Home and Away star is unrecognizable in British accent in resurfaced clips from his drama school days – so can you tell who it is?
Home-Away star Kawakawa Fox-Reo surprised fans on streaming platform Twitch when he shared throwback videos from his drama school days.
The 25-year-old New Zealand actor, best known for playing Nikau Parata on the long-running soap opera, wore a mullet and British accent in one of the clips.
He is better known to viewers for speaking like an Aussie and having shorter hair.
“You’re pretty funny. Like I looked at her today and broke out. Some of them suck very badly,” he told his followers.
In one of the videos, he wore a navy blue suit, white shirt and blue tie while performing a scene from the 2008 black comedy In Bruges.

“So the first note I have is… boom, new haircut! The accent is dog**t and it’s kinda funny,” Kawakawa said while watching the old video.
“And the hair and pimply face, brother…yes.”
Another scene showed him with a buzzcut delivering a monologue from the 2007 film There Will Be Blood, starring Daniel Day-Lewis.

His Twitch followers joked about his resemblance to pop star Harry Styles in one of the acting tapes because of his long hair.
“Okay now you look like Harry Styles did back then,” one fan said, while another added, “Omg I’ve never laughed like that.”
“Your hair from back then reminds me of Harry Styles when One Direction first debuted,” said a third.
The throwback clips come after Kawakawa was forced to apologize after fans slammed a post he recently shared on Instagram.
He posted a gym selfie on March 30 last year and captioned it, “I love steroids.”

The post was deleted when Channel Seven became aware of it.
“I know I made a serious mistake with this post and I deleted it,” Kawakawa told The Daily Telegraph.
“I realize my attempt at humor was misguided and misleading and I sincerely apologize.”
The offending post received more than 2,000 likes and 36 comments over the 12 days before it was eventually deleted.
