“Dad… when did you start selling insurance?" the celebrity chef's son Hunter wrote

Is that you, Guy Fieri?

The Food Network star debuted an unexpected new look as he celebrated his 58th birthday on Thursday, Jan. 22.

In an Instagram video Fieri shared, he sports a conservative ensemble that includes a checkered button-down shirt and belted khaki trousers. His facial hair is shaven off, and he’s traded in his signature spiky blonde locks for a neatly parted brown hairdo.

“Hey there! After so many years of celebrating my birthday as Guy, I figured this year I’d celebrate it as just a guy. Happy birthday to me!” he says, then leaning over to blow out the candles on his cake.

He captioned the post simply, “New Year. New Guy. New Look.”

Fellow celebrity chefs weighed in on the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives host’s shocking transformation.

“🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s your b’day and you give us the gift of laughter! This is amazing Happy Happy Happy B’day @guyfieri,” wrote Maneet Chauhan, a two-time winner on Fieri’s Tournament of Champions.

Fieri’s son Hunter had a playful take on the businesslike look, writing, “Dad… when did you start selling insurance? 😂”

Guy Fieri attends Big Game Kick-Off Event, hosted by Jay Glazer, Merging Vets And Players, at Academy LA on February 09, 2022 in Los Angeles, California.

The flamboyant suits him better

Imagine Mick or Ron Wood with staid hair styles

“Wha a look like u?”

Bowie imitating Mick when reporter long ago told him to cut his hair

I can’t believe it’s the same person. It looks like a cross between John Goodman and Shane Gillis.

‘ He destroyed a work of art!’

Yeah. He was so sexy.

At least you have past pictures for your spank bank.

It takes decades to build a look, and a brand. Why destroy it?

Yes, I’m talking about you, Guy Fieri.
And yes, I’m talking about you, Bud Light.

He could go into the witness relocation program and no one would know it was him.
