Actor John Abraham surprised fans after pictures of him sporting a clean-shaven look surfaced on social media. Known for his rugged, bearded appearance, John’s latest transformation left many struggling to recognise him, triggering a wave of reactions ranging from shock and concern to praise and support.
Several photos showing John posing with his team quickly went viral. In the images, the actor is seen dressed casually in a black T-shirt, smiling for the camera while standing close to his colleagues. His clean-shaven face, combined with visible salt-and-pepper hair, highlights his facial features and marks a noticeable departure from his usual style.
Fans react to John’s transformation
Social media was abuzz with mixed reactions. While some fans called it a “complete transformation,” others expressed concern about his health and appearance. Comments like “Ye kya ho gaya John ko?” and “Grow that beard back!” flooded the posts. A few users questioned whether the pictures were real, while others felt his face looked gaunter, possibly due to weight loss.
However, many fans came forward to defend the actor. Supportive voices reminded critics that John is 54 and that physical changes are natural with age. “He looks how he is supposed to at this age,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Leave him alone. People change. Stop judging.”
What’s next for John Abraham
John Abraham was last seen in the action thriller Tehran, where he played special officer Rajeev Kumar, a man driven by revenge after the 2012 Delhi bombing. Directed by Arun Gopalan, the film also starred Manushi Chhillar and was released last year.
Apart from acting, John recently unveiled the teaser of Oslo: A Tale Of Promise, a documentary he is backing, at the 56th International Film Festival of India in Goa. He is also rumoured to be working on Rakesh Maria’s biopic, with speculation around Force 3 doing the rounds, though no official confirmation has been made yet.
