Emmerdale star Mike Parr left fans in shock over the weekend, after he shared a snap of his new look.

The actor, who portrayed Ross Barton on the ITV soap, took to social media post a selfie.

The 35-year-old stared dramatically at the camera as he posed for the pic, and compared himself to boxer Paul Sykes.

‘Paul Sykes vibes,’ he wrote on Instagram.

Former Emmerdale actress Natalie Anderson, who played Alicia, compared her co-star’s new look to Magnum PI star Tom Selleck , as did several other social media users.

Fans were stunned by Mike’s new look, with one writing: ‘good lord’, while another added: ‘It suits you!’.

Mike portrayed Ross in Emmerdale between 2013 and 2018.

Ross featured in a number of major storylines, and is mostly remembered for his showdown with brother Pete (Anthony Quinlan), in which viewers thought Ross ended up dead.

Mike even admitted that he’d left Emmerdale at the time, which led to outcry, as viewers hoped that he would someday make a return.

A twist, however, did occur, as Ross was later revealed to be alive and well.

Ross made his final appearance in November 2018. Mike, meanwhile, has gone on to star in an episode of Bulletproof, as well as movie Our Home.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV.
