Apparently, anyway, according to a source that will remain unnamed.
Yesterday Abi and I collaborated yet again — 36 weeks down, only 16 to go! — and this time we both made ourselves out to look like our 16-year-old selves. We then (kind of romantically?) described what it might’ve been like if we’d met a decade ago. She jokes that I only had to shave to take this photo, while she actually had to like… put some badges on, do her hair, stuff her bra, etc. I’d like to point out the authentic Kangol shirt (and that I had the option of a blue, iridescent Ben Sherman shirt too!) Sadly my big Quiksilver jumper was finally thrown in the trash a few months ago, or I would’ve worn that.
Despite the fairly glowing reviews we give each other, I think neither of us had a great sixteenth year. It’s a period I haven’t talked about here before, and probably never will. It made me the loner I am today!
I’m actually going to take some better photos of my freshly-shaved baby face in a few days (I intentionally made my hair look greasy, because that’s how it looked when I was a teen!), but for now… here’s a video of me assuming the character of 16-year-old Seb.
The few facial expressions towards the end are actually scarily similar to how I looked almost 10 years ago. I’m going to dig up some photos of when I was actually 16 — stay tuned!

.. Hey, you had me at “quiksilver jumper”. I wouldn’t share half the stuff I do with you if I knew you were going to then blog it and make me feel bad for pointing these things out!

What do you mean “A bit like Severus Snape.” You could pass for him at immigration or the Ministry of Magic. That’s not a bad thing since Snape was one of the heroes of the books.

Great pictures! I love both Abi and your commentary on each other. I can’t decide if it sounds more brother/sister or more could-have-been-lovers-in-another time….

I am more than slightly freaked out at how this seems to be a completely different person than the bearded gentleman a couple of posts back. Though the sneer was hilarious.

This was a really clever idea. And well carried out by both of you! Now for the next phase to it, you should meet up and be in the same photo together looking like you normally do. Then do a split screen shot of “then and now”.
