EastEnders actress Lorraine Stanley appeared in a Tom Hardy film before starring in the soap - and she looks very different.
The 45-year-old star made her first appearance as Karen Taylor on Albert Square back in 2017.
But before being cast for the BBC soap, she was seen in a number of roles, including crime thriller Legend in 2015 with the hunky A-list actor.
Lorraine appeared in the biographical crime thriller which saw Tom play twins Ronnie and Reggie Kray, two of London's most dreaded gangsters.
Lorraine looked almost unrecognisable as she had a blonde bob in the film, which saw her work as a barmaid.
These days, Lorraine has long hair and looks different to her character in Legend.
Her EastEnders character Karen is known for her unkempt hair, scruffy clothes, and for constantly having her bra strap halfway down her arm. However, she is not short of glam social media posts that prove she is a far cry from her on-screen persona.
The soap actress had a hair transformation last year - and fans loved it.
In one Instagram image, where Lorraine showed off her sleek new do, Lorraine thanked her hairdresser as she opened up about being 'all natural' in the make-up-free snap.
"Ooh Betty! get me back to blonde, it’s been a while,no make up,all natural....except the bleach," she penned alongside the cheerful snap. "Thankyou @amydavidsonhair for a lovely time in Lincoln,I was a proper tourist with my camera Nancy had fun! lots of love and see you all soon xxx."
In the post, that Lorraine shared with her Instagram followers, the actor posed alongside her hairdresser while showing off her locks.
The star was swiftly inundated with compliments as fans flocked to hair their approval for Lorraine's new hair.
"Wow you look absolutely beautiful as always and you're hair looks so amazing," added one fan.
"Goddess. Wow,wow,wow...blondes have more fun!" added a second.
In an earlier Instagram story, Lorraine also showed off her hair transformation in the making as she unveiled a candid snap with several foils piled up on her head.
