John Travolta, 72, Looks Unrecognizable With Slick New Hairpiece

Taylor Hill / FilmMagic John Travolta is stunning fans with his dramatic transformation, including a suave-looking hairpiece, for his upcoming film.

The Emmy-winning actor, who is typically bald, appeared nearly unrecognizable in a trailer for November 1963 , a biopic about Italian-American mobster John “Handsome Johnny” Roselli and the assassination of President John F.

Kennedy.

Travolta, 72, portrays Roselli, whose name often comes up in conspiracy theories related to Kennedy’s death at the hands of Marine veteran Lee Harvey Oswald.

“November 1963, based on a true story.

Two shooters, one truth, history rewritten.

In theaters November 20th,” the actor wrote in an Instagram post sharing the trailer.

Several fans rushed to share their excitement about the movie, which has a stacked cast including Robert Carlyle, Dermot Mulroney, Jefferson White, and Mandy Patinkin.

“At first, I didn’t even recognize you,” another person said about Travolta’s appearance.

“Again, Travolta on top of his game.

Legend!” one fan commented.

In a trailer for the film, Travolta swaps his normally bald head and scruffy goatee for a slicked-back hairstyle and a perfectly groomed mustache.

A jaw-dropping makeover is a familiar process for the actor, who has undergone many transformations throughout his six-decade career.

Travolta wore prosthetic brow ridges, yellow contacts, and a long mane to play Terl in the 2000 film Battlefield Earth and a custom bodysuit and prosthetics to play Edna Turnblad, a heavier-set woman, in the 2007 musical film Hairspray .
