Towie's James Lock rocks Tarzan look as he shares saucy shirtless selfie

The Only Way Is Essex star James Lock bore a striking resemblance to Tarzan as he shared a shirtless mirror selfie.

James, 35, rocked longer brown hair as he posed in his underwear for the saucy photo.

He showed off his muscular physique and furrowed his eyebrows while looking like Brendan Fraser's character in 1997 film George Of The Jungle.

"Morning…. " he casually captioned the post and added a bearded man emoji and a peace sign emoji.

Fans were in awe at his physique and took to his comment section to compliment him.

Pal Gemma Collins commented: "Jesus," while Nathan Henry from Geordie Shore said: "good f***ing morning."

"What a lovely photo to open up my Insta on," an impressed fan posted.

One user said about his physique: "Shred shred shred."

James underwent a £5,000 'ear surgery' and a £6,000 hair transplant in 2018 after trolls told him he 'looked like Hitler'.

Speaking to The Sun, James said: "People will always criticise you but I'm a firm believer that if something affects your confidence and can be fixed, then why not fix it?"

He added: "Some people think I'm having an early midlife crisis, but I'm not. I have had a couple of insecurities since I was a kid about my ears and my hairline.

"One of my ears was cauliflower from playing rugby, and the other one had cartilage that stuck out since I was born. So the surgeon pulled them back to make them look more symmetrical.

"I'm a believer that if something bothers you then fix it. So this is the price I have paid to make me feel good about myself, and for my body confidence."

Meanwhile, James recently said he's 'matured' since his Towie days when he was 'single and enjoying it'.

"I'm not being funny, but I was on a massive TV show, which is very popular and still is to this day and I was a main character on it, I go out, and most of my following are female. When you go out and you get that attention and you've got that power…" he said.

James told MailOnline: "Now I'm not trying to be this lothario jumping from girl to girl I'm looking for something a bit more."

He added that he's more 'mature' and can no longer be 'bothered texting loads of girls'.
