A retired 90s pop star, famous for his string of hits, appeared completely unrecognisable with his VERY smooth features when he was photographed receiving a parking ticket.
With his gray hair and stubble, he seemed a world away from his days as a singer in a band, which he left in 2014.
The singer, now 54, maintained his handsome and youthful appearance, wearing blue-lensed sunglasses while casually slung a jacket over his shoulder.
After enjoying an alfresco coffee at The Ivy in London, the star was shocked to see a parking ticket on his classic Mercedes.
Do you know who it is?

Former Take That star Jason Orange seems to be enjoying life immensely since In 2014 he decided to leave the band and live a quieter life.
He was spotted on Thursday in a classic Mercedes, enjoying a drink outside in the sun.
The star also held a jacket from fashion brand Autograph in the affluent St John’s Wood area, according to photos obtained by MailOnline.
Jason showed off his youthful skin while sipping coffee, and his ultra-smooth complexion was on full display while soaking up the sun.
He rose to fame as part of the group’s original line-up, alongside fan favourites Gary Barlow (53), Howard Donald (56), Robbie Williams (50) and Mark Owen (52).
However, fans were disappointed when Robbie left the band in 1995 and went their separate ways a year later.
In 2005 the band decided to get back together, but without Robbie.
When Jason retired in 2014, he said, “I want to start by saying how proud I am of what we have accomplished together over the years.”

‘I’ve spent some of the best years of my life with Take That and I’d like to thank everyone who has been part of my journey, including my bandmates, who are like brothers to me.’
In 2023, Mark Jason mentioned it during an interview with The Times and claimed he felt like he “didn’t want to do it anymore.”
He said, ‘I think Jason felt like he didn’t want to do it anymore. But I’m not going to speak for him. He’s still here.’
‘The other day we were trying to figure out who the best joke teller in the band is and we remembered how Jason always laughed before he got to the punch line.’
Robbie rejoined the band in 2020 for a special performance during lockdown, but Jason decided not to participate.
In an interview with his bandmate he talks about MetroGary said, “We hear from Jason every now and then.”

“Then when you reply the email doesn’t work. It’s bigger than any of us know. Him cutting himself off from a life he just didn’t want anymore.”
“If you were 20, you would open the discussion, but he’s a grown man. You have to respect that he doesn’t want to do this. It was hard for us to see him go.”
Gary also admitted that Jason “didn’t want any creative involvement” and “wanted to leave.”
