June 2024 · 1 minute read

That’s a bold choice! James Franco got a drastic makeover on Wednesday, Sept. 3, when he shaved off all of his hair, going completely bald. The Palo Alto actor, 36, debuted the shocking transformation on Instagram to his 2.7 million followers. 

“Say Goodbye to this hair… You'll see. Tomorrow,” he wrote along with a head shot before chopping off his brunette locks. 

Franco then posted two identical mirror selfies, one with hair and one without.

“Get ready for ZEROVILLE,” he captioned one of his bald pics, adding, “Bald as a mutha!”

For his final look, the Of Mice and Men Broadway actor sported a fake mustache and Gucci sunglasses, with nothing covering his hair-free dome. Chances are this dramatic look is for a new role. The Oscar nominee is currently filming leading roles in The Adderall Diaries with Amber Heard and True Blood’s Jim Parrack, and Michael, where he will play a former gay rights activist who becomes a Christian pastor alongside Palo Alto costar Emma Roberts
