Liam Hemsworth looks hardly recognisable as a gawky teenager

He will soon step into Henry Cavill‘s shoes to play Geralt of Rivia in the Netflix fantasy series The Witcher.

But long before his days as a sword-and-sandals hero, Liam Hemsworth was just an awkward teenager growing up on Phillip Island, southeast of Melbourne.

A high school photo of a gawky-looking Liam resurfaced this week after it was posted by the Celeb Spellcheck Instagram account.

The Hunger Games star, now 32, sported curly hair and a few freckles as he sat for a photo wearing a blue shirt. 

Fans flocked to the comments section to poke fun at Liam, with one calling him ‘the Prince Harry of Australia’s royal family’.

Another said the throwback could ‘double as most blokes’ Tinder profile in 2022′.
