Actor John Abraham has stunned the internet with his new look. Known for keeping a low profile and leading a private life, the actor has undergone a striking transformation, possibly for an upcoming project. Pictures of John recently surfaced on social media, where he was seen happily posing with fans.

In the images doing the rounds online, John appeared noticeably leaner than usual and sported a clean-shaven look. The actor, who is rarely seen without a moustache or stubble, also flaunted salt-and-pepper hair, making him look almost unrecognisable.



His new appearance has sparked conversations across social media. While some fans praised the refreshed look, others expressed concern about his health due to his visible weight loss.

Comments ranged from “What happened to him?” and “Grow that beard back!” to remarks like “He looks ill” and “Is this a real picture?” However, many fans came to his defence, pointing out that he is 54 and that physical changes are natural with age.

John Abraham on his low-key life

Despite being one of the prominent stars of the film industry, John maintains a private life away from the limelight. He rarely makes public appearances with his wife, investment banker Priya Runchal. John has previously stated that their decision to stay private is a conscious and mutual one, adding that he has always steered clear of controversies throughout his career.

In an interaction with India Today, John explained why there is rarely any news about him apart from his films. He said, “That is a very conscious decision, because my films have nothing to do with my personal life. In all these years, I have never had a publicist or an agent. I don’t have someone who is manufacturing stuff for me out there. So the minute my films are over, I become not newsworthy and I go into my shell and come out to speak only when I have something relevant to say.” When he is not promoting or working on a film, John invests time in his hobbies and interests, which include his football academy in Shillong.
