RYAN Seacrest has shown up looking completely different in a set of throwback photos shared for his birthday.
The newly-minted Wheel of Fortune host and former Live with Kelly and Mark co-host turned 49 on December 24.
Radio host Lisa Foxx shared a series of photos with Ryan in her Instagram Stories.
In her now-deleted photo, the American Idol host could be seen in multiple poses looking almost completely unlike his usual self.
The photos showed Ryan posing with Lisa looking young and fresh-faced.
His spiky hairstyle included blond frosted tips, a popular hairstyle from the early 2000s.

Ryan wore long-sleeved T-shirts in a variety of colors as well as a collared shirt while posing alongside musician John Mayer.
"Yeeeeah!! Happy birthday @ryanseacrest! Still my favorite," Lisa captioned the photo set.
Ryan was truly a product of the times in the throwback snaps.
He has long since ditched the frosted hair tips.

Now, he wears mature outfits and has a darker, more close-cropped hairstyle.
Of course, the spiky hair is no longer in style.
'WHERE'S RY?'
Recently, Ryan's girlfriend Aubrey Paige sparked rumors that the pair had split.
Aubrey shared a clip from her family gathering on Instagram, and fans were quick to notice that Ryan was missing from the happy occasion.
Her family taped a video camera to the ceiling as they danced around in a circle underneath.
She captioned the video: "Merry Christmas & happy holidays from mine to yours."
Aubrey also posted a TikTok of herself solo and selecting a bottle of wine from a cellar.
She captioned the post: "Wishing everyone a blessed holiday season full of great wine and even better company."
Although fans were quick to point out in the comments that Ryan was missing in both of the posts.
One fan asked: "Where's Ry Ry?"
A second chimed in: "Where's Ryan?"
Yet a third asked: "Is that a new ring on your finger?"
Aubrey didn't answer either of her fans' questions concerning her boyfriend's whereabouts or the status of their relationship.
Ryan has been silent on social media regarding his holiday celebrations.
He posted a photo of himself wearing a holiday print tuxedo against a photoshopped background which read "Seasons Greetings to you and yours."
Ryan has also been posting advertisements ahead of hosting ABC's New Year's Rockin' Eve in New York, but he has not indicated where he was spending time over the holidays.
RING IT IN
Despite fans asking where Ryan was for the holidays, he was spotted taking Aubrey out on a date earlier this month.
They were spotted getting dinner at Sushi Park in Los Angeles, California.
They strolled down a pathway, with the former morning show host looking tense at times.
He looked at his phone as he walked, stopped to chat with someone along the way, and peered over a balcony.
BIG THINGS COMING
In November, Aubrey shared a cryptic post about a life-changing year that got fans talking.
She reposted the quote to her Instagram Stories.
It read: "Is it just me or was this year like... really life changing?
"Like everything that's happened to you this year has shaped you into a completely different person than you were at the beginning of this year."
Aubrey then shared a second quote that read: "A secret to happiness is to be as weird as you like and the wrong people will leave the party but the right ones will join the dance."
She did not share any additional context with the quotes.
