Prison Break star Dominic Purcell is branded as UNRECOGNIZABLE as he debuts drastic transformation
A popular actor from the TV series Prison Break has completely changed his look... leaving longtime fans of the show stunned.
British-Australian actor Dominic Purcell is known for his role as Lincoln Burrows in the beloved prison series with Wentworth Miller.
Dominic, 55, was previously known for his clean-shave look paired with a buzzcut.
However, he was recently spotted with a very different appearance, and his drastic transformation has fans doing a double-take.
The actor recently posted a black and white snap of himself to Instagram.
Fans branded the star as 'unrecognizable' as he is now sporting a long, white beard and mustache.
His new look appears to be more recent, as the actor was still clean-shaven during his wedding to Miley Cyrus' mother, Tish Cyrus, in 2023.
Prison Break viewers were quick to rush to the comment section of his latest post to discuss his drastic change in appearance.
'OMG! Santa Claus is in the house,' a user joked.
'For a second, I didn't recognize you,' someone else said, while another wrote, 'Bro, you are unrecognizable.'
'He looks like a different man. Still [fire],' a different person shared.
'Nice Beard,' read a fifth comment.
'Rocking that beard, mate! Damn,' a sixth said.
However, a few fans didn't love the beard and said the actor 'needed a shave.'
There were also a handful of comments praising the series, as the actor wore a 'My Brother's Keeper' shirt — paying tribute to the title of season one, episode 16 of the show.
The show aired from 2005 until 2017, and now, it looks like Dominic, who resides in Tennessee, enjoys surfing and boxing.
The actor and Tish tied the knot after announcing their engagement in May 2023 following Tish's shock divorce from Billy Ray Cyrus in 2022.
It was an intimate affair with just 60 people attending the lavish ceremony, which was held in Tish's megastar daughter Miley's house in Malibu.
The couple was previously embroiled in scandal as it was previously reported that Tish's daughter Noah, 25, was angry at her mother for allegedly 'stealing' Dominic from her.
There have been differing reports about whether or not anything went on between Noah and Dominic before his romance with Tish.
People claimed they were 'seeing each other' and had 'hooked up' before he ended up marrying Tish.
It was reported that Noah was 'offended' when her mother married the Australian star, as per People.
'Noah and Dominic were seeing each other in a friends-with-benefits way, off and on. They stopped seeing each other, and then Tish started something up,' an insider told the publication.
'Tish knew he had been seeing Noah.'
Even though Noah and Dominic had stopped seeing each other when his relationship with Tish started, the insider added: 'Tish never gave Noah the chance to talk about all of this before they got married.'
It has also been claimed by Entertainment Tonight that Tish 'hired security' to keep Noah away from the wedding.

Dean Harrison claims ‘one of most popular victories in Isle of Man TT history'
Dean Harrison ended his six-year wait for a fourth win at the Isle of Man TT, securing 'one of the most popular victories' in Tuesday's rain-delayed Supersport TT. Harrison had endured a run of 14 podium finishes without victory since his last win in the 2019 Senior TT, having had to play second fiddle to both Davey Todd and Michael Dunlop this week as well as Peter Hickman in recent years. But the 36-year-old crossed the finish line to a huge ovation to clinch a victory, by 11.656 seconds, over Todd and come within touching distance of Hickman's all-time lap record of 16min 36.115sec. Hickman achieved an average speed of 136.358 mph, which Harrison threatened with a second lap average speed of 135.692mph. 'Honestly I got the hammer down from the start and read my pit boards and got P1 at the first and P2 and just dig deep. The bike was really good, I changed a few things and the bike worked so well,' he said. 'I've had a third and a second, so I've got three, two, one now and a TT win is just magic. I can't thank the team enough, they've worked hard all week and we've been up and down and all sorts, it's unbelievable. To battle for the win is just fantastic.' We all felt that one... 🥺 And the first Honda win in a decade... ❤💙 — Isle of Man TT Races (@ttracesofficial) June 3, 2025 Harrison secured Honda Racing's first victory at the TT in more than a decade, with the Japanese works team having not tasted success since John McGuinness's famous 2015 Senior victory. 'Them lot being happy makes me happy, I can't thank them all enough,' Harrison added. 'It's been a long time coming and I'm four times a TT winner, which is a big thing for me. I'm over the moon.' The win was hailed by many on the island, with both Todd and Dunlop paying tribute to Harrison's success and 14-time sidecar TT winner Tom Birchall declaring the win 'one of the most popular victories in the history of the TT'. With the race initially scheduled for 10:45am on Tuesday, overnight rain and further showers meant all racing was delayed until the evening's contingency session, with the Superstock TT reduced from three laps to two, meaning riders would not be required to pit. That favoured the famously fast-starting Harrison, but it was Todd straight out of the gate. The 8Ten Racing BMW rider could only get his lead out to a couple of seconds though, and by the end of the first lap, the gap was only 0.4 seconds and Harrison had taken the lead by the time they reached Glen Helen on lap two. The win adds to Harrison's previous successes in the 2014 Lightweight TT, and the Supersport and Senior races in 2018 and 2019 respectively. Dunlop came home behind Todd in a distant third, and admitted his MD Racing BMW was blighted by an issue from the moment he left the start line. 'We ended up with an electronics issue, went off the line and it seemed to stick in launch control for some reason, and then the blipper stopped working and was intermittent, which caused us a bit of pain,' Dunlop said. 'But in fairness to Dean, fair play to him. I knew Dean would be great the first lap. My first lap was horrific, not knowing when the bike was blipping and when it wasn't blipping. Two-lap races, I struggle a wee bit with them.' Despite the tricky conditions, Harrison was not the only rider to set his fastest-ever lap around the island, with Ian Hutchinson, Dominic Herbertson, James Hind and Mikey Evans all setting personal bests. Later in the evening, Dunlop claimed his 31st victory by continuing his grip on the Supertwin TT class, taking a comfortable win by 22.673 seconds over local rider Evans, who clinched the first podium of his career – on his birthday – alongside fellow first-time rostrum finisher Rob Hodson.

