Neighbours icon Joe Mangel's remote life as he looks unrecognisable in new role
Neighbours legend Mark Little is now living in little Welsh farmhouse miles from anywhere – and he couldn't be happier.
Mark, 63, was best known for playing Ramsey Street favourite Joe Mangel. He left the soap in 2005 but later briefly reprised his role last year, brining Mark back to viewers' screens for the soap's finale.
During his time as Joe, actor Mark sported a short, dark hair 'do and a clean shaven look. But, he now looks very different to how Neighbours fans would recognise him, donning long silver, wavy locks and a full silver beard.
Since leaving the soap, not only has Mark taken on a new look but he's embarked on a new lifestyle, too.
Mark recently appeared on the BBC as he attended the cricket at Edgbaston for a Test match special.

After leaving the show, Mark went on to take over from Chris Evans to co-present the Big Breakfast with Zoe Ball.
He then went on to star in numerous films and acclaimed theatre shows - winning a Laurence Olivier Award in 2000 for his one man show.
But, he did at one point leave his life of showbiz behind to opt for a quieter way to spend his days.

Mark has been an increasingly vocal political activist and anti-fascism campaigner in recent years, reports Wales Online.
He couldn't love life any more in his farmhouse and he tweeted: "I have been way out of the loop. And what a loopy loop it is.
"We have moved HQ and have been finessing a magic acre in the wilderness. I have been as busy as a farmer
"We are now Anarchists Of The Forest and proud to be Welsh."
He loves his place - and the previously London-based star told fans all about the move.
"We bought before the pandemic and spent six months of lockdown selling up and moving out," he said.
"It has been torrid avoiding Covid and fascism...but we survive...a beautiful spot just south of lake Vyrnwy.
"It was in a state but we are making it pretty...lovely part of the world...far from the madding crowd...real."
