that his ever changing appearance has shocked his loyal followers.
Simon left fans in shock with his ‘frozen’ appearance on the latest episode of Saturday Night Takeaway.
The media mogul made an appearance on the first episode of the new series of Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly’s show.

However, viewers found it difficult to focus on what he was saying and were more concerned about his appearance.
Simon has previously denied having a face lift but admitted to regretting his extensive use of Botox.
Taking to X, several viewers commented on his looks, with one writing: ‘Is that definitely Simon Cowell? He looks like a melting Ken Doll?’
‘Simon Cowell looks more and more like a cartoon every time I see him,’
‘Simon Cowell doesn’t look like Simon Cowell anymore.’
‘Not sure Simon Cowell has aged gracefully!’
Fellow guest Stephen Merchant also couldn’t resist commenting on Simon’s appearance during the show.
Simon was pranked by Ant and Dec as they had him pulled over by fake police while on his bike in Malibu.
Commenting on the clip, Stephen, 49, joked: ‘I didn’t like it… I loved it. that was my Simon impression it wasn’t very convincing because my face moved.’
The comedian’s quip also drew a swift response from viewers with one writing: ‘Stephen Merchant just propper mugged off Simon Cowell then.’
Another wrote: ‘Ahaha Stephen Merchant “it’s not quite convincing because my face moved” after his Simon Cowell impression.’
On the show, Ant and Dec headed to Los Angeles for an unmissable Undercover segment, during which they target an unsuspecting Simon outside his Californian bolt-hole.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge was originally singled out for their very first Undercover prank – a segment that involves duping celebrities into bizarre predicaments – while he was working on US reality show American Idol.
Ant said: ‘It was even sweeter getting him the second time round because we also got him during his downtime as he’s riding his bike around Malibu, it’s very, very funny.’
‘We are ending the Undercovers where we started… with Simon Cowell! Our first ever Undercover was on Simon in LA when he was a judge on American Idol.
‘So we’ve gone back and got Simon Cowell again. We went out to LA and gave him the day from hell whilst he was judging on America’s Got Talent.’
