Is that really you? Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe is about to shimmy his way onto the latest season of Dancing With the Stars, but judging by his throwback photo he’d perhaps be better suited to America' Got Talent.

A few months before Jesse, 41, was named as a contestant on season 29 of the hit show, he shared an unrecognisable photo of himself rocking out with a guitar. 

His signature cropped hairstyle was replaced with shaggy locks and his gym-honed body was looking a little less buff.

The new season of the show will premiere on 14 September on ABC with Tyra Banks hosting and Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli taking the judging seats.

Tyra has been a long-time fan of the show and is excited to take on the role as both host and executive producer. 

She told US Weekly: "My goal is for a 12-year-old to be sitting on the couch with their parents and grandparents and everybody can relate personally to what they see on the screen. That's a hint. Not giving up the goods. You'll have to tune in."
