Jamie Oliver posted a vintage throwback to his Instagram on Thursday that sent fans wild with excitement.
The 47-year-old television chef thrilled his online followers when he posted a fresh-faced snap of himself from 20 years ago.
Pulling a leopard print trolley behind him, the star smiled over his shoulder at the camera as it captured him gallivanting through Paris’s streets.
Alongside the jungle-themed accessory, the famous face embraced the fashion of the time and sported a double denim ensemble of blue-washed jeans and a jacket to match.
He wrapped a scarf around his neck to ward off the cold and clutched a white plastic shopping back in his other hand as he strolled across a zebra crossing.
The celebrated cook captioned his upload: ‘Me in Paris 20 years ago. Effortlessly fashion forward. Very advanced trolly action. Always humble. #OOTD [sic]’.

The star introduced fans to a curry recipe that would only cost them a pound per person and it went down a real treat.
He claimed the air fryer meal tasted ‘better than takeaway’ and shared the dish on his Channel 4 cooking show.
Breaking down the unbelievably cheap cost of the dinner idea, Jamie revealed: ‘If you want to cook up Karan’s cauliflower curry, investing in some spices will help turn everyday ingredients into show-stopping meals.
‘Serving four, this beautiful dish comes in at 84p per portion’.
The stellar dish was concocted with the help of fellow chef Karan Gokani.

Karan said of his creation: ‘A humble vegetable turned into something so different. Just elevated and naturally budget friendly.
‘You’ve got a dish that you can make at home in less than half an hour at less than a quid a portion that’s better than any takeaway you’re going to get at a fraction of the price when you’re feeding a whole family’.
