Baby politicos: ’70s flashback edition

Take out the scruffy retro and lip fuzz, can you recognize this square-shaped head?

Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra posed for this photo when he was in love with his ex-wife Potjaman Na Pombejra, who looks super chic in her supersized shades, before he became a square.

Literally. His head looks like a widescreen edition back in the 1970s before it became the perfectly square object it is today.

Former first daughter Paetongtarn Shinawatra shared this undated photo with the world via Instagram, but did not provide any details beyond a caption reading “Who’s that? #vintage #lovelove.”
