A former EastEnders star looks extremely different nowadays following their exit.

Bleu Landau appeared on the BBC One soap opera between 2015 and 2020, playing the role of Dennis Rickman Jnr, the son of Sharon Watts and Dennis Rickman. During his five years on the soap, Denny was involved in a string of major storylines, including violence. His character was known for his brattish ways, having been spoilt by his mum since birth.

But while he presented a charming persona to his mum, Denny had previously bullied the likes of Will Mitchell and Bobby Beale, having taken inspiration from his step-dad, notorious gangster, Phil Mitchell. But as he aged, his behaviour dramatically worsened, with the character punching his mum in one memorable scene.

Four years after his exit from the soap after he drowned during the infamous boat crash, the actor looks very different in a string of new snaps shared on his social media account. Taking to Instagram, Bleu, now 19, was seen posing while enjoying a trip to Marbella, escaping the British weather.

The young actor documented his lad's holiday with an array of snaps, including one of him posing on a motorbike as he offered a grin towards the camera while wearing a tracksuit. Meanwhile, another image saw the star posing with his friends as he raised a fist towards the camera while his pals offered an assortment of poses.

Since leaving the soap, Bleu has taken on a new career and is focusing on football, having represented and even captained his country, while also having a trial for England Schoolboys. Last year, he told his online followers: "22/23 Season. It has been an unreal and unforgettable season. 2 league titles, a record-breaking FA Youth Cup run, representing and captaining my county and also in the trial process for England Schoolboys. Hopefully more successes next year."

Some of the gongs his team had won include National Youth Alliance U19s League Winners, Kent Youth League U182 Winner and Third Round of FA Youth Cup. Meanwhile, earlier this year, Bleu was fortunate enough to pose on the pitch at The Emirates Stadium, which he described as "Another great experience."

But he's not just playing alongside fellow non-league players, Bleu has also been on the pitch alongside his former EastEnders co-star, Danny Dyer and actor Hero Fiennes Tiffin at West Ham United, when they took part in a celebrity match. Captioning a snap of the trio, he penned: "A DREAM COME TRUE.

"It still hasn't sunk in, what an amazing experience to play at the bowl and to top it off with a goal! Always thanks to @sellebrity_uk."
