A 70’s film legend and Golden Globe nominee looks unrecognisable.
The actor is known for his depiction of Jesus in an iconic 70s film which was produced as an adaption of a series of rock gigs.
The role was so well performed that he was nominated for two Golden Globes – one for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy and one for Most Promising Newcomer.
The rockstar started out as a drummer and soon turned into a rockstar and then award nominated actor.
Known for his dream thick blonde bob and goatie, this actor looks very different with his thinner locks, oval glasses and bushy mustache.
But can you guess who it is?

Ted was born on 20 September 1943 in Ranger, Texas, USA and has been married to Leeyan Granger since 1 May 1981. They have two children.
The performer and his group, The Teddy Neeley Five, recorded an album titled Teddy Neeley.
They played the club circuit for years, and their name (on a marquee) appeared in the pilot episode of Dragnet 1967.
Unfortunately for Ted when he was nominated for his Golden Globes, he was pipped to the Best Actor gong by George Segal, who won for his turn in A Touch of Class.

And he also lost out in the Best Newcomer category as that taken home by American Graffiti actor Paul Le Mat.
While Ted may have gone home empty handed on the night, his star-making turn had a big impact on fans.
Ted has reprised his role from the musical many times over the years, and has launched his own highly successful touring company in the 1990s.
More recently, Ted also embarked on a tour to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the film.
This involved a screening of the biblical- based musical followed by a meet-and-greet sessions with him afterwards.
He also had a small role in the Quentin Tarantino move Django Unchained.
