Chris Appleton spent years being the person behind the celebrity image.
Now look at the paparazzi photos of him.
The funny career reversal is that he’s becoming the product he used to help create the body, the styling, the pose, the whole visual package.
And the timing makes it even more interesting.
He had just moved further into performing, first with Baywatch and then Strictly Come Dancing. Suddenly, being photographed isn’t just part of his lifestyle anymore. It’s becoming part of his celebrity career.
The hairstylist who built his reputation making other people camera-ready is now learning what it’s like to be the one everyone wants in the frame.
