Guess who? This former reality TV star looks unrecognisable in throwback photos from his university graduation

While he may have undeniable good looks, this former reality TV star also has the smarts to match.

In a post on Instagram on Thursday, this handsome suitor shared a series of throwback photos from his university graduation.

The fresh-faced 33-year-old was seen accepting his degree while wearing a traditional graduation robe.    

Guess who? While he may have undeniable good looks, this former reality TV star also has the smarts to match 

It’s The Bachelor’s Matt Agnew, who looked completely unrecognisable in a series of throwback photos from his youth.  

Posting to Instagram, Matt explained that the images were taken at his university graduation back in 2009. 

‘Today is World Engineering Day! I’ve just returned to the world of engineering this year, but it was over a decade ago in 2009 that I graduated and began cutting my teeth as an engineer,’ he explained.

The first image featured Matt on stage accepting his diploma in a black and gold graduation robe, which he wore with a black striped shirt and pants.  

In a second photo, a baby-faced Matt posed with another academic, before he showed off his goofy side, mucking around in an alcove for a third photo. 

He also urged his young followers to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) industries.

‘Australia still faces declining STEM numbers, and it’s so important to encourage young boys and girls to consider science and engineering as a career,’ he wrote. 

He added: ‘”If you want to change the world for the better, become an engineer.”‘ 

Matt’s current appearance is worlds away from how he looked at his graduation and even on The Bachelor in 2019, with the reality star now sporting a hipster ponytail.
