A 70S sitcom legend looked unrecognisable as he was pictured in LA - but can you guess who it is?
The actor is now 85 but showed he hasn't lost his sense of humour as he was pictured wearing a 'Make America Normal Again' cap.

This was a cheeky nod to President Donald Trump's slogan 'Make America Great Again'.
Indeed, actor Mike Farrell displayed plenty of wit in his role as army doctor B.J. Hunnicutt in hit comedy series M*A*S*H.
Mike joined the iconic show during its fourth series, replacing Wayne Rogers as the squad's doc.
M*A*S*H premiered in 1972 and aired for 11 series until it came to an end in 1983.
The finale broke records after it was watched by 105 million people worldwide.
The show also starred Alan Alda and Wayne Rogers as the main protagonists, before Wayne left in season four.
The original cast also included Loretta Swit, McClean Stevenson, Gary Burghoff, Jamie Farr and William Christopher.
M*A*S*H wasn't Mike's first big show though, as he had previously starred in Days of Our Lives as Scott Banning from 1968-1970.

Following the M*A*S*H finale, Mike continued to act, appearing in medical drama Providence, Desperate Housewives and The Red Road.
Mike was also a producer on the 1998 film Patch Adams, starring the late, great Robin Williams.

Away from his acting career, Mike is also an activist, particularly for animal welfare and and human rights.
He is married to second wife, actress Shelley Fabares, who he tied the knot with in 1984.
Mike has two children from his first marriage to High School teacher Judy Hayden.
