Ibiza Final Boss unrecognisable in throwback snap earlier than the look as he is dubbed Baby Boss
EXCLUSIVE: Baby-faced Jack, 26, is seen in a pub with pals without his iconic haircut, shades and facial hair that made him an internet sensation after he was seen dancing in Ibiza
Perma-tanned party animal Jack Kay looks unrecognisable in an unearthed photo which shows him before his “Ibiza Final Boss” glow-up. Baby-faced Jack, 26, is seen in a pub with pals without his iconic haircut, shades and facial hair that made him an internet sensation.
The Geordie raver — who went viral for his distinctive bob, beard and bright white teeth while partying on the Spanish island — has his arm round a friend as the group pose for a photo in front of a fruit machine.
He has a short, back and sides haircut, but it is far removed from the medium skin fade that has become synonymous with the tattooed beefcake since a video of him dancing gained more than 26 million views on Tiktok.

It is unclear when the photo was taken, but he appears in his late teens. In another snap taken more recently, his sculpted face fuzz is visible and his hair is longer on top, but his appearance was still a work in progress compared with his iconic look.
We previously reported how Jack visits D&G Barbers in Gateshead every two weeks to keep his trim looking sharp. Co-owner Ali Kurbani told how his business partner Danny Karimi has been cutting Jack’s hair for seven years and dreamt up the divisive do.
It comes as “Boss fever” ramped up across the UK and Ibiza. Jack has used his newfound stardom to launch nightclub tours on the White Island and has even been seen filming a brief clip with adult performer Bonnie Blue.
He is also said to be launching a music career to take his fame to new heights as he features on a new dance track released on Spotify after he signed with a management team after taking the internet by storm and making a splash with pool parties at luxury villas.
Meanwhile, a hardcore fan has had a tattoo of his face on their leg and an artist in Nottingham has painted a mural of Jack’s likeness near a skatepark.
We previously reported how he was seen dancing with one of the dwarves who attended Lamine Yamal’s controversial 18th birthday bash – dressed up as a “mini” version of himself.
Jack posted a video of himself and entertainer Juan Alberto Duaso dancing in a luxury villa on the party island surrounded by bikini-clad beauties and other young men after he returned to the holiday hotspot.
Duaso was seen with a matching bob barnet, facial hair and sunglasses to Jack as they partied at a €9million Blue Stone Villa, tucked away in the hills of upmarket Santa Eulalia. Jack wrote on Instagram: “The final boss and the mini boss out tonight. See you soon.”
Jack shot to fame when Zero Six West Ibiza posted footage on TikTok of him dancing at a club in a chain and black tank top holding a drink. It was viewed by millions and sparked hundreds of memes and jokes.
Companies like Greggs and EasyJet soon made marketing parodies of the meme and he was dubbed the “Ibiza Final boss”, a reference to the last and typically most difficult enemy to face in a video game. Jack now has more than 120,000 followers on Instagram and more than 800,000 likes on TikTok.
