Taiwanese-American singer Wang Leehom turned 45 on May 17. And just before the clock struck midnight on May 17, Wang surprised his fans with a post on social media.

The usually clean-cut singer shared a photo of himself sporting a full beard and braided hair!

“To be honest, I don’t even remember the last time I shaved... or got a haircut,” Wang captioned the photo on Instagram.

Just last month, Taiwanese TV host Blackie Chen posted a photo of Wang looking scruffy.

Alongside the photo, Chen wrote: “This backpacker’s style is very Keanu Reeves.”

Fans reacted to the photo saying: "Who is this?”, “No wonder paparazzi can hardly follow him" and “It took a long time to recognise him”.
