PHOTO Hugh Jackman shaves his head bald

Hugh Jackman now looks more like Hugh Baldman after shaving his head for his new role as Blackbeard in the Peter Pan movie Pan! The 45-year-old actor posted the chrome domed photo above on instagram earlier today and captioned it, “Blackbeard is born. #PAN”

For contrast, here are before-and-after photos of Hugh with his Blackbeard photo and a picture from Sunday’s Tony Awards red carpet:

So whatya think? Do you prefer Wolverine with or without fur on top?

While you ponder that over, here’s a little more info on Hugh’s new film…

The Joe Wright directed Pan, scheduled to hit theaters on July 17, 2015, will also star Levi Miller as Peter Pan, Garrett Hedlund as Captain Hook, Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily and Amanda Seyfreid as Mary. Other actors attached to the project include Jack Charles, Taejoo Na, Nonso Anozie, Kathy Burke, Kurt Egyiawan, Lewis MacDougal and Leni Zieglmeier.

I’m guessing you don’t really need a synopsis for a Peter Pan movie, but just in case you do, here is the one for Pan from IMDB:

“The story of an orphan who is spirited away to the magical Neverland. There, he finds both fun and dangers, and ultimately discovers his destiny — to become the hero who will be forever known as Peter Pan.”
