Marvel star Sebastian Stan has shared the most adorable throwback snap and it has fans calling for the same thing.

The actor, who stars as Bucky Barnes - aka the Winter Soldier - in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is rarely on social media but returned on Saturday to post a photo from 1986.

"In 1986, I ran a small business in Romania. By phone. On an analog system. On Christmas, I was still working," he captioned the post, which saw a six-year-old Sebastian perched on a green corduroy chair with a landline phone held up to his ear.
