You’ll never believe what the “Leave Britney Alone” guy looks like now!

He rose to fame thanks to his impassioned plea to “leave Britney alone” during her infamous meltdown in 2007 and now internet sensation Chris Crocker is all grown up and unrecognisable.

With his cropped blonde hair, heavy eyeliner, Southern drawl and endless stream of tears Chris Crocker had an important message to share with the world.

Taking to YouTube, the teenager begged the trolls to stop making fun of popstar Britney Spears following her disastrous “come-back” performance at the MTV Video Music Awards where she lip synced and stumbled her way around the stage.

“All you people care about is readers and making money off of her. She’s a human! Leave Britney alone,” he pleaded at the time.

Fast forward nine years later and Chris is unrecognisable.

Oh hey there handsome!

These days Chris, who has since deleted his YouTube account, is working as a comedian and singer and has completely overhauled his style, rocking a sexy beard and bulging biceps.

Despite his dramatic make-over, Chris is a firm believer in inner-love first and foremost.

Chris has since deleted his YouTube account and works as a comedian and singer.

“Inner confidence means way more than a million people affirming your “hotness”. Thanks for the recent love. Truly. But just know: You should always let yourself feel attractive. Not just when society says you are,” he penned on social media recently.

Amen to that!
