The international man of mystery is back.

“Austin Powers” star Mike Myers made a rare public appearance Saturday at the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala. The outing marked the first time the famous actor has attended an event in over a year.

Event at the AFI Awards Gala

The “Shrek” star, 60, was sporting a gray buzz cut, a far different look than his shaggy brown hair he kept throughout his Hollywood career. He looked dapper in a tux for the lavish affair where Nicole Kidman was being honored.

Video showed Myers stopping to take pictures with fans on his way into Dolby Theatre on Saturday night. Myers came onstage wearing a mask during the gala. He dramatically removed it to reveal himself. He then gave a speech at the event, which honored Nicole Kidman.

Recent Activity

Myers, who last appeared in David O. Russell’s 2022 film, “Amsterdam,” has been out of the spotlight for a few years. He also created and starred in the Netflix series “The Pentaverate.”

Rumors about a potential fourth installment of his famous “Austin Powers” franchise have been circulating, but there have been no official updates on the project.

Personal Life

Myers shares his low-profile life with his wife Kelly Tisdale, 47, and their three children: Spike, 12, Sunday, 10, and Paulina, 8. The couple tied the knot in 2010.

Mike Myers and His Children

In a recent interview, Myers revealed that his kids were not impressed with his Hollywood career. He jokingly said, “They’re remarkably unexcited about anything [I do], which is great.”

While Myers flew solo, the honoree Nicole Kidman brought her family to the event. Along with her husband, Keith Urban, she was joined by her daughters Sunday and Faith, her sister Antonia, and her niece Sybella Hawley.
