It's safe to say a collective "Holy Zach Galifianakis!" was exclaimed by those who tuned in to the 2015 SAG Awards on Sunday.
The 45-year-old actor appeared completely unrecognizable when he arrived at the Shrine Auditorium last night, where the Birdman star showed off a much slimmer appearance, a close-shaven face and even rocked a man bun (no word yet if Jared Leto approved of his copycat hairstyle).
Galifianakis' weight loss is due to his decision to ditch booze nearly two years ago. "I stopped drinking and I just kind of put the weight off…" he told Conan O'Brien in May 2013. "I was having a lot of vodka with sausage…delicious but bad for you."
Despite the fact that Zach previously showed off his slimmed-down frame while making the promotional rounds for Birdman, the Hangover star left the Internet in a complete state of shock following the ceremony—and we're not sure if Twitter will ever recover.
Yes, that really is Zach Galifianakis, and no, it's not Joaquin Phoenix trying to trick us all. See more of what the Twitterverse is saying:
Zach Galifianakis lost weight and shaved his face. Or - alternative theory - it's Joaquin Phoenix being method again. pic.twitter.com/lJkp0BbcZR
