Mehdi, 26, looks very different with shorter, darker hair and well-groomed beard.
The short clip, which is circulating on social media, shows a younger Mehdi lip syncing to Anaconda by US rap sensation Nicki Minaj in 2015.
Love Island fans have raced to comment on the hilarious clip, with one writing: “Lmao I actually adore Mehdi, he’s funny and sweet.”
Another posted: “This is adorable,” while a third added: “Love the fact that he loves Niki Minaj and isn’t afraid to show it.”
It comes after fans were all left worried that the French man had “disappeared” just days into the brand new series of the programme.
Viewers of the ITV2 dating show were left sharing their concern as the boy seemed to barely feature on the show.
Mehdi hasn’t had the easiest ride in the villa so far after his original partner, Ruchee Gurung, ditched him on night one after declaring there was no connection between the two.
Since then, the contestant has struggled to make any solid connections and has led fans to declare him “missing” over his lack of screen time since.
Writing on Twitter, one fan said: “Why did I forget that Mehdi is still here.”
Another joked: “Someone make a missing person poster for Mehdi.”
A third penned: “Mehdi is actually missing.”
“Where is Mehdi in all this?,” asked a fourth, before a fifth added: “Where is Mehdi may I ask?”
Despite initially being left happy in a couple with Ruchee, Mehdi accepted the lack of chemistry between the two when Ruchee opted to leave him on the opening night when Maya Jama offered a bombshell chance for the Islanders to escape their couples.
He has attempted to strike up a connection with the show’s latest bombshell Whitney but the jury is still out on if they will manage to find a long lasting connection.
