Melissa George does not look like this anymore! Former Home and Away star reveals shock transformation
The 48-year-old, now based in Paris, shared a photo to Instagram over the weekend of her dramatic new hairstyle.
The actress looked unrecognisable as she revealed her new bob after cutting off her long blonde locks.

She appeared to be makeup free for the photo as she posed on the balcony of her home.

Melissa has built an impressive career since leaving the Aussie soap back in 1996.
She played Camilla Rhodes in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive and had the lead role alongside A-lister Ryan Reynolds in the blockbuster Amityville Horror remake.
The star also had memorable roles in hit TV shows like Alias and Grey's Anatomy, and the Apple+ hit The Mosquito Coast.
It comes after the Perth-born actress shocked her social media followers in January 2024 when she confirmed she was pregnant with her third child - she has not revealed the identity of the father.
The blonde beauty welcomed her boy Lyor Gatsby in March 2024.
'Welcome to the world my little man. Love knows no end. A mother of 3 sons. Cannot believe it. My heart is so full,' the 30 Days of Night actress announced at the time.
In September, she shared adorable snaps to Instagram while spending her quality time with her newborn son at a luxurious French chateau.
One sweet photo captured a beaming Melissa tenderly cradling the infant while reclining on a couch with him.
Another picture captured a focused-looking Melissa taking her baby on a pram ride through the garden of an expansive property.
Melissa also shares her sons, Raphaël, nine, and Solal, seven, with her ex-partner Jean-David Blanc, a French entrepreneur.
Due to a custody arrangement, their children can't leave France with their mother without their father's consent, which means she is now based in Paris.
She was previously married to Chilean furniture designer and film director Claudio Dabed from 2000 to 2011.

Smitten Jennifer Aniston shows off holiday glow as her new love guru 'boyfriend' makes bold statement about romance
Jennifer Aniston arrived back in the states on Monday following a vacation with her rumored new boyfriend, hypnotist Jim Curtis, in Mallorca, Spain. Aniston wore loose-fitting light wash blue jeans, a tight white tank top, and a beige sunhat while deplaning with Jason Bateman and other friends in Los Angeles. On the travel day, the 56-year-old actress' latest suitor broke his silence about the getaway, waxing poetic about love and joy. 'I am back from vacation and what an experience!' he wrote in his online newsletter. 'When I was sick, sad, stuck and in pain I never thought I would have the abundance, joy and love I now experience on a daily basis,' he penned, according to Page Six. He added in the correspondence: 'I just took one step, made one decision and the next followed — now I look back and realize, oh! That course, that life change, that pain, resulted in this magic.' The actress' latest suitor waxed poetic about love and joy on Monday as he used his online newsletter to reflect on life, writing, 'I am back from vacation and what an experience!' Although he did not detail any information about the Mallorcan getaway, which saw the duo getting cozy on a yacht, he noted that 'the same life that brings struggle also brings opportunity.' He reminded his subscribers, 'The possibility of something better — more aligned, more free, more meaningful — is always here.'

Deborra-Lee Furness 'back in the dating game' following her bitter split from Hugh Jackman - after Aussie actor moves on with Sutton Foster
Deborra-Lee Furness is said to be back in the dating game after finalising her divorce with Hugh Jackman last month. The Australian actress, 69, is reportedly courting offers from potential suitors - but is holding back until she can find a partner who meets her high standards. 'Deb is finally starting to heal and talk about what she wants in her life going forward,' an insider told this week's Woman's Day magazine. 'She's got an incredible support system that's been there every step of the way, helping her to pick up the pieces of her life. They are encouraging her to start dating again.' They added that Furness had received offers from some 'incredible guys' but was holding back for the perfect match. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'She knows what she brings to the table,' the insider added. Last month, Furness and Jackman finalised their divorce a month after filing, Daily Mail exclusively revealed. A judgment of divorce was filed on June 12, making it official. The document, however, wasn't made public until June 23. Prior to the judgment being entered, two other documents were filed on June 10 - a 'Qualified Medical Child Support Order', regarding children's insurance, and 'Findings of Fact/Conclusions of Law.' The divorce was essentially disposed of some time ago, but the judge needed to sign off on the judgment after a proposed judgment was entered. Furness, who has two adopted children with the Wolverine actor, has received a 'spousal support payment,' according to an insider, who previously spoke to Daily Mail. 'A settlement was reached that Furness is pleased with, which includes a handsome spousal support payment,' they revealed. 'There was some back and forth regarding this financial agreement but, in the end, she got what she believed she deserved. Both are coming out of this financially secure.' 'There is not going to be any drama with this - it gives closure that she needed.' In May, Daily Mail exclusively broke the news of Jackman, 56, and Furness, filing for divorce to officially terminate their 27-year marriage. The film producer filed the complaint in New York on May 23 and, per the filings, everything has been ironed out behind the scenes. Other filings submitted by her lawyer include a notice concerning continuation of health care coverage, a proposed qualified medical child support order, a New York state case registry form (used to report child support orders to the state's registry), the settlement, a proposed judgment of divorce, and a certificate of dissolution. All that needed to be done was for the judge to sign off on the judgment. The divorce is 'non contested,' meaning there was not a major disagreement between the couple divorcing. 'They have worked out the details in advance and everything is ironed out in terms of a settlement, alimony and the expenses for the future of their children,' another source told Daily Mail. 'They are amicable and they are both fully committed to being the best parents that they can be.' They added that Jackman was 'looking forward to the future and not looking back'. Shortly after news broke of the exes' divorce filing, Furness shocked fans by releasing a statement using the word 'betrayal' when speaking about her 'traumatic journey'. Jackman has been dating his former The Music Man co-star Sutton Foster for months, although the timeline of when they began dating has never been confirmed. The pair are said to be ignoring any negative talk about their romance - which some fans believed started as an affair while he was still married - and are 'looking to move forward' with their relationship. A source previously claimed to Daily Mail that while Jackman 'didn't physically cheat' on his ex-wife, the 69-year-old believes they were having 'an emotional affair' and 'feels he betrayed her.' Although Jackman and Sutton haven't been spotted together in public since May - when they were seen holding hands in New York City - a source

When asked about the criticism the church has faced throughout the years, she said: 'I don't think that it comes from an actual place of, like, your critiques.
