A Wife Swap legend who had viewers in tears at his antics when he appeared on the show 13 years ago looks unrecognisable in new images.
Curtis Holland was just a youngster when he was filmed reacting to his dad's 'new wife' chucking out junk food from the fridge, and it was so hilarious the moment went viral.
Back in 2009, he rocketed too fame when he proclaimed "bacon is good for me" and told his mum for the week that he was "fat and happy" before packing his bags and running away in a protest, as writes Daily Star.
More than a decade on, King Curtis, Vanceboro, North Carolina, has now grown into a professional welder with a penchant for hunting.
His Instagram bio reveals what he does for a living and his grid suggests he spends most of his spare time riding around in pickup trucks shooting wildlife and fishing.
In the years since his TV moment, Curtis became a viral sensation multiple times - and now the video of him famously battling with his fitness fanatic replacement mum, Joy, has resurfaced once again.
One person recently posted to Twitter: "If you’re bored, watch this."
During one tantrum, the chicken nugget loving tyke wrote: “I am not listening to your rules" on a Post-It note.
In another particularly memorable scene, he responded to Joy’s veg and fruits diet by saying: "I gotta tell you something. Bacon is good for me!"
Another viral clip of him packing his suitcase to run away saw his angrily tell the camera: “She thinks out of the blue that she’s a smart little girl and she can do whatever she wants.
“No, that’s not how she can do it in our family. She acts like she’s the queen, and we’re the sorry people.”
Speaking to the New Statesman in 2017, Curtis said he still loves bacon - and he eats it every single day.
