We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw the latest photos of one of Netflix's biggest stars! Penn Badgley, known for his role as the lead in the psychological thriller series You, has debuted a dramatic new hairstyle that has us all doing a double take.
It was at the US Open in New York where the 37-year-old actor showed off his shaved head, as he watched Aryna Sabalenka win the women's singles final. It's a major change from his signature curly locks that we've come to know and love.
Fans were quick to react to the transformation, with many expressing shock and even admitting they didn't recognize him at first. On Instagram, one fan cried out, "Noooo! his beautiful hair!" while another compared him to Andrew Lincoln's character Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead. But, of course, there were still plenty of fans who couldn't deny Penn's handsome looks, with one commenting, "What are you all on? He looks incredibly handsome with that haircut."
Interestingly, it was another character from Penn's past work that drew the most comparisons - his role as Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl. Some fans even said that Penn's new look reminded them of Dan in the show's first season, when he had shorter hair.
It's likely that this new hairstyle is a result of Penn wrapping filming on the final season of You, which he has been the star of for the past six years. The series, which debuted on Lifetime in 2018 before moving to Netflix after one season, has been a huge success and will come to its conclusion next year.
Off-screen, Penn has been married to British-American singer Domino Kirke since 2017, and they welcomed their son in August 2020. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Penn shared a sweet story about his son recognizing him on You, saying, "There was recently a day when I was doing something sweet with him, on my lap. And then I sat on the remote. You wouldn't think this, but it goes right to Netflix on the TV, and my face was right on the TV."
Fans can catch Penn in the final season of You, which will air in 2025. In the meantime, you can watch the hit show on Netflix. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, don't hesitate to reach out to the entertainment team at The Agency. We'd love to hear from you!
