Fans of a beloved 90s boyband may have trouble recognising this member as he looks quite different more than two decades since making his debut in the music industry.

Now 46, the singer rose to fame as one-fifth of NSYNC, who went on to enjoy years of success after being formed in 1995.

This member was well-known for his spiky brown hair and clean-shaven appearance, but he's now ditched this in favour of an edgier look.

JC Chasez, real name Joshua Scott Chasez, now sports a big bushy beard and has grown out his wavy grey hair.

The star was a firm fan-favourite during his time in NSYNC and some people may be surprised with his new look, which he often shows off on Instagram.

Back in February, JC took a trip to London with his girlfriend Jennifer HuYoung to watch a performance of Cabaret in the West End.

Captioning the post, he wrote: "Cabaret in London. The performers are a vibe."

In the picture, the pair beamed for the camera as they stood outside the theatre. The singer kept a casual appearance, wearing a red beanie hat and dark blue bubble coat.

Jennifer looked stylish wearing a camel-coloured coat and chunky white jumper.

JC is also a big fan of race car driving and was able to enjoy a taster day in Arizona last year thanks to the Radford Racing School.

He shared a snap of himself sitting in one of their cars as he threw peace signs up at the camera, before being let loose on the track.

Captioning the post, he wrote: "We had a DAY at @radfordracingschool! Big thanks to @ant_anstead and @micahkessler33 for setting us up with our teacher Danny and instructors Broc and Alexander.

"Went from training wheels to hot wheels real fast."

NYSNC's debut album was released in 1998 and sold 11million copies in the United States alone.

Their second album was released in 2000 and quickly became the fastest-selling album of all time, with 2.4million copies sold in the first week. Thy held that record until 2015 when it was broken by Adele.

After NSYNC's Celebrity tour in 2002, they decided to take a break, before JC dropped his solo album, Schizophrenic.
