Hugh Jackman doesn’t need to be in a movie to shock fans.

The “X-Men” star debuted his newly shaved head on Instagram Tuesday.

Making the cut even more of a surprise was that Jackman, 45, hosted the Tony Awards on Sunday evening sporting a full head of hair.

The actor, who has never shied away from transforming for a role, got the cut in preparation for his role as Blackbeard in next year’s “Pan.”

The latest in a long line of attempts to bring J.M. Barrie’s beloved boy hero to the silver screen co-stars Amanda Seyfried and Rooney Mara and is directed by Joe Wright.

The film is due out in July 2015.
