Mike Myers surprised everyone with his new look at the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute in Hollywood. The 60-year-old Austin Powers actor attended the event to celebrate Nicole Kidman and was seen dressed in a black tuxedo.
On the Dolby Theatre red carpet, Myers was beaming and had an unrecognizable appearance that left onlookers in awe.
He made his first public appearance in a year, sporting a short grey buzzcut and a stubbled beard. Miles Teller, star of Top Gear, added Shrek's voice. To the surprise of the crowd, he appeared on stage first wearing a mask and cape before taking them off.
Mike's final on-screen appearance was in the 2022 film Amsterdam, directed by David O. Russell. He played the lead role in The Pentaverate, a play he wrote, that same year.
Despite the lack of official confirmation, he fueled rumours by refusing to rule out the possibility of a fourth instalment in his humorous espionage series, Austin Powers.
Speaking on The Jess Cagle Show in May of two years ago, he said: "I can neither confirm nor deny the existence or non-existence of such a project, should it exist or not exist. [That’s a] non-confirmed confirmation."
