Former Bachelor star Matt Agnew shows off his new look and long shaggy hair in a bizarre photo
Former Bachelor and astrophysicist Matt Agnew recently debuted his new look, having grown out his hair in recent months.

The self-professed ‘space nerd’ superimposed his face on to a Wookiee, a fictional character from the Star Wars franchise.

The post was to celebrate Star Wars Day on May 4.
This is an important date for Star Wars fans because ‘May the fourth’ sounds similar to the film’s famous line ‘May the Force be with you’.
‘Ok, Wookiee is out of the bag,’ Matt captioned his photo.
‘My hair growth journey is complete,’ he added.

Last month, Matt made a surprise TV appearance on Today Extra, where he looked remarkably different to how he looked on The Bachelor back in 2019.
Viewers would be forgiven for not recognising the 32-year-old data scientist, who ditched his trademark ‘geeky’ spectacles and clean-cut look in favour of luscious long locks and just a hint of stubble.
Having clearly worked out over lockdown, Matt showed off his noticeably buff physique a crisp white shirt, which he unbuttoned twice to show a hint of chest.

Matt had appeared on Today to discuss NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter landing on Mars – but host David Campbell couldn’t help but ask about his new hairstyle towards the end of the chat.
‘Before you go, quickly, how long will you grow your hair?’ he cheekily asked.
‘I’m thinking I potentially go shoulder length,’ Matt laughed. ‘I’ve got past that really awkward uncomfortable stage, so I’ve got to just push.’
When asked if he was in a relationship, he swiftly responded with: ‘I am single.’
Matt chose chemical engineer Chelsie McLeod as his winner on The Bachelor, but their relationship didn’t last.
The couple confirmed their split two months after the finale airdate, and Chelsie later hinted it wasn’t her decision to end things.
Matt said at the time: ‘Our relationship hasn’t translated from filming to the real, everyday world as we had hoped.’
He hasn’t publicly dated anyone since the break-up, but Chelsie recently debuted her model boyfriend Ricki Dehaan.
