Comedy Legend Mike Myers Is Now a Full Silver Fox, and We're Here for It
Mike Myers is a comedy legend, but the star of films like Wayne's World and Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery has put a little twist on his typical look with a head full of white hair.
Myers, 62, got his start on Saturday Night Livebefore launching a hugely successful film career. While he largely runs below the radar these days, the actor did make a rare exception to work the red carpet at the 2026 AFI Life Achievement Award at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, honoring Eddie Murphy, the recipient of the 2026 AFI Life Achievement Award. The star, who is currently at work on Shrek 5, showed off a dapper look with a short cut of white hair. This silver fox might be looking better than ever!
What Did Mike Myers Say Onstage?
Naturally, Myers didn't let the opportunity pass by without breaking a few jokes. Later on during the big event, the icon hit the stage to honor Murphy, and did so in full Shrek greenery.
"None of the 'Shrek' success could have happened without Eddie Murphy; his character Donkey is a masterpiece," said Myers, USA Today reported. "As is every character that Eddie has created. ... It is an absolute honor to be able to tell my kids that I got to work with Eddie Murphy."
How can I watch Eddie Murphy's AFI Achievement ceremony?
The AFI Life Achievement Award ceremony honoring Eddie Murphy will stream on May 31 on Netflix.
When Will Mike Myers Receive Some Praise?
Don't Worry! Myers is set to receive a special award at the upcoming Canadian Screen Awards in May, The Hollywood Reporter shared back in March.
While Myers is a U.S. citizen, the Canadian-born actor is wildly proud of his native country. You may recall that in April 2025, he appeared alongside Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in a TV ad wearing a jersey that read "Never 51," in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's 51st state taunts against Canada, THR reminded us. Myers later returned to his other home turf, Saturday Night Live, and made a statement by wearing a "Canada is not for sale" T-shirt.
