Mike Myers Removes Mask At AFI Gala, Revealing “Unrecognizable” New Look

ADVERTISEMENT

Mike Myers surprised his fans when he stepped out on the red carpet of the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute in Hollywood on Saturday (April 27).

The event, which honored Nicole Kidman‘s career, marked the 60-year-old actor’s first public event appearance in over a year.

The Austin Powers star appeared at the Dolby Theater in a gray buzz cut, contrasting the brushed-down brown hair he sported throughout his Hollywood career.

Highlights
  • Mike Myers made his first public appearance in over a year at the AFI Gala honoring Nicole Kidman.
  • Mike sported a buzz cut, a change from his iconic brushed-down brown locks.
  • The actor wore a mask on stage in a nod to Nicole's role in "Eyes Wide Shut."

During the ceremony, Mike came on stage wearing a mask—a reference to the 1999 Stanley Kubrick film Eyes Wide Shut, in which Nicole stars as Alice Harford alongside Tom Cruise.

Then, he dramatically removed the mask to reveal himself and gave a speech at the gala.

The Shrek star hasn’t appeared on screen since David O. Russell’s film Amsterdam was released in 2022. The same year, he created and starred in the Netflix original series The Pentaverate. The show centers on a secret society made up of five men who work to influence the most important world events since the Black Death of 1347.

But the project he’s arguably most known for is the Austin Powers franchise, in which he plays the eponymous title character as well as his nemesis, Mr. Evil.

While interviewed on the Today Show in May 2022, the Emmy winner shared that he’d “love” to make a fourth installment of the film.

Still, he didn’t confirm that a fourth Austin Powers movie was on the way.

“I can neither confirm nor deny the existence or non-existence of such a project, should it exist or not exist,” Mike said.

The actor and comedian is married to scenic artist Kelly Tisdale, with whom he shares three children: Spike, 12, Sunday, 10, and Paulina, 8. The family keeps a low profile while residing in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City.

While the Ontario-born star attended the gala on his own, Nicole, the woman of the hour, brought her husband, Keith Urban, and her teen daughters, Sunday and Faith. The celebrated actress was also joined by her sister, Antonia, and niece, Sybella Hawley.

Pathetic clickbait headline. Whoever wrote it should be ashamed of themselves.

and? some people don't age much in the face. Look at Keanu Reeves, who incidentally is only one year younger than Mike Myers.

A new hair style and maybe some filler but he doesn’t look much different from a few years ago.

If we saw him on the street, and out-of-context, we might not recognize him. It's easy to look at two pictures of an individual on a website and say they just look older like a older version of themselves and that they're not "unrecognizable", but that's probably an overestimate of one's abilities.

Do people not know how aging works? He looks exactly as I would have imagined he would look at this age anyway and absolutely recognizable.

Good grief. I feel so bad for all these people who have such an issue with aging. What are they going to do as they get older, crawl in a hole and hide?!

Actually, I last saw him a couple of years ago on Last Week Tonight and I thought he looked slightly bloated and rubicund, like he'd maybe been hitting the bottle a bit. It's good to see him looking this well.
