Rhys Nicholson doesn't look like this anymore! Aussie comedian shocks friends and followers as he shares jaw-dropping birthday selfie
The Australian comedian marked his 35th birthday this week with a jaw-dropping photo of himself looking decades older than his years.
Poking fun at himself, Rhys put an ageing filter over his face in the picture, giving himself weathered skin and several wrinkles.
'She's 35 today and feeling fresh,' he joked, looking anything but.
His famous friends left comments beneath the hilarious post.
'Looking more and more like one of my mum's Aunties from Adelaide every day. Well done Rhys. Happy Birthday!' radio presenter Merrick Watts said.
Meanwhile, celebrity drag queen Courtney Act pointed out Rhys looked identical to Australian politician Pauline Hanson in the photo.
'You don't look a day over Pauline Hanson,' Courtney wrote.
Rhys' followers quickly jumped in on the joke.
'Ngl thought this was Pauline seeing the voting polls. Happy birthday!' one person commented.
Other wrote, 'Please explain,' in reference to the iconic but unintentional catchphrase the One Nation senator is attributed with.
'Lovely photo of Pauline Hanson,' wrote another, while someone else said: 'Jesus bloody Christ I thought Pauline had infiltrated my feed! HBD.'
It comes after the Drag Race Down Under judge and his husband Kyran sold their Coburg townhouse for $842,500 at auction last May.
Rhys and Kyran snapped up the modern two-storey property in 2017 and were not shy about transforming it with their weird and wacky renovations.
The actor said he had no intention of appealing to future buyers when he designed his home, adding that he wanted to inject his own personality into it.
His biggest change came in the kitchen when Rhys had the space expanded into a 'sprawling' area with green cabinetry, pink walls and three ovens.
'I cook and we like having people over for dinner and having small get-togethers, so it just wasn't conducive to that,' Rhys said.
'We had a couple of dinner parties there and it was just like, "We need to do something about this kitchen."'
Rhys and Kyran also transformed their upstairs bedroom into a spacious living area dubbed 'the soft room' for the luxurious, thick carpet.
Elevating their home with 'absurd, stupid decorative things', Rhys went on to say his ideal interior style is very 'maximalist' with a 'healthy mixture of functional pieces'.

Boy, do we have a fun fact for you! Australia's known for its laid-back lifestyle, cheeky banter and silly slang. With one of the world's best work-life balances, we know how to kick back and not take life too seriously. And to prove it, a global perception survey of 17,000 people named Australia as one of the world's ten 'most fun' countries – edging out our mates in New Zealand. Take that! This ranking comes from the US News & World Repor t's annual Best Countries report, which polled 17,000 respondents from 36 nations worldwide. Since 'fun' means something different to everyone, they surveyed a diverse pool of people, including business leaders, informed elites and the general public – asking each to rate how strongly they associate each country with fun. Australia scored an impressive 85.1 out of 100, landing as the seventh-most fun country in the world. It was one of only two countries in Oceania to crack the top ten, and yep, we beat New Zealand, which came in ninth. Looking for fun things to do Down Under?

