If I said...

Billy Ocean.


You've probably got a picture in your mind, something like this;






Right?


Now, if I was to show you this;






You're probably thinking the same thing I did when I first saw him like this.

"Whoah"


Who else has been out of the public eye, only to return some years later and looked shockingly different to you?

He was performing on something last year...I think Jools Holland.
Yep,I was pretty shocked too.

Not really what you're asking but I saw some old pics of Lady Ga Ga the other day...out of character...really timid looking gal.

He was performing on something last year...I think Jools Holland.
Yep,I was pretty shocked too.

I think that's where I saw him - it came up in conversation yesterday and reminded me.

Do you know, I'm going to see Billy Ocean in May!...Well, I'm going on a Hen Weekend to Butlins (Bognor Regis) with friends, and he will be performing there.

Please make no comments about the fact i'm going on hen weekend, I'm mortified enough!

[Florence Fennel]

Wow - when the going gets tough an image change is in order? I remember being shocked at seeing the change in Cat Stevens, he even changed his name and his religion as well as his appearance.

Mickey Rourke, I use to think he was well dishy...but now he looks like Frankenstein's monster. Enough said!!

[HeyWayne]

I saw Ben Affleck on something this morning too - looked like Grizzly Adams.

[ginger ninger]

What about Jennifer Gray from Dirty Dancing??

[CaroltheCarrot]

pumpkin beck ,you will love him,
I have seen him twice recently and he is brill
or is it me thats just sad!!!
he still sounds the same

[bobleponge]

I cant really comment on people who "come back" as it were, as I only really know sports stars, and they just look the same but fatter in general.
I was somewhat surprised though when I first saw Steve Wright instead of hearing him. Not at all what I thought he would have looked like.

[northepaul]

I was shocked when I saw this picture of David Duchovny this year...!!
He looks just the same as 1997!!

Billy Ocean was singing on "Loose Women" yesterday, the song "Suddenly" and it was absolutely beautiful. His voice hasn't done a runner à la Whitney Houston and he was lovely. I'd LOVE to see him in concert.

Kenny Rogers... before & after:



Not sure he ever went away, but I hadn't seen him in a while then he appeared on American Idol a few years ago.

[Guttata]

Try Bonnie Tyler. Talk about a shocker. What has she done to her self? Looks like a tad over doing it on the botox to me. My surprise is she can sing in French, not that I understand a word of it but the woman she sings with has got a great voice for a Bonnie Tyler song.

[Bigmallly]

I found this a bit of a shock.
