Heidi Klum indulged fans with a fun Q&A on her Instagram stories on Wednesday and shared a head-turning photo in the process.
The America's Got Talent judge chatted with her social media followers who bombarded her with questions about her life, including her beauty regime.
When one fan asked: "Heidi, were you born blonde?" she responded with a photo of herself as a child.
In the image, the Germany's Next Top Model host was unrecognizable with dark, brown hair which she had styled in a bowl cut with short, straight bangs.
She wore a rollneck sweater and smiled sweetly for the camera, but anyone would be forgiven for not recognizing the little girl to be Heidi as a kid.

Heidi has come a long way since her childhood and not only carved out an incredible career for herself but she's also raised four kids of her own.
She shares Leni, 19, Henry, 18, Johan, 17, and Lou, 14, with ex-husband Seal.

Heidi's two youngest are still in school but it won't be long before Johan is making plans for his future too.
The mom-of-four recently opened up about her children's personalities and said that all four of them had developed "thick skin".

"People who don't like me might automatically not like her either," she said. "She must have thick skin, but my children do."
Heidi added that although Leni has chosen to follow in her footsteps in the modeling world, she is her own person.

While Heidi - who is married to Tokio Hotel rocker Tom Kaulitz - has done her best to keep her children out of the limelight and often shields their faces on social media posts, they did step out for a rare public appearance recently with their dad, Seal.

Fans couldn't get over how tall Johan and Henry are as they appeared to have almost overtaken their 6ft 2 father.
