Fans speculated on the reasons behind Myers' new appearance.

Some attributed it to the natural aging process, considering that he is now 60 years old and it has been over 30 years since his iconic portrayal of Austin Powers.

Others suggested that his time away from the spotlight allowed him to explore different styles and experiment with his appearance.

uh, he's just aging?! he looks healthy and good, one user said.

He's just starting to get a little old. If you dyed his hair and gave him a shave he'd still look pretty much the same as we remember him, the second said.

He looks like him. He looks his age. People must be stuck in 2001, another wrote.

He looks top I think, from what I saw of him over the years he looks better than ever- whatever pills he"s taking - we want some. Hair looks on fine form too, someone explained.

I don’t think it’s him! Looks completely different! Another said.

In a previous interview, Myers shared that he had shifted his focus towards his family in recent years.

With three children under the age of 11, he emphasized the importance of prioritizing their well-being and finding a balance between work and family life.

"I still am working on many things, but I have three kids under the age of 11, and the last 16 years has been me just learning to... That’s been the happiest time of my life, actually, prioritizing trying to get healthy and taking care of these kids. Still making stuff, but with the correct priority," Myers said.