The Jackal Speaks: Inside the Mind of a Mass Murderer review – Carlos turns out to be an icky loser
We in the west love to hate a terrorist bogeyman. When our opponent isn't a state, it's easier to rationalise our failure to stop them causing us pain if there's super-villain lore around them. That a lone Venezuelan called Ilich Ramírez Sánchez could become the scourge of top intelligence agencies would be a humiliation; rebadge him as the impressive 'Carlos the Jackal' and we can cope. As the Israeli-made Storyville documentary The Jackal Speaks: Inside the Mind of a Mass Murderer profiles Sánchez and interviews him, that mystique evaporates. After growing up in Caracas in a family home that has a cook, a cleaner, a gardener and a large photograph of Stalin on the wall, the teenage Sánchez is relocated to London and then Moscow in the late 1960s, dismaying his father – and, in the Soviet Union, annoying the KGB – with his preference for partying over studying. In 1969 he enrols with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), fighting for them in the Black September conflict in Jordan and, most likely, conducting his first solo mission by attempting to assassinate the vice-president of the British Zionist Federation in London in 1973. In the film, Sánchez denies that one, but it's definitely him firing rocket-propelled grenades at Israeli passenger jets at Orly airport in 1975. When an informant turns on him by revealing his location to Paris police, Sánchez kills his former associate and two of the officers who arrive to arrest him. Now internationally notorious, he's nicknamed Carlos the Jackal, the moniker coming half from his South American heritage, and half from a Guardian journalist visiting the flat of an ex-girlfriend of Sánchez and noticing a copy of The Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth. As if to reward the media's interest, 'Carlos the Jackal' pulls off his biggest job when he and his team take dozens of hostages at an Opec summit in Vienna in December 1975, acting on behalf of the PFLP and Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. All this is recalled using the usual documentary mix of biographers, experts and retired spies, boosted by a telephone interview with the imprisoned Sánchez himself, conducted in 2021 by director Yaron Niski. When the supply of evocative archive footage runs out and there's nothing for the star of the show to talk over, the film resorts to slightly comical images of Niski with a phone to his ear, dramatically shot in small rooms half-lit by the dim glow from a single window. Still, it must be worth it for an exclusive chat with the former most wanted man in the world? Barely. Sánchez, rambling unchallenged down an indistinct line, is hard to follow even when you can make out what he's saying, which isn't always. He doesn't offer any insight into why he chose the Palestinian cause, or why he was drawn to political violence. He doesn't sound like a criminal mastermind; instead, the overall impression is that he was narcissistic enough to believe he could get away with outrageous schemes, and psychopathic enough to do the cold-blooded killing. That, rather than any piercing strategic or political vision, was enough. Chiefly, Sánchez's contributions are notable for their Trumpian self-aggrandisement: 'I was the best shot. I shot better than anyone else,' he says of his formative months at a PFLP training camp. 'The only person who could maybe direct such an operation in such a short time is … Carlos!' he claims, talking about how silly Col Gaddafi hadn't left enough time to plan his attack on the Opec meeting, so Sánchez graciously bailed him out. The tapes also reveal Sánchez to be quite the creepy misogynist. He looks to reinforce the legend that he is a philanderer by commenting on the quality of the women in the many countries he's lived in, an observation that usually comes with an approving reference to how 'clean' these conquests were. The love of his life, Frankfurt Revolutionary Cells member Magdalena Kopp, receives the special accolade 'very clean, everywhere'. It might seem trivial to worry about the icky gender politics of a mass-murdering mercenary, but this guy has been romanticised as international terrorism's answer to James Bond – a man of mystery as suave as he is elusive. Close up, he gives off loner vibes, and the photos we see of his various guises don't burnish his cool-villain credentials, either: he almost always looks like a beady uncle whom female guests have to avoid at a wedding disco. The picture that has become an icon, where he's wearing wraparound shades, is the only one where he looks badass. The story was that the people employed to keep us safe were given the runaround by a unique force of evil, a ghost; it now seems they actually spent years chasing a loser. The Jackal Speaks: Inside the Mind of a Mass Murderer aired on BBC Four and is on iPlayer now.
