On April 5th, Mike Bailey, the 37-year-old who played Sid Jenkins on the hit show, Skins Back in 2007 and 2008, just popped up in a rare interview, looking totally transformed. He ditched the teen angst and glasses for bleached blonde hair, and these days he's teaching dramas that have chasing spotlights alongside stars like Nicholas Hool and Daniel Kaluuya. He explained how between the first and second series, he chose college over auditions and skipped getting an agent right away, which slowed his career to a crawl. After Skins, he did a few projects like a drama doc on 1066, and a movie called We Are The Freaks, then pivoted to teaching for good. Fans lost it online when they saw him, saying they barely recognized the guy and couldn't believe how much better he looks with age. Plenty were stunned by the hair and the glow-up from his awkward Sid days. Meanwhile, his old castmates blew up big time, holds landing the Lex Luthorol in the new Superman flick after X-Men and Mad Max, Kaluuya snagged.
