The Guy Who Played Gregory Goyle in Harry Potter Looks TOTALLY Different These Days

Fans of the Harry Potter series will hopefully remember Gregory Goyle as one of Draco Malfoy's two loathsome lackeys (the other being Vincent Crabbe). He's pictured above, if you're all out of memory potion. Back then, the actor who played him, Josh Herdman, had British beefcake boarding school bully features ... but also sort of a babyface thing happening?

But now the 28-year-old has taken a break from acting in order to become a cage fighter, and yeah, he sure looks different. He's grown up!

According to the BBC,  Herdman comes from a family of boxers and rugby players, so martial arts runs in his blood. He's already won his first match, which took place in London over the weekend,​against Polish fighter Janusz Walachowski​. 

Despite spending the last few years in training, Herdman hasn't totally given up on acting forever.  "I haven't fallen out of love with it, I still have an agent and still go for auditions," he told Addictedotr.com​. "It's just a little bit like playing the lottery for a living."​

Herdman has also taken on the role of daddy to a son named Morgan, whom he shares with partner Jessica Worth.

As for Jamie Waylett, who played Crabbe, ​he was sentenced to two years in prison in 2012 for taking part in the London riots. In other words, it looks like both Crabbe and Goyle still have the fighting spirit!
