Iconic nineties pop star looks unrecognisable from boyband fame as he's snapped in Australia


A nineties pop star looks worlds away from his boy band heyday as he has been photographed in a gym gear and sunglasses while in Perth, Australia on tour

Take That star Mark Owen, 52, looked very different from his cute nineties boy band image as he stepped out in Perth, Western Australia in a black sports kit, dark sunglasses and with his brown hair falling into his face on Thursday 30 October. Back then, he was known as the sweet one in the band, who performed alongside lead singer Gary Barlow, Jason Orange, Howard Donald and Robbie Williams, and he won Smash Hits awards for both ‘Most Fanciable Male in the World’ three years in a row, and ‘Best Haircut’ for his short and neat style. Mark recently embarked on a six month training regime before the tour (Image: FAMO / BACKGRID) The band, which broke up in 1996 and reformed in 2005, now consists of Mark, Gary and Howard, with Robbie Williams having left the group in 1995 to embark on a hugely successful solo career, and Jason Orange leaving in 2014 when he decided to retire from the entertainment industry.
