Retired 90s pop star famed for a string of hits looks completely unrecognisable with his VERY smooth features - but can YOU guess who it is?

As a dedicated follower of pop culture from the 90s, it brings me great joy to recognize former Take That star Jason Orange, even after all these years. His transformation from a vibrant pop sensation to a retired gentleman is nothing short of amazing. The classic Mercedes and the casual coffee break in London’s upscale St John’s Wood area are telltale signs of his new, quieter life.


A well-known 90s pop star, recognized for numerous chart-toppers, appeared almost unidentifiable due to his exceptionally sleek appearance as he was photographed receiving a parking violation notice.

Sporting a mane of silver locks and a scruffy beard, he appeared unrecognizable compared to his days as the frontman in a band, having parted ways with them back in 2014.

At the age of 54, the singer managed to maintain his attractive and youthful appearance, donning dark glasses with tinted blue lenses while nonchalantly draping a jacket across one shoulder.

Following a brief pause for an outdoor coffee break at The Ivy in London, the celebrity found himself troubled upon discovering a parking fine on his vintage Mercedes.

So do you know who it is?

It appears that Jason Orange, once a member of Take That, is fully embracing his lifestyle change following his departure from the band in search of a more tranquil existence in 2014.

He was spotted driving a classic Mercedes and stopping for a drink outside in the sun on Thursday.

The star was also holding a jacket from the fashion company Autograph out in the affluent area of St John’s Wood, in snaps obtained by TopMob.

Jason became well-known when he was a member of the initial band formation that included popular figure Gary Barlow (age 53), older still Howard Donald (age 56), Robbie Williams (age 50), and Mark Owen (age 52).

1995 was a tough time for the band’s followers as Robbie decided to leave, and by the following year, each member pursued their own paths.

The band then decided to reunite without Robbie in 2005. 

When he left in 2014, Jason expressed his sense of pride for the accomplishments we had made throughout our years together.

Over the course of some truly remarkable chapters in my life, I’ve had the privilege of sharing time with Take That. To all those who have accompanied me on this adventure – from my fellow musicians to our supportive fans – I extend my heartfelt gratitude. My bandmates, whom I consider more like brothers than colleagues, have been an integral part of these cherished experiences.

2023 saw Mark expressing his sentiments towards Jason during an interview with The Times, stating that he had lost interest in the task at hand.

He expressed that Jason seemed to no longer wish to continue, but it’s important to note that I can’t definitively say his feelings. After all, he’s still present with us.

Recently, we found ourselves discussing which member of the band has the knack for telling the funniest jokes, and it reminded us that Jason often chuckles prior to delivering the punchline.

In the year 2020, Robbie reconnected with the band for a unique lockdown show, but it was Jason who chose not to participate.

In an interview with Metro, Gary mentioned that he occasionally receives updates from his bandmate, Jason.

After responding to the email, it seems to malfunction. The issue is larger than we might assume. He appears to have severed ties with a life that no longer appealed to him.

If you were 20, you might initiate the conversation, but given that he’s an adult, it’s important to acknowledge his choice not to participate. Respecting his decision was challenging for us, as it was difficult to see him leave.

Gary also admitted that Jason ‘didn’t want any creative involvement’ and ‘wanted to leave’.
