Denzel Washington, 69, ‘Looks Like a Different Person’ with New Hairstyle, Say Fans – Pics
Aside from asserting how unrecognizable Denzel Washington looks, netizens have also expressed concern for the actor, who recently spoke about starring in “Gladiator II.”
Hollywood legend Denzel Washington, 69, stepped out in New York City on October 23 (2024) to attend the Museum of Modern Art’s 16th Annual Film Benefit. While some agreed that the “Training Day” star looked handsome, they were thrown off by his lack of hair and his physique, which many think has changed remarkably.

Opting for a classic black suit with sleek tailoring, Washington looked polished. Deviating from his usually short hair, he sported a bald look, which had the public doing a double-take.

What was equally noticeable was his seemingly slimmer frame, which fans believe is leaner than what they remember.
Upon seeing our side-by-side image showing the “Man on Fire” star’s new look at the film event and his widely-recognized appearance in a snap from 2022, AmoMama readers were quick to express their surprise and uncertainty over the actor’s changed appearance.
One reader questioned whether the man in the 2024 picture was even Washington at all, writing, “Is it really Denzel on the NOW photo? That ones head is longer, more oval, much more narrower, nose is smaller. I give it to age for the more wrinkles as I have some too, but to me, it doesn’t look like that handsome Denzel, although handsome, whomever he is [sic].”

“Does not look like him,” remarked another. Someone else penned, “He needs hair! He no longer looks like a hunky man, just ordinary,” while another reader opined, “Sorry, looks like a different person [sic] better with hair!”

Many also chimed in with concerns about how his appearance without hair seemed to affect his overall look. “Like him better with hair!! Without makes him look older, but it’s his choice!!!” stated a reader, while another echoed, “Oh no. Grow that hair back! It doesn’t even look like him. Looks like he may have lost weight. Thinner face.”
