Aspiring singer Ayanazai captured the internet’s attention with throwback photos of her father, Ryan Gentles, as part of the heartbreak challenge on July 11.

The trend encourages users to showcase how their loved ones have gracefully aged over time and Mr. Gentles has shown little to no signs of aging over the years. If you aren’t familiar with the handsome gent, the 47-year-old actor, notably collaborated with Tyler Perry Studios on various projects, including starring as heartthrob Nate in the stage play Madea Goes to Jail (2006) and appearing in the film adaptation of Madea’s Family Reunion and Perry’s What’s Done in the Dark.

Ayanazai’s nostalgic slideshow shared Thursday featured shirtless photos of her father sporting long locs and showcasing his muscular physique back in the day. One striking image even showed Gentles on the cover of Essence, with his bulky muscles on full display. Another heartfelt moment captured Gentles smiling alongside Perry and holding Ayanazai as a baby.

“My dad told me ‘He was like that back in the day,’” a text overlay featured on top of the video read.
