Josh has taken the bold decision to go hair gel free

First Neil Buchanan from Art Attack, now Alex Kew of My Parents Are Aliens fame. What is with these noughties TV personalities and the passing of time?

Most of us know Alex Kew for playing the role of Josh Barker, adopted son to alien parents from the planet Valux.

The surreal children’s sitcom cultivated young and old audiences, thanks to Josh’s often searing comebacks the inclusion of high-brow references and rebellious humour.

Well things have changed and this is what Kew is up to now.

Bearded, guitar-playing and distinctly lacking in hair gel. It’s almost as if 10 years have passed and Alex has changed as a person.

 

Mainly gigging in High Wycombe and the surrounding areas, Alex has also appeared on BBC Introducing, Three Counties.

Real MPAA fans may remember that Alex’s character Josh was a keen, talented guitarist too.

Maybe this is a culmination of the story arc about wooing Tania with his virtuosic prowess? Maybe he’s just doing something else with his life.
