Home and Away star Kawakawa Fox-Reo looked unrecognisable in a series of resurfaced videos from when he was in drama school. <\/p>\n

The actor played Nikau Parata from 2020 to 2023, bidding farewell to Summer Bay earlier this year to start a new life in New York with girlfriend Bella Nixon (Courtney Miller). During Friday's (October 6) episode of the Channel 5 soap, the character cropped up again after getting in contact with his uncle Tane (Ethan Browne).<\/p>\n

Nikau revealed that his mum had been in an accident and broken her leg and collarbone as a result. He explained that he was flying out to New Zealand alongside Bella to be with her, prompting Tane to do the same.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Long before landing the role of Nikau, the actor attended drama school and shared a series of throwback videos on streaming platform Twitch. In one of the videos, the New Zealand-born star had a mullet and a British accent, making him worlds away from the character he played for three years.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Commenting on the clips, Kawakawa laughed: "They're pretty funny. Like, I was watching them back today and I was cracking up. Some of them are very s**t." In another video, the star sported a navy suit and blue tie while as he acted out a scene from the 2008 black comedy In Bruges.<\/p>\n

"So the first note that I have is… boom, new haircut! The accent is dog s**t and it's kind of funny," Kawakawa told his followers. "And the hair and the pimply face, bro… yeah."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

His followers couldn't help but compare him to singer Harry Styles due to his long hair in one of the types. One fan commented: "Okay, now you look like Harry Styles back then." <\/p>\n

A second added: "Omg, I've never laughed so hard." While a third echoed: "Your hair back then reminds me of Harry Styles when One Direction first debuted."<\/p>\n

Following his exit on Home and Away, Courtney paid tribute to her co-star with a behind-the-scenes snap from their final scene together.<\/p>\n

"These past three and a bit years were a fun ride," the actress gushed, adding: "It was so effortless for Bella to Love you. You\u2019ll be missed."<\/p>\n
