Peep Show star unrecognisable a decade after hit show ended

Channel 4's hit sitcom, Peep Show, became a cult classic with fans still watching repeats and quoting it almost a decade after it came to an abrupt end.

Starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb, and created by Andrew O'Connor, Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, it was shot from a unique 'point of view' that became synonymous with the series. Following the lives of Mark Corrigan, played by Mitchell, and and Jeremy "Jez" Usbourne, played by Webb, it helped launch the careeers of a number of famous actors - including Oscar-winner Olivia Colman.

Alongside Mitchell and Webb's Mark and Jez, there were a host of other characters including one who now looks unrecognisable from his Peep Show alter ego.

Posting a snap to his Instagram, he wrote: "What a beautiful afternoon. Hope you're all having lovely days. Maybe see you out in Brighton tonight yeah?" But can you guess who it is?

It's Matt King, who played Jeremy's bandmate and pal, Super Hans. Known for regularly being drug-addled and drunk, Super Hans became a favourite with fans and Matt would often tour the country DJing at clubs and universities under the guise of his show character.

Prior to landing the role in Peep Show, Matt worked as a chef in Australia. The show's creators, Andrew O'Connor, Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, saw him performing at Edinburgh Fringe and knew he would be perfect for the role of Super Hans.

Peep Show helped launch Matt's career and he went on to appear in Skins, Doctor Who, Spirited, Paddington and The End of the F***ing World. He also wrote the sitcom Whites, starring Alan Davies.

Matt previously shocked fans of the show when he revealed he had never watched the critically acclaimed show. He wrote: "Yes, sometimes I do forget things Hans said in Peep Show. Because I've never sat down and watched an episode. Ever.

"Mainly cos I hate watching myself. So some of the very funny things I said TWENTY f***ing years ago, may on occasion, slip my mind."