Horror film with ‘greatest twist of all time' now available to stream
If you're a horror fan who gets a kick out of a good twist, this 2000s Nicole Kidman film is right up your street. Starring Oscar-winning Australian-American actress Kidman, 58, in the lead role of Grace, The Others is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, following a woman living on a family estate in the Channel Islands with her two photosensitive children. Set during World War II, Grace is awaiting news on her missing husband while attempting to protect her children from harm by the sun due to their rare disease. Things take a sinister turn, however, when Grace's mother, Anne (Alakina Mann), claims she is seeing ghosts, and while Grace initially brushes the spookiness off as their staff playing tricks, she soon comes to realise something far more menacing is at play. The 2001 supernatural flick is famous for its huge plot twist, which viewers have long branded one of the best in cinema. Thanks to its cast's performances and gripping story, The Others was a box office smash, grossing $210million (£182m) worldwide on a $17m (14.7m) budget. It was lauded by critics, earning 15 nominations and eight wins at the 16th Goya Awards, and becoming the first English-language film without a word of Spanish dialogue to triumph in the best film category at Spain's Goya Awards. Kidman was also recognised in other best actress categories for her role, including at the Golden Globes. Ultimately, the Alejandro Amenábar-directed horror is highly regarded as not just one of the 2000s' best movies but, for many, the greatest horror ever made. As for what fans have had to say, The Others, which was shot in northern Spain, has a respectable 77% audience score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, as well as 84% from critics. Among the 250,000+ reviews, user Ry H branded it with 4.5 stars as recently as July 2025, writing: 'My favorite horror movie ever with one of the biggest twists that I never saw coming.' 'The Others lives up to the unpredictability hype, you can't guess what's happening. The characters are incredibly well-written. Their decisions, the plot makes sense until everything gets a new meaning', writes Mate P. 'Has to be the best suspense movie of all time, period. The acting and filming are fantastic', echoes Josh K. Julian S agrees: 'THE OTHERS finds Kidman at her most mesmerizing, carrying a chilling slow-burn thriller that builds to a twist so sharp, it leaves you breathless.' 'This one still holds up as one of the great supernatural thrillers. Great twist, wonderful acting, especially by the children', pens Jason W. Others praise the fright flick for its ability to build tension and create a dread-filled atmosphere, with many compelled to watch for a second time after the twist is uncovered, forcing them to rethink everything they thought they knew. More Trending The Others is one of many of Kidman's projects in the horror and thriller genres, as she's also had roles in The Invasion (2007), Before I Go to Sleep (2014), and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), to name a few. She recently starred in 2025's Holland, alongside Matthew Macfadyen and Gael García Bernal, playing a mother who, upon unearthing her husband's infidelity, discovers her picture-perfect life was full of secrets. Of course, Kidman also famously plays the lead in Nine Perfect Strangers, a thriller drama series that recently dropped a second season. The Others is available to stream now on Amazon Prime Video.

B&M shoppers spot rare flavour of Snickers they've ‘never seen' before selling for £1
It comes as other unusual Snickers flavours have been spotted at the discount retailer RARE TREAT B&M shoppers spot rare flavour of Snickers they've 'never seen' before selling for £1 B&M shoppers have spotted a rare flavour of Snickers selling for £1. Customers were surprised to see coffee flavoured versions of the classic chocolate stocked on the shelves of the bargain store. 3 Coffee flavoured Snickers bars Credit: Facebook 3 The bars were spotted at B&M for £1 Credit: Instagram/@newsfoodsuk Posting on the Facebook group Food Finds UK Official, a user wrote: "Not sure if these are new, but in B&M and I've never seen this flavour!" One user wrote: "I've been meaning to check out B&M for ages now and this might just be the push I need to go." Another added: "Imported from Australia, I had them over there and so so good I'll need to head to B&M." "I will be trying these," a third wrote. The bar sells for up to £2.99 at online retailers like Bombon and Candy Mail UK - nearly triple its price at B&M. The unusual chocolate bar appears to be a rare find, currently unavailable in other major UK supermarkets. The company Mars Incorporated launched Coffee Snickers back in February, with fans describing it as a bittersweet twist on their classic peanut, caramel and chocolate combo. The controversial new flavour comes after two years of development and 13 different product prototypes. Shoppers learned of the release through NewfoodsUK on Instagram. The bar divided opinions with one user calling it a "win-win" and another saying it was "disgusting". YoCrunch Yogurt Recall: Sharp Plastic in Candy Toppers Prompts Nationwide Warning Mars Wrigley Research & Development director Chris Hutton said: 'We know how much Aussies love their coffee, and after two years of development and 13 different product prototypes, we're excited to bring this new twist on Snickers to life. 'Snickers Coffee Flavour is a proudly Australian-made product, formulated by our local team in Ballarat to deliver on both taste and sustainability, and we can't wait for fans to try it.' It comes after B&M shoppers spotted almond flavoured Snickers at the bargain store. The bar, containing almond pieces alongside peanuts, nougat, caramel and milk chocolate, was launched in the US six years ago. But it is not typically sold in the UK, making it an unusual find. Shoppers at B&M also previously spotted a brownie Snickers, which was another hit in the US. The Snickers bar was introduced by Mars, Inc. in 1930 and was named after the Mars family's favourite horse, Snickers. For decades, the bar was sold in the UK and Ireland under the name "Marathon" before being changed to Snickers in 1990. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.
