Paul Hollywood is unrecognisable as Bake Off fans mistake throwback for Tom Cruise

Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood looked so totally different in a throwback snap and many thought he had the look of Tom Cruise

Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood left fans swooning over a throwback snap.

It's Eighties-inspired cooking this week in the Great British Bake Off tent and the main star thought he would treat fans to a throwback from the iconic decade.

The celebrity chef, 54, has cemented his status as a silver fox with his good looks and smooth-talking charm.

So it's no wonder the ladies went absolutely and utterly wild for his throwback snap on Instagram on Tuesday.

Many Great British Bake Off fans were convinced he was the spitting image of Hollywood heartthrob Tom Cruise.

Among the comments, one wrote: "Bit of a Tom Cruise look going on.... The 80s is my favourite decade, love everything about it."

In the snap, Paul smouldered to the camera with his dark locks and piercing blue eyes.

He wrote alongside the snap: "Here’s one from the late 80's, its also the theme for the Bake Off tonight, “THE 80s”...! 8pm on @channel4.

"Quiche, vol au vents and custard slices at the ready X."

He added the hashtags: #bakeoff#gbbo#getbaking#staysafe#80s.

Social media was awash with women gushing over the silver fox's looks in the 80s as they declared him "handsome back then and sexy now".

Among the flurry of comments, they wrote: "Handsome back then and sexy now!"

"Very Tom Cruise ‘ Cocktail’."
