“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.

‘ Good troll by Guy.’
There are no good trolls.
Looks like a pic from 1982. Coal black, fluffed up wig, worn slightly askew. Tablecloth patterned shirt from Kmart.
A ‘startled’ expression from Guy, who has never shown Stage Fright before.
This must be a January Joke.
Buddy Hackett has a son??
He looks like Brian Wilson!
that has to be a wig
Looks like a rug.
No, No, No, No and No!!
He DOES!
His brand is well established. So many different cruise ships have Guy’s burger restaurants and I visit those at least once during a 7 day cruise. Served with very good fries. No limit how many burgers you can eat.
That's what I said when I saw the photo. I never would have recognized him without the article.
I’m not buying this. Or it’s a joke.
Uh, no, This makes me laugh. Diners, Drive Ins, and a Dork!
He looks much older

At first I wasn’t sure how much to tip Wayne Newton’s hair stylist. Then I just gave him a wad of bills and said to heck with it. It’s worth it to have his look.
