90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days fans are going nuts over this picture of Big Ed from 1988. At first, many 90 Day Fiancé fans questioned if the two men were even the same person.

The 4-foot-2 San Diego native at first made it really easy to root for him and his foreign relationship when he debuted on the hit TLC show. He was jolly and awkward with a lovable dog named Teddy, who he used to block his appearance on Skype, but he has now become one of the most unliked due to his creepy approach to his girlfriend. Many are questioning the motives of his girlfriend, Rosemarie but now after the last episode fans are confused as to what his true motives may be.

Evidently, Big Ed wasn’t the only fox at the San Diego zoo back in 1988 as confirmed that picture cruising around the internet was in fact him. This week the new reality star told TMZ that it was indeed him in the picture taken 31 years ago. In the picture Big Ed was seen in a model stance as he showed off his much slimmer figure and tan bod while wearing all white; the photo must have been snapped before Labor Day. The TLC personality revealed that the photo was taken while on his second date with his ex-wife at the world-famous zoo.

The photographer was not sure how his photos became an internet sensation, but he assumed that someone had taken photos from his private Facebook account. Big Ed has found the recent weeks hard as he has currently been portrayed as an ungrateful American due to his uncouth reactions to Rosemarie hometown and living scenario. TLC audiences were not happy that Big Ed had basically demanded she shaves her legs as he finds it more appealing to him sexually. Fans were also upset with the TLC personality for complaining the entire time he stayed in Rosemarie’s house and opting for a hotel to getaway.

While it is understandable that Big Ed may not have been accustomed to the extreme heat, rain, or poverty he could have been more prepared. Fans are hoping that he can redeem himself in upcoming episodes but are not holding their breath. It makes sense why Rosemarie would want to leave her town for a better life for her and her son, Prince. Hopefully, the couple can figure their relationship out and have their happy ending.
