“Skins” is basically the British “Degrassi,” which is the Canadian “Dawson’s Creek,” which is the American “Skins.” Teenagers have lots of drama and television is apparently the perfect medium for all that angst.
But that’s not why you’re here.
Fans of “Skins” will no doubt remember Maxxie Oliver, a gay character that appeared in the show’s first two seasons (2007-2008), played by actor Mitchell Hewer.
The show was unique in that it replaced its core cast every two years, so Maxxie was never seen or heard from again after ’08.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Hewer, on the other hand, is still very much around. Ten years after he debuted as Maxxie, the lithe twink with Bieber bangs and blond highlights, it’s safe to say he’s grown into his own.
Check out his transformation below:

It must be tough when your former cast mates are in Oscar nominated movies and your career now consists of posed instagram shots

Damn that stung me lmao. He’s still a cutie though. Silver lining.

Don’t know who he is, don’t know the show, but great body. And glad he hasn’t fallen fashion victim to the tattoo craze.

Yeah he fell fashion victim to the atrocious man-bun fad instead.
Jack Meoff
At least a man-bun can be dealt with with a pair of shears. Tattoos are permanent and date really fast.

I just wanna snatch that stupid bun off the back of his head… after all we lost in 2016, THIS had to live on? Stop it!!
Jack Meoff
I don’t think it is living on so much as this guy just didn’t get the memo yet to tell him man-buns are OVER. Jared Leto needs to have a word with him.

Who could ever forget good ol’ Maxxie?

Fück. That’s some Charlie Hunnam post-Queer As Folk level transformation

Man buns are nauseatingly unattractive.

they grow up so fast and fill out so nicely. but i agree. ditch the ‘man bun’. he’s got other buns more worth looking at.

He was also okay in Britannia High. A show that aired a year before Glee and with ORIGINAL music.

That man bun is obscene. All one sees when a man has one is the God awful growth on the back of their head…..

There is NOTHING hotter than a sexy guy with long hair – up, down, bun, whatever.
Paco
AMEN! I love long, sexy manes of hair on men. Especially if they are wavy to curly. Sets them apart from the fashion clones.
BriBri
The man bun comments are funny and I certainly agree, however, I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crackers.

i call my penis, Crackers.

I’ve been clicking on Share a tip button at the bottom to no avail. I just came across a webpage that I thought Queerty might like to “make in their own image”. Then I remembered this Skins story, which is the same idea. http://www.boredpanda.com/before-after-ugly-duckling-beauty-transformation/
