SHARON HORGAN IS undoubtedly one of the funniest women we’ve produced. But before she was famous she worked a regular job like the rest of us.

She’s been telling her story on Instagram of how she made it in London and how that at 21 her big break seemed very, very far away.

Worth noting that it took ten years from when this photo was taken to get my first paid job in TV. TEN YEARS. By the time I got these photos done I had been working in Kilburn Job centre for two years so things were really going according to plan in terms of the big dream.

Her many piercings and incredible eyebrows aside, Sharon got the photos taken by a man who asked her to come back to his flat which she did. A decision that not many of us would make now but anyway.

Thank you man who took my photo. Maybe you were just a really nice guy and not a perv at all.

We live in hope he wasn’t anyway.

I look at old photos of me and I look at me now with my scars and rosacea and wrinkles and hair loss and I think the only positive is I can literally see in my eyes how stupid I was back then.

It is a beautiful shot of Sharon and serves as a reminder that you can plan for stuff as much as you like, but you can never be sure when or even if you’re going to get your break. We for one are very glad that she did.

Given how successful ‘Catastrophe’ and ‘Divorce’ are and the fact that she now has her own production company Merman, we’re pretty sure 1991 Sharon is very proud of 2018 Sharon.

Either way, it’s always good to see how many piercings people had in their youth and how many survived the years.
