Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman‘s adopted son, Connor, looks almost unrecognisable in a new photo.
The 26-year-old happily posed for a picture this week to show off his catch while on a fishing trip with friends in Costa Rica.
Connor, who shared the image on Instagram, now has a long, scruffy beard and looks very different to how fans may remember him.

‘Yellowfin we’re chewing today,’ Connor wrote in the caption.
In the photo, he conceals his gaze behind sunglasses and wears a pair of beige shorts and a white long-sleeve rash vest.
Tom and Nicole, who were married from 1990 to 2001, adopted Connor in 1995. They had adopted a daughter, Isabella, now 28, three years earlier.

In December last year, Woman’s Day reported that Hollywood megastar Tom, 58, was persuading Bella to come live with him at his palatial London penthouse in the historic Corinthia Residences – which were previously owned by The Queen.
The opulent $455,000-a-month property is undoubtedly fit for Hollywood royalty with its four bedrooms, indoor pool and jaw-dropping view – but even that may not be enough to lure Bella.
Tom has been living in London for two years while filming some high-profile movie projects.

Bella is said to be living with her IT consultant husband Max Parker and pet reptile in a humble three-bedroom home in Croydon, south London.
Neighbours have told the Australian publication that she prefers to live in a more low-profile manner compared to the lavish lifestyle she was accustomed to growing up.
Top Gun actor Tom doesn’t appear to be handing any significant chunks of money down to his adopted daughter, despite being one of Hollywood’s richest stars with a fortune of $570 million.
But it seems there’s no hard feelings, as the Church of Scientology ‘Poster Girl’ appeared in a promo thanking her famous father.

In a marketing ad, Bella credited the Church of Scientology for providing the missing piece in her life after undertaking extensive training to become an auditor.
In an email initially shared with London based Scientologists and subsequently published on Scientology blog The Underground Bunker, Bella claimed she was ‘drowning in problems’ before qualifying for the role.
Reflecting on her training, she wrote: ‘It turned out it was exactly what I needed. I dragged out the testing and correction, just made it through the drilling and then finally began my auditing adventure, and wow, I wasn’t prepared. This IS what I had been searching for. The missing piece.’
Bella credited her father, full name Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, her aunt Cass Mapother and various members of the church for helping her through a series of issues while she underwent her training.
‘Thank you to my Dad for everything,’ she wrote. ‘To Cass. To Tash. I would have drowned in my own problems if you hadn’t been there to sup me or get me through the preliminaries.’
Bella grew apart from Big Little Lies star Nicole after her divorce from the Top Gun star in 2001.
However, the mother and daughter pair may be on the road to reconciliation after fans noticed Bella had recently started liking Nicole’s Instagram posts.

A source told New Idea magazine: ‘Bella popping up on Nicole’s Instagram all of a sudden has got lots of people talking. It’s huge, given everything that’s happened between them.’
While Tom and Nicole initially shared custody of their children, it had been previously reported that Nicole had been estranged from Bella and Connor for years.
The fact that Nicole is not a member of the controversial religion likely makes her a ‘suppressive person’, or SP.

‘I would give up my life for my children’: The Moulin Rouge! star has remained largely silent about her strained relationship with her adopted children
Scientologists are encouraged to ‘disconnect’ from so-called SPs because they are considered a barrier to spiritual growth.
Nicole did not attend her daughter’s wedding, despite being in London performing in a stage show at the time.
The Moulin Rouge! star has remained largely silent about her strained relationship with her adopted children.
‘I’m very private about all that. I have to protect all those relationships. I know 150 per cent that I would give up my life for my children because it’s what my purpose is,’ she previously told Who magazine.
Following her divorce from Tom, Nicole welcomed another two daughters, Sunday, 12, and Faith, 10, with her second husband, country singer Keith Urban.
