WATCH BELOW: Trailer for Channel Seven’s Ultimate Tag
Shaun Wood, now 32, made his debut in television from as young as three-years-old, and starred in the popular Channel Seven program until he was 10.
For those six years of his childhood he was first introduced as Christopher Fletcher, the son of Tom and Pippa, back in 1992 until 1998.
Now, the former Home and Away star is all grown up, and is set to feature in the upcoming sports competition show Ultimate Tag.
And he’s traded in his signature golden hair for a fiery new do’.
Sporting bold new red hair, Shaun shared his new look on Instagram, where he also revealed he will be known as “Hollywood” on the show:
“Say HI to Hollywood. Coming to @ultimatetagau on @channel7. I had an incredible amount of fun becoming Hollywood, and let’s just say, I didn’t hold back.”
He also teased fans that the hair might be here to stay, by saying:
“P.S. should I rock the red hair while it airs?”
Fans were shocked but excited by the new transformation, with one user writing:
“Hahaha this is the best. That hair though rock it Hollywood.”
“Red hair all year round!” another penned.
His hair isn’t the only thing that will have him ready for the new gig, with Shaun’s Instagram filled with videos of him training in Parkour, and is a skill that will certainly come in handy for the show that is described as “the fastest, most intense game on Earth”.
Fans can tune in to see red hot Hollywood compete in Ultimate Tag when it debuts next month.
