While we’re used to seeing the 59-year-old actor with his signature long, shoulder-length lob, it looks like his new project required a much shorter ‘do.

The actor underwent a major haircut for his role in Jonah Hill’s dark comedy, Outcome.

New photos of Reeves taken on March 19 show him on set sporting a classic clean crew cut. His salt-and-pepper beard also appears to be shorter.

Keanu Reeves is photographed with a sharp crew cut on the set of Outcome.

Although it’s not his shortest cut ever (he went full buzz cut when filming The Matrix Resurrections) it’s definitely much shorter than the shoulder-length layers he’s been rocking in the recent past, especially with his role in the John Wick franchise.

It looks like Reeves cut his hair this month, since a photo of him with a slightly shaggy crew cut, taken at a party with his girlfriend Alexandra Grant, Rob Lowe, his wife Sheryl Lowe and their son John, was shared to Instagram on March 9.

The star was last seen with his long mane on Feb. 29, on the set of his other film Good Fortune, and on Feb. 4, when he attended the Saturn Awards sporting a long bob with a classic suit and tie.
