In a video interview for FUBAR Radio, he showcased his platinum blonde locks, still at their shoulder length, and in their natural waves.
While he's kept his moustache, it's now a natural silver shade and paired with a bushy beard.
Yet fans were left particularly distracted by his ripped physique, with Wagner giving a bicep curl to the camera for good measure.
His muscle definition could clearly be seen on his tattooed arms as he posed in a bright yellow vest.

Wagner was chatting to FUBAR host Andrew White and told how he had returned to the UK in December.
Yet he admitted he "couldn't stand" living in Brazil so sold his hair transplant clinic back to the Da Vinci business.

Back in 2022, we told how Wagner was leaving his Birmingham home and coming out of retirement to start up the business.
At the time, he said: "I love it here but I am going to Brazil to start a hair transplant business.
"I'm living proof that hair transplants work. I had mine eight years ago and I haven't lost anything. I lose more from the beard than my head.
"I'm going to be making so much money I'll be coming back to the UK. I'm only a flight away."
Speaking about his wife, who is 36 years his junior, he then added to
: "Once I die, (his wife) Lydia will communicate with the manager and I can die in peace now."
Wagner has also been selling custom videos to fans for just £10 - as he doesn't want to price anybody out.
