Dan, is that you?
Penn Badgley from Gossip Girl is barely recognisable these days. He played one of the central characters, Dan Humphries, in the hugely popular New York based TV show.
After the show ended in 2012, he continued acting and featured in another TV series and some lesser known movies but in 2014 he decided to focus his attention on his singing career and formed a band called Mother.
At this point, he began to leave his clean cut Dan look behind him and let his hair grow out.
He was barely recognisable then but now he’s changed his look again and looks completely different.
He was playing at Art Basel in Miami on Monday when he debuted his new look.

Earlier this year he spoke about his new band with Cosmopolitan and how Gossip Girl makes him recognisable some places he goes:
“We have to be and are grateful for the fans that Gossip Girl might bring in. In the beginning, there was probably a predominant thing there, depending on the city. If we were in some random place and all we were getting were the people I was tweeting at, OK, fine, great. Sometimes we’ll almost sell out a little club that way.
And then sometimes, when we play in [a place] like Brooklyn, there’s a lot of music listeners there, a lot of mature, smart music heads. Not that Gossip Girl fans aren’t, but there’s obviously a dichotomy and a dynamic. I think increasingly, our audience reflects the music, which is actually diverse and actually musical.”
