Sporting glasses, a short do with a parrot perched on the top of his head, local crooner Nathan Hartono looks almost unrecognisable in this throwback photo.

The heartthrob displayed his patriotism with this caption that accompanied the snap, “Embarrassing photos ahead but it tells a story…anyway, you’ve been warned: Singapore is not simply defined by the scenery, the shopping, or even the food. Singapore is defined by its people”.

“People who have dedicated their lives to a passion. And in that pursuit, have turned it into something much bigger, something few thought possible. With millions of stories of such passion, all on this tiny island, there really is no place like this. #PassionMadePossible”.

Before he grew up to become a famous actor, it looks like Elvin wanted to be a race car driver.

The hunky local actor reminisced his childhood days and posted this cute snap of himself along with this anecdote, “Sharing a throwback photo of myself when I used to zoom around on my toy car and scooter! I still remember how I used to go as fast as I could, couldn’t care less about crashing into things around the house, getting a scraped knee, and a good scolding from my mum. Those were my glorious “garang” (daring in the Malay language) day! I thought I’d be much more fearless as an adult but sadly, that’s not true. Now that I’m older, I wonder where all my fearlessness went. Why are we so wary, cautious and fearful of the little bumps in life?”
