Amy Huberman looks unrecognisable in first ever magazine article
The actress began her career with On Home Ground, a two season drama about a GAA club in a small Irish town, where she played wild child Diane Collins.
And while Amy would be considered a glam woman nowadays, she found an old magazine article featuring her dressed as Dianne: complete with wild, curly hair, bold red lipstick, and studded belt with fishnet gloves (which was the style at the time). View this post on Instagram
A post shared by Amy Huberman (@amy_huberman)
'I mean. I do not know WHERE to start,' Amy wrote on her Instagram. 'I found this at my Mum's today. The first ever PR/press thing I ever did. (How was I going to follow that?!)
'It was for RTÉ drama On Home Ground, a show about a rural GAA community so I'm not entirely sure why I'm dressed like a Bon Jovi super fan in the 9th grade in Degrassi Junior High.
'I'm not even sure what magazine it was for as the page is ripped out but I do remember having a lot of fun that day,' she admitted, before joking that she didn't get a start as a model after the photoshoot.
'Just devo it didn't kick off an international modelling career (I mean that pose, come on?!) because I do not get out of bed for less than like, 1 euro, 20 cent.' Amy Huberman has shared an incredible throwback of her first ever magazine article — where she looks unrecognisable. Pic: RTE
People were shocked at just how different Amy looked, with her Fran the Man co-star Deirdre O'Kane commenting 'OMG!! Made my day!'
'This is amazing,' Sharon Horgan added, while Chris O'Dowd added a series of laughing emojis.
While she didn't grab the modelling contract from the show, she did go on to enjoy a fruitful acting career, with credits including on TV shows such as The Clinic, as well as in films such as Stella Days and The Stag, earning an IFTA nomination for Best Supporting Actress for the former.

Amy is also wed to Leinster legend Brian O'Driscoll; with her recently opening up about the chance encounter that led to her meeting the man that she'd go on to marry.
