The 27-year-old TV star is unrecognizable in the upside-down photo

GREAT British Bakeoff’s Paul Hollywood has stunned fans with a voluptuous snap reminiscent of his younger days.

He wore a light-colored T-shirt, a shell necklace, and had his dark hair swept to one side.

The Channel 4 favorite revealed the photo from when he was about 27 years old just before he moved to Cyprus for six years.

Paul captioned the Instagram post: “Brother just sent me this from 92/93 I think, no beard!! 😂.”

His fans couldn’t believe how different he looked, but agreed that he still looked handsome then and now.

“Omg so hot,” commented one fan.

Another added: “Always handsome 🔥🔥.”

And a third wrote: “Men become sexier as they get older 😍.”

Paul’s response photo comes after Bake Off bosses trademarked his iconic ‘Hollywood Handshake’.

Love Productions – the company that produced Bake Off – has now trademarked the term with the aim of putting it in a long line.

Judge Paul Hollywood’s congratulatory gesture could end up with everything from kitchen tools to toys and children’s clothing.

A television insider said: “This is not only a reflection of Paul’s continued popularity but also Bake Off’s continued success story.

“It came out in 2010 but 12 years later, it’s still going strong and the creators, Love Productions, are still developing the brand.

This is just another ingenious combination that is sure to impress fans of the show and in Paul’s army of fans. “

Love Productions has run a string of spin-offs from celebrity specials to shows specifically for young bakers.

And that’s on top of other TV favorites that have been inspired by the competition, including Great British Bee and The Great Pottery Throw Down.
