Access raw Eloquent mutated attribute value in Laravel 5

The method you look for is getOriginal. To get the original value you might use:

$this->getOriginal('some_bar');

In model is defined this var:

/**
 * The model attribute's original state.
 *
 * @var array
 */
protected $original = array();

It's protected so you should add a function to get original's values
