Sebastian Stan stunned fans with a dramatic new look at the world premiere of Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts, held on April 28, 2025, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.
Known for his long, flowing hair as Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the 42-year-old actor appeared on the red carpet nearly unrecognizable. He sported a fresh buzz cut and a salt-and-pepper goatee, marking a striking departure from his usual style.
Stan wore a dark pinstriped suit over a powder blue shirt and gave the cameras a signature smolder, completing his sharp and edgy appearance. The hair transformation quickly became a hot topic online, with fans reacting in shock and humor.
“Nothing in my life prepared me for the day I would see Sebastian Stan BALD,” one fan wrote on X, sharing side-by-side images of his new look. Another posted a graphic of a gravestone with images of Stan’s former hairstyles, captioned, “RIP Seb’s hair and welcome Bald Seb.”
One user jokingly remarked, “Never ask a Sebastian Stan fan what happened on April 27, 2025,” suggesting the cut was made the day before the premiere—a date now memorialized by many of his followers.
Stan’s bold new style has added even more buzz to the already highly anticipated release of Thunderbolts.
