CORONATION Street star Ruxandra Porojnicu looks completely different after landing a movie role alongside Jennifer Saunders and Ed Sheeran.
She looked worlds away from Corrie character Alina Pop while revealing her next project eight months after exiting the ITV soap.
Screen beauty Ruxandra, 28, showed fans her new and edgy appearance on Instagram, after growing her hair long and wavy while sporting a fringe.
The actress has also ditched salon worker Alina’s trademark eyeliner for a more natural, fresh-faced look.
The stunning actress recently teased a new acting job – although she has been coy on giving anything away.
In a video on Instagram she said she had been attempting to brush up on her Portuguese language skills ahead of filming for a new role.
