Rhys Nicholson stunned his friends and followers on Tuesday when he uploaded a candid birthday selfie which showed him looking very different.

The Australian comedian marked his 35th birthday this week with a jaw-dropping photo of himself looking decades older than his years.

Poking fun at himself, Rhys put an ageing filter over his face in the picture, giving himself weathered skin and several wrinkles.

‘She’s 35 today and feeling fresh,’ he joked, looking anything but. 

His famous friends left comments beneath the hilarious post. 

‘Looking more and more like one of my mum’s Aunties from Adelaide every day. Well done Rhys. Happy Birthday!’ radio presenter Merrick Watts said.

Meanwhile, celebrity drag queen Courtney Act pointed out Rhys looked identical to Australian politician Pauline Hanson in the photo. 

‘You don’t look a day over Pauline Hanson,’ Courtney wrote.

Rhys’ followers quickly jumped in on the joke. 

‘Ngl thought this was Pauline seeing the voting polls. Happy birthday!’ one person commented.

Another said, ‘Please explain,’ in reference to the iconic but unintentional catchphrase the One Nation senator is attributed with.

‘Lovely photo of Pauline Hanson,’ wrote another, while someone else said: ‘Jesus bloody Christ I thought Pauline had infiltrated my feed! HBD.’ 

It comes after the Drag Race Down Under judge and his husband Kyran sold their Coburg townhouse for $842,500 at auction last May.

Rhys and Kyran snapped up the modern two-storey property in 2017 and were not shy about transforming it with their weird and wacky renovations.

Friends and followers flocked to the comments, with many joking Rhys looked just like Australian politician Pauline Hanson

The actor said he had no intention of appealing to future buyers when he designed his home, adding that he wanted to inject his own personality into it.

His biggest change came in the kitchen when Rhys had the space expanded into a ‘sprawling’ area with green cabinetry, pink walls and three ovens.

‘I cook and we like having people over for dinner and having small get-togethers, so it just wasn’t conducive to that,’ Rhys said.

‘We had a couple of dinner parties there and it was just like, “We need to do something about this kitchen.”‘

Rhys and Kyran also transformed their upstairs bedroom into a spacious living area dubbed ‘the soft room’ for the luxurious, thick carpet.

Elevating their home with ‘absurd, stupid decorative things’, Rhys went on to say his ideal interior style is very ‘maximalist’ with a ‘healthy mixture of functional pieces’.
