Braveheart child star is unrecognisable 27 years after playing William Wallace’s love interest
A SCOTS child star who played William Wallace's love interest in Braveheart 27 years ago looks unrecognisable today.
Mhairi Calvey, now 33, played five-year-old Murran - the younger version of Wallace's lover in the popular Mel Gibson film.
Gibson directed the famous flick that charted the Scottish hero's life.
The actress starred in the movie - which went on to win five Oscars - when she was just five years old which came out back in 1995.

She later went on to study her BA (Hons) in Acting at the Guildford School of Acting.
In 2016, she decided to continue pursuing her passion for acting and make her comeback into the industry and has since starred in feature films Fear The Invisible Man, The Eastern Front and Robert The Bruce.
Last year, she won Best Newcomer at The National Film Awards.
