That looks nothing like Anderson Cooper!

The TV star took to Instagram over the weekend to thank fans for their birthday wishes — and shared a hilarious throwback photo of himself in the process!

Probably 1993," the 50-year-old captioned the flashback snapshot of himself looking young as ever with brown hair on Saturday, June 3. We can't get over how different Anderson looked before his silver fox days!
