EASTENDERS legend Rob Kazinsky looks very different years on from when he was on the soap.

The soap actor first made his debut on the serial drama 17 years ago in August 2006.

Rob, 40, now sports a very different look from his days on EastEnders as he now shows off a shaven look to his sideburns.

His locks have thinned slightly on the top of his head and he now wears circular glasses with thin silver rims.

Sean was also known to be mostly clean shaven with slight stubble on his chin, cheeks and neck.

The facial hair has now grown significantly as he can now be seen with a full beard and coverage over the moustache area.

He recently showed off his now look on social media as he celebrated the middle aged lifestyle on Instagram.

Alongside a selfie he wrote: "I have to wear glasses now. Wanna fight about it? #ThisIs40."

Rob first made his debut as Sean Slater - brother of Stacey played by Lacey Turner - in 2006.

He first stayed on EastEnders as part of the full-time cast until 2009 when he departed the show.

He has since made brief sporadic appearances in 2019, November 2021 and April 2022 relating to the other members of the slater family.

It seems that he has remained active in the acting scene as he recently teased fans about a 'great job' where he had to lose weight.

He has expanded his repertoire to include films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe where he starred as The Don in Captain Marvel in 2019.

Rob also played the part of Perini in the Netflix film The Gray Man, alongside Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas and Regé-Jean Page.

Rob went on to to reveal he was forced to get in shape for his next job, as he said: "I have a great job coming up if the strikes come to an end and I’ve decided to get into superhero shape, without drugs, without PEDs, without help, just a 40 year old fat b*****d making do with what I have still going for me."

He shared a series of pictures as he revealed his weight of 220lbs (15.7 stone) to his fans.

The actor told his fans: "You’re gonna be seeing a fair bit more activity over the next few months, and it’s the kind of activity and vanity I steadfastly avoid. Fitness S**t.

"I’m going to try and avoid self defeating embarrassment and general autistic self destruction as much as possible and not die of shame."
