Michael Douglas shocks fans with drastic transformation after ditching silver locks for red hair-Alicia Adejobi-Entertainment – Metro

Michael Douglas is truly in the autumnal spirit as he’s undergone quite a major makeover, dyeing his hair red. 

The Basic Instinct actor spent the weekend living it up in Paris and seemed to have a new lease of life about him. 

Known for being a silver fox, it wasn’t hard to notice that Michael, 78, was sporting an even more striking hair colour with his locks dyed a shade of auburn. 

In a short video shared to his Instagram page on Friday, the Hollywood star told fans enthusiastically with the Eiffel Tower in the backdrop behind him: ‘Hey guys! Happy TGIF! Have a good one! Lots of love!’ while echoing the sentiments in his caption. 

Part of his new ‘do was concealed as Michael wore a cap but left some strands of hair sticking out. 

Many of his followers were taken aback by his transformation, with one complimenting: ‘Love the natural look.’

Another even said: ‘You could be in your teens looking at this image if you Michael.’ 

However, one missed his trademark style and commented: ‘MD has wonderful hair for a guy his age, and looked handsome naturally silver.’ 

It comes after Michael opened up about getting old and boasted that he still had a good set of tresses.

‘I still have a full head of hair,’ he said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2019. ‘So it’s all good. You know, you can’t be an idiot about it. So 75, I look at it like the 15-year program. If I still got my marbles by the time I’m 90 so I’m kind of thinking about that and after that, it’s all golden.’ 

One of his followers had a theory about the sudden change in look and shared: ‘Probably for a character he is playing in a movie.’ 

Michael currently has one project in post-production with the next instalment of Ant-Man, in which he plays Dr Hank Pym, set for release in 2023. 

It has also been announced that Michael will star in upcoming TV series Reagan & Gorbachev while also playing Benjamin Franklin in an Apple TV+ show. 

The actor, who is married to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, was last seen sporting his usual grey hair on October 24, when he shared an Instagram photo of himself posing at the United Nations to mark its 77th anniversary.
