Did Ben Affleck really look like this in the 80s?

Someone get him to the barbers.

Ben Affleck: still hot, even with a beard

You know that feeling when somebody shares a throw back picture of you when you had hair like a poodle and wore baggy purple t-shirts?

Just us?

Well that is exactly how Ben Affleck will be feeling today when he realises that a rather hilarious picture of him has been brought to the fore, and we thank the gods for bringing us such mirth on a Friday.

Before he was a ripped and well-preened Batman, Ben Affleck starred alongside Blake Lively in crime thriller, The Town.

But earlier still, back in the 80s when big hair and bigger grins were the crux of any successful sitcom, Ben starred in US TV show Against The Grain alongside Blake’s sister, Robyn.

Because the internet is a great way to humiliate your mates with dodgy old pictures, Robyn has shared the snap on her Instagram to prove that his style hasn’t always been so sharp.

And it’s Insta-gold.

The older Lively said: “Before #BenAffleck was Batman he was just my darling brother in a series called #againstthegrain #3degreesofbaconAffleck”.

Isn’t it great when a celeb’s awful pre-fame style comes back to haunt them?

YOU’RE WELCOME GUYS. Sorry Ben.
