'28 Years Later' Star Aaron Taylor-Johnson Just Debuted His New Look—And He's Nearly Unrecognizable

At the movie premiere for the British crime thriller Fuze opposite Divergent's Theo James, Aaron Taylor-Johnson walked the red carpet rocking a new look that wowed his fans.

Since his breakout role in 2008 in Nowhere Boy, the 28 Years Later star is well-known for his dark-brown, curly locks that frame a face with bright, blue eyes and a beard. While he was clean-shaven at a much younger age for Kick-A** and even appeared blond for Anna Karenina, Taylor-Johnson is best known for his signature darker features.

However, when the Bullet Train star appeared on the red carpet for Fuze, he still had his fabulous, dark brown locks, more carefully curled than usual, thick but shaped eyebrows, and an otherwise clean-shaven face. The new, clean look revealed a jaw worthy of a Superman role, and his overall appearance would be very fitting in a Greek Mythology retelling.

Here's a peek at Aaron Taylor-Johnson's new look:

His appearance prompted a passionate reaction, as some people could not believe how different he looked, while others confessed that they wouldn't have recognized him at all without prompting.

Some people did not stand a chance at recognizing this man in his new form.

Others compared him to Jeremy Allen White and Timothée Chalamet.

Some were simply shocked by the transformation.

But some pointed out that a clean shave, a new haircut, and a little more age could dramatically change a person's look.

It's almost shocking how much a haircut and restyle can change the public perception of someone's looks, not to mention if they shave their facial hair, take off their glasses, or age a few years.

We're all so quick to say that we would recognize Clark Kent as Superman, or Bruce Wayne as Batman, or even the facial features of The Hulk and Bruce Banner, but situations like this prove that we really might not.

It's unclear if Aaron Taylor-Johnson is sporting a new look for a role or is simply changing up his appearance, but everyone can agree that he definitely looks like a whole new person.
