The star of the TV show Home And Away, Ada Nicodemou, posted a sweet childhood picture to Instagram on Wednesday.
The 23-year Leah Patterson-Baker veteran of the serial opera shocked fans with a throwback photo from her school days.
Ada was smiling in the adorable picture while wearing her school clothes.
Her dark hair had previously been lustrous and straight, but it was now naturally curly with a tiny feathery fringe.
The young Ada appeared really pleased to be having her school portrait taken, flaunting her youthful skin and brown eyes.
Together with her gingham blue suit, she had a blue lace bow in her dark brown hair that was reminiscent of Madonna.
Ada, 45, a photographer, posted the image on Wednesday with the message, “What do we think of this young girl? How about the hair? followed by two smiley faces giggling.
Friends and admirers raced to the comments, many expressing shock that the image is of a young Ada and others marveling at her curly hair.
What’s your secret, you haven’t aged a day, one fan enquired…
Very envious.
While another remarked, “You can certainly tell it’s you. Do you still have your natural curls? Nice image xx’
Her Home And Away co-stars were gushing over the cute picture as well.
I try to have my hair like that every day!!!!,” said Lynne McGranger, who plays Irene Roberts.
Georgie Parker said, “I LOVE the hair,” and Demi Harman replied, “Bring back the hair,” along with three heart-eye emojis.
