Here's What The Kid From The Cover Of Nirvana's 'Nevermind' Looks Like Now

It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since Nirvana dropped their 1991 album, Nevermind. I was a mere twinkle in my father's eye back then.

The record, along with its artwork, which featured a naked baby underwater, went down in music history as one of the most recognisable album covers of all time.

The unwitting star of the band's breakthrough, Spencer Elden, is now also 25 and says he's often introduced as the 'Nirvana baby' decades after its release.

He told CNN: "When I am introduced, they introduce me as the Nirvana baby.

"My dad was an artist rigging special effects for Hollywood. They went to the local pool, threw me in the water and that was it.

"It was a friend-helping-a-friend kind of thing."

Elden is currently a fine art student and studies at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.

Last year, he told TIME: "Looking back, it feels kind of stupid doing interviews about it, because I had nothing to do with it, but a lot to do with it all at the same time.

"It's a really weird feeling being a part of someone else's momentum - being caught up in this wake of stuff."

He added: "Nirvana's cool, I guess - it's just weird being a part of it."
