Hugh, is that you?

Oh Hugh Jackman, what have you done? The Australian actor who is normally insatiably handsome has stepped out with a brand new look and well…it’s ridiculous. So ridiculous in fact that his newly shaved head, handlebar mustache and goatee have made him almost unrecognisable.

But do not fear, for Hugh is not going crazy. Thankfully the transformation is for his latest role as Blackbeard in the new movie Pan, based on the well known children’s book Peter Pan.

Yet, Hugh doesn’t seem to mind the transformation, posting multiple pictures of himself on Instagram looking like a real-life pirate.
