Guess who? This controversial Married At First Sight star had a cheeky smile from a young age as shown in this adorable throwback photo

He created plenty of controversy on this year’s season of Married At First Sight.

And as evidence by his cheeky smile in a childhood photo, this former reality star has always had a mischievous side.

While he didn’t find lasting love on the Channel Nine reality show, this participant certainly made a lasting impression.

It’s James Susler, one of the grooms on this year’s season of Married At First Sight.

The 44-year-old luxury car dealership owner was paired with Joanne Todd on the hit reality show.

But his ‘marriage’ to the 39-year-old barber was plagued with problems, and they opted out of the experiment early.

Their relationship sensationally came to a dramatic head after James joked about having an affair with one of the show’s ‘love experts’, Alessandra Rampolla. 

While he found it funny, neither Joanne or Alessandra, 47, were laughing, with both women left humiliated by his fake admission.

Sharing a childhood throwback photo on Instagram on Tuesday, a young James can be seen smiling mischievously at the camera.

‘Flashback to extreme youth! I have to say it – I reckon I was pretty cute!!’ he captioned the post.

He added: ‘I think that zip-front’s pretty OK too. I’d still wear that.’ 

Clearly impressed by his sense of style as a young boy, James included the hashtags: ‘#sartorial’, ‘#flashthefash’, ‘#melbournelife’, ‘#thanksmumanddad’, ‘#vintagestyle’.
