Robert Downey Jr has caused a stir after debuting a bald look at a Hollywood awards show.
The 57-year-old actor was pictured with his wife Susan on the red carpet at the Governors Awards in Los Angeles, sporting a very different look to his usual spiky hair.
The US Sun reports Downey Jr threw photographers a knowing look at the event as he showed off his completely shaved head.
As pictures of the Iron Man star emerged on social media, fans claimed to not recognise him.
