Yoh! Zola, is that you?

A couple of weeks ago The Juice reported that Zola would be returning to our screens on the drama series Ayeye and that he would be playing the role of a Recycler, he even talked about how it was an honour to play the role .

But nothing could prepare us for seeing Zola in character. He really looks like a recycler you would be likely to bump into on the street. He's packed on the pounds, has taken to wearing grimy clothes and refuses to shave - all in the name of acting.

Maybe we just forgot how he used to play the role of a thug so well in Yizo Yizo?  Or maybe we underestimated how good an actor he is? But one thing is for sure, if we saw Zola pushing a cart on the side of the road we wouldn't be able to tell the difference!

And we might not be the only ones.
