He may be a self-proclaimed reality TV ‘super villain’, but Dean Wells isn’t afraid to poke fun at himself.
The Married At First Sight star took to Instagram on Tuesday to share photos of himself from his first wedding.
The Manly-based hip hop artist, 40, looked hardly recognisable in the throwback snaps, which were taken around 1999.

Dean was sporting a very dated hairstyle in the pictures, perhaps inspired by The Beatles or Shaggy from Scooby-Doo.
While he is known to MAFS fans for his stubble and comb over, the Visionz rapper was noticeably clean shaven for the occasion.
Posing at a solo photo, Dean smiled absent-mindedly while leaning against a tree and gazing out to the distance.

Dean captioned his post: ‘Here’s how I looked at my first wedding! Haha. I’m thinking of going back to this hairstyle. It will be 3rd time lucky?!?’
Fans weren’t afraid to tell him what they really thought of his late ’90s look, with one writing: ‘Oh my word… you look 13.’
‘Please don’t EVER do this again,’ a follower commented, before another jokingly asked: ‘Were you in a cult?’
Poking fun: Dean’s friend and MAFS co-star Ryan Gallagher had everyone chuckling with his comment: ‘Where Scooby and the mystery machine, Shaggy?’

Dean previously spoke to The Fix about his first marriage, saying that he and his American bride met while she was studying in Australia and tied the knot when he was just 21-years-old.
‘We were together until I was 30, and we had a great time. We had an amazing marriage for those years, but in the end, it just didn’t really work out,’ he said.
