Noughties TV show cast unrecognisable as they reunite eight years after show was axed

THE Glee stars looked unrecognisable as they reunited eight years after the show was axed.

Some of the cast got together on Wednesday to stand in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike.

Glee, which had 121 episodes run through six series, hit our screens back in 2009.

It came with a whole host of fresh-faced actors that saw their popularity grow - with some finding it a struggle to cope with their newfound fame.

By 2015, the show came to an end with some of the stars going on to great things, while others have become known for their tragic demise.

The likes of Brittany Pierce actress Heather Morris, Jenna Ushkowitz, who played Tina Cohen-Chang, Kitty Wilde played by Becca Tobin and Nick Warbler played by Curt Megam were amongst those in attendance.

Kevin Mchale who played wheelchair-using student Artie Abrams shared the snap on social media.

Alongside a selection of pictures, he said: "Glee day on the picket line."

Fans rushed to the comment section in disbelief at how the stars looked unrecognisable.

One fan commented: "They look so different."

"Literally can’t tell if Dianna is there or not like which one of those blonde women is she?" a second wrote.

A third penned: "WTH happened I can only only recognise Brittney Artie Blaine and Jenna."

The Glee cast members are on strike due to a breakdown in negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild union and streaming services.

The strike means that both Hollywood actors and writers will not be going to work until certain grievances are addressed.

National Executive Director and Chief Negotiator of SAG-AFTRA, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, said the studios "left us with no alternative" than to strike.

SAG President Fran Drescher said in a speech that the "entire business model has been changed by streaming, digital, A.I."

She added: "This is a very big deal and it weighed heavy on us. At some point, you have to say no, we’re not going to take it anymore.

"The jig is up…. We demand respect. You share the wealth, because you cannot exist without us."
