Home and Away star is unrecognizable with a British accent in resurfaced clips from his acting school days – so can you spot who it is?
Home and Away star Kawakawa Fox-Reo surprised fans on streaming platform Twitch when he shared throwback videos from his drama school days.
The New Zealand actor, 25, best known for playing Nikau Parata in the long-running soap opera, sported a mullet and a British accent in one of the clips.
He is better known to viewers because he speaks like an Aussie and has shorter hair.
‘They’re quite funny. Like, I watched them back today and I burst out laughing. Some of them are very bad,” he told his followers.
In one of the videos, he wore a navy blue suit, white shirt and blue tie while performing a scene from the 2008 black comedy In Bruges.

“So the first note I have is… boom, new haircut! The accent is dog poop and it’s kind of funny,” Kawakawa said, watching the old video.
“And the hair and the pimply face, bro…yeah.”
Another scene showed him with a buzz cut giving a monologue from the 2007 movie There Will Be Blood, starring Daniel Day-Lewis..

His Twitch followers joked about his resemblance to pop star Harry Styles in one of the acting tapes because of his long hair.
“Okay, now you look like Harry Styles back then,” said one fan, while another added, “Omg, I’ve never laughed so hard.”
“Your hair from back then reminds me of Harry Styles when One Direction first debuted,” said a third.
The throwback clips come after Kawakawa was forced to apologize when fans took offense to a recent post he shared on Instagram.
He posted a gym selfie on March 30 last year with the caption, “I love steroids.”
