A CHRISTMAS movie villain looks unrecognizable 40 years after the hit film was released. In 1983, A Christmas Story came out, with the movie taking festive film buffs by surprise - and now they will be surprised to see what one of the villains from the flick looks like today.

The classic movie focuses on Ralphie, a nine-year-old boy who tries to convince his parents, his teacher, and Santa that he needs a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Then, on Christmas morning, Ralphie receives some presents that he likes but is disappointed not to find the rifle among them.

Ralphie's dad then directs him to one last box hidden in the corner, which proves to contain the rifle. And now one of the movie villains from the flick has resurfaced on social media, with the star looking worlds away from how he did in the Christmas film.

Zack Ward played Scut Farkus in A Christmas Story, with him resurfacing on Instagram for a chat ahead of the new movie he recently directed and co-wrote. The Scut Farkus actor recently directed and co-wrote The Keepers of the 5 Kingdoms, which is on Amazon Prime, with him chatting in an Instagram video this week.

While chatting in the video, Zack was asked how he pulled together such an "amazing group" of Asian actors. "It was amazing," he said, before admitting that he "fanboyed" over them. In the video, Zack could be seen donning a blue shirt with a white top underneath, with the actor also donning some glasses.
