Hugh Bonneville was hardly recognizable during his latest TV interview.
While appearing on BBC’s “The One Show,” the “Downton Abbey“ star showed off a brand new slimmed-down transformation.
The 56-year-old actor also sported a shaved hairdo, which further added to the makeover.

“Had to do a ‘double take’. Didn’t recognise Hugh Bonneville at first. Looking amazing,” said a second.
“Hugh Bonneville or Bear Grylls?” asked another.
