A child star of Desperate Housewives looks completely unrecognizable 17 years after starring on the hit series.

Mason Vale Cotton, now 22, starred in the ABC soap when he was just a child and is now very different from his iconic role.

He played the role of MJ Delfino, the son of Susan Mayer and Mike Delfino, from 2008 to 2012.

Desperate Housewives ran for an incredible eight series starting in 2004 and followed the close-knit group of women who resided at Wisteria Lane. The series ended in 2012.

In the actor’s recent photos on his Instagram account, where he has around 10,000 followers, Mason looks much more grown-up.

Mason Vale Cotton, now 22, starred in the ABC soap when he was just a child and is now very different from his iconic role.

Mason, who last posted in April, still sports his signature blonde hairstyle, but now has some facial hair.

In a black and white snap, Mason held a cigarette and posed for the camera in a sultry manner, looking worlds away from her Desperate Housewives character.

He also shared several loved-up snaps with his girlfriend, who he has been with for over a year.

He was born on June 25, 2002, in San Diego, California, and began playing an uncredited role in the 2006 television special A Dennis the Menace Christmas.

After leaving Desperate Housewives, he continued his career as a child actor on the AMC drama series Mad Men as Bobby Draper, a role which earned him a nomination at the 2016 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

It comes after Vanessa Williams hinted at a Desperate Housewives reunion while discussing the iconic series at the Pride of Britain Awards.

The 61-year-old American actress admitted that “it would be difficult to recreate the same magic” for a reboot, but she would certainly be open to a reunion with the main cast.

Vanessa starred as Renee Perry on the hit ABC series alongside Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Eva Longoria.

It comes after Vanessa Williams hinted at a Desperate Housewives reunion while discussing the iconic series at the Pride of Britain Awards.

Speaking to MailOnline, she said: ‘There could possibly be a Desperate Housewives reunion, I’m not sure if there will be a reboot because it was so great and it’s encapsulated in time, how difficult it is to recreate the same magic.

“But believe me, if everyone said they would do it, I’m sure we’ll make it.”

Vanessa then revealed a reunion could happen sooner than fans expected as she contacted her former co-stars to invite them to her opening night at The Devil Wears Prada in the West End more late this year.

She continued: “I’m talking to the girls, I spoke to Teri Hatcher last week and invited her to the opening on December 1st, she’s not available but we’ll see if any of the other girls will show up.”
