The ’90s hunk looks unrecognizable with a bushy gray beard after giving up his pop career for radio play, but can you guess who he is?
One of the most beloved pop heartthrobs of the 1990s looks unrecognizable after leaving his boy band career behind.
The 43-year-old entertainer has ditched his clean-shaven look in favor of a thick gray beard after pursuing a career in radio.
This singer rose to stardom over 20 years ago as part of one of the biggest boy bands in the country, but can you guess who he is?
New Look: One of the most beloved pop heartthrobs of the 1990s looks unrecognizable after leaving his boy band career behind and sports a bushy gray beard, but do you know who he is?
It’s Scott Robinson, from the ’90s boy band 5ive.
Scott performed alongside Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, Jason ‘J’ Brown and Abz Love as a member of the beloved group, earning thousands of fans.
Although he has left his pop career behind, Scott has remained in the world of music and now hosts the evening show The Big Drive Home on Radio Essex.
He also co-hosts The A to Z of Men podcast with DJ Chris Brooks.

Scott has since grown a large gray beard, which means he looks markedly different from the bare-faced look he sported during his 55 days.
He has also settled into married life with his wife Kerry, with the couple tying the knot the day after 5ive split in 2001.
The couple are also the proud parents of four children, two twin sons and two daughters.
Iconic: The band sold 1.6 million albums and 2.4 million singles before breaking up in 2001, but three members still regularly reunite for shows across the country.
Last September, Scott shared a sweet tribute to his wife Kerry as they celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary.
He wrote: ’21 years [of] marriage today. Married to this absolutely wonderful woman kerry_robinson83
‘Honestly, I don’t know what I would do without you. I love you happy xxx anniversary.’

Scott got his big break when he first auditioned for 5ive in 1997, beating out over 3,000 other applicants, including Russell Brand.
The band sold 1.6 million albums and 2.4 million singles before breaking up in 2001.
In a recent interview with The Sun, Scott opened up about his fun time with the boy band, revealing that at the height of their fame they were partying with Oasis.
But far from a drunken romp, the boys spent the night playing Bop It! together.

He said: ‘Liam said, ‘Go ahead guys, this game is absolutely legendary!’
“We’re standing in a circle playing Bop It with Liam Gallagher and he’s getting so mad he’s not winning.”
Since then, 5ive has dwindled to just a trio of members, and they occasionally get together to perform across the country, including a show at Might Hoopla Weekender.
In March, the band will join the 90s Baby Pop UK tour with other acts including 911, members of S Club and Liberty X.
Mr. & Mrs.: He’s also settled into married life with his wife Kerry, with the couple tying the knot the day after 5ive split in 2001.
