Barbie fans have been left shocked after discovering one of the stars has undergone a dramatic transformation. Michael Cera, who starred in the film as Allan (the only one, sadly), has been forced to change his look for a new role in a Wes Anderson film, and fans were... surprised, to say the least.

During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the host joked that his producer told him before Michael came on the show, "My producer today said, 'Michael wants me to let you know he's blond,' and I didn't quite know what to expect, but I am glad he told me."

"Well, I kind of want to apologise for it a little bit," Michael said of his new look, which isn't just blond, but blond and long and kinda frizzy.

"You don't have to apologise!" Seth responded.

"No, but the thing is, I mean, my hair is in a weird place right now," the Superbad actor said. "And I know this is going out on TV and everything, but... that's all I really wanted to say, really."

He then joked, "Well, the thing is, I can't cut it right now, because then I'll have frosted tips, because, you know, like or I dye it back to my own colour and that just feels wrong."

"It is for a movie, we should stress," Seth added.

"Yeah, I didn't just go crazy, I'm a working actor," Michael said.

Fans were quick to react to Michael's new look on social media, with one Instagram user simply writing, "Jump scare."

"I thought it was Ed Sheeran 😂," another said, while a third Simpsons fan added, "Looking like a young C. Montgomery Burns."

"Kinda looks like Gene Wilder," someone else wrote on Instagram, with another fan adding in a YouTube comment, "Michael looks like Napoleon Dynamite."

"My hair is in a weird place right now is going to be my new disclaimer," another joked.

"He’s not balding but there’s something peculiar going on there," one user added, while someone else joked, "He is unbalding."
