Karen Gillan shares the childhood throwback snap that gave her mum a "fright"

She may be an intergalactic superstar who’s travelled through space and time with Doctor Who and the Guardians of The Galaxy but Karen Gillan hasn’t forgotten where she came from.

The Scottish actress shared a very sweet snap from her early days on her official Instagram account and fans couldn’t help but coo over her luscious red locks.

“My mum just txt me this saying she got a fright,” the actress wrote as she posted the picture online.

We don’t know about you but we’re loving Karen’s ginger tresses, even if they’re a world away from the bright blue Nebula look she’s sporting in the upcoming Guardians sequel.
