A world-famous actor, 60, looked worlds away from himself as he attended the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute in Hollywood on Saturday. The dapper gentleman cut a stylish figure in a black tuxedo as he posed on the star-studded red carpet before taking to the stage.
Joining him was Top Gear actor Miles Teller, 37, who dressed smartly in a navy tuxedo. Despite being worlds away from his usual persona, the actor seemed in good spirits as he mingled with fellow stars.
So, can you guess who it is? That’s right – it’s none other than Mike Myers! The actor is perhaps best known for his role as Austin Powers in three movies: International Man of Mystery (1997), The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), and Goldmember (2002. Throughout his career, Mike has won numerous awards, including seven MTV Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. In 2002, he was even awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Mike’s most iconic roles are those of Austin Powers and his arch-nemesis Dr. Evil, which he starred in as both characters. Although there have been rumors about a potential fourth installment in the franchise, Mike has remained tight-lipped about the possibility. When asked by Entertainment Tonight if another movie was in the works, he responded with a cryptic message: “I don’t know. I’m gonna put a big, firm, written maybe on that.
In previous interviews, Mike has expressed his interest in revisiting the Austin Powers franchise, but stressed that nothing is confirmed yet. He even went so far as to create a tongue-in-cheek non-confirmation confirmation, leaving fans wondering if they’ll see Dr. Evil again.
The actor has also spoken about how the Austin Powers trilogy was created as a tribute to his father, who passed away in 1991. The franchise’s creation allowed Mike to pay homage to his dad, who introduced him to many of his comedic influences. Despite the uncertainty surrounding a potential fourth movie, Mike remains grateful for the opportunity to bring joy to audiences around the world.
