What do Russell Crowe and the Three Little Pigs have in common? They won’t bend to demands, not by the hair on their chinny chin chins. We know this because Crowe, for the first time in five years, has shaved off his beard and shared that newly shorn chinny chin chin with the world.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Crowe, 59, debuted his fresh-faced look, sharing a photo of his whole face, including his recently rebranded chin.

“The actor prepares #20,” he captioned the photo. “First shave since 2019.”

Crowe, who was nominated for Best Actor Oscars three years in a row in 2000, 2001, and 2002, (winning in 2001 for Gladiator), didn’t reveal in his post exactly what he, the actor in question, is preparing for. A role? A grocery run, perhaps? Taking the MCAT? Wearing a close-fitting chin accessory that doesn’t allow for the inclusion of Crowe’s great big bushy beard? The world wonders. Representatives for Russell Crowe did not immediately return Vanity Fair’s request for comment.

As chins go, Crowe’s is looking much the same as it did last time we saw it in the late 2010s, light cleft and all. It’s also worth nothing that though Crowe shaved, he’s sporting the lightest of stubbles in the photo he shared. After such a long time living the bearded life, maybe it’s tough to go cold turkey right away. Maybe his chin was just cold. Lonely.

In Crowe’s latest film (in which he sports a short beard, naturally), Land of Bad, which hit theaters last week, he co-stars alongside both Liam Hemsworth and Luke Hemsworth.
