Introducing a whole new Austin Butler.
The actor, 33, showed off his fresh buzzcut while attending the SFFILM’s Awards Night in San Francisco on Monday evening.

The star looked incredibly handsome as he posed on the red carpet in his black suit and tie.
The new look got fans talking on social media, with a majority drooling over the cut.
‘Well, hello!’ one admirer chimed in.

Austin’s hair normally falls right along the chin, and the actor’s hair was chin-length as he filmed Caught Stealing in New York last month.
The Elvis star is leading the film, which is based on the book of the same name by Charlie Huston, alongside Zoe Kravitz and Regina King.
In the film, he plays a former baseball player who finds himself mixed up with criminals.
Filming for Caught Stealing kicked off in late September — six months after Butler’s casting was confirmed.
