After over a year of absence, Mike Myers made a rare public outing as he attended the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute on Saturday and stunned fans with a new look. The actor, 60, traded in his shaggy locks for a silver buzzcut and looked unrecognizable at his first public event in over a year.
Myers returned to the spotlight to attend the gala tribute at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre, in honor of Nicole Kidman, cutting a dapper figure in a black tuxedo. He appeared on the star-studded red carpet alongside celebrities like Meryl Streep and Morgan Freeman, sporting his new hairdo and grey stubble – a stark contrast from his usual shaggy brown hair and clean face.
The Shrek and Austin Powers star flaunted his new appearance on stage, walking into the limelight wearing a black cloak and a Venetian mask, a nod to Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut. Fans were quick to shower him with compliments on social media, with many noting his youthful and baby-faced look.
This public appearance comes after almost two years of absence from the screen, with Myers last appearing in David O. Russell’s Amsterdam in 2022. He recently created and starred in the Netflix series The Pentaverate and hinted at the possibility of a fourth Austin Powers movie. Despite his fans’ excitement, Myers joked that his family is “remarkably unexcited” about his upcoming projects.
Fans are eagerly awaiting to see what the future holds for Mike Myers and his iconic characters, including the beloved Dr. Evil. Stay tuned for more updates on the actor’s career and potential new projects.
