Shameless star Elliott Tittensor looks completely different from his days playing young tearaway Carl Gallagher on the hit Channel 4 drama. The 33-year-old Manchester native played his character from 2008 to 2013 and starred alongside his actor David Threlfall who portrayed his foul-mouthed and dishevelled on-screen dad and shared the role with his real-life brother Luke.
Years on from his acting debut, Elliot appears to have ditched his clean-shaven look as he sported a long and scruffy beard, ponytail, and colorful tattoos in one of his recent Instagram photos.
The staple show followed the misadventures of the dysfunctional Gallagher family who lived in a lousy council estate flat in Manchester. When he appeared on the popular show, the TV actor was instantly recognisable due to his short dark hair and shabby look, including almost always wearing a tracksuit. The loud-mouthed and mischievous teenager was often seen in heaps of trouble - and was once even arrested.
