Mar. 15, 2025

George Lopez’s latest look had a few fans do a double-take.

On Thursday, Feb. 13, theGeorge Lopezstar, 63, appeared onThe Jennifer Hudson Show, but his hairdo surprised a few viewers.

Lopez showed off his shoulder-length, light gray hair and gray beard as he walked down the hallway to the staff’s rendition of his former sitcom’s famed theme song.

During hisappearance, he wore a dark navy blue suit paired with a coordinating navy blue sweater. There, he spoke about being in the entertainment industry for five decades and his Madame Tussauds wax figure.

When Hudson showed him a picture of the sculpture in 2010, he knowingly said, “I don’t look like that anymore.”

Lopez recalled looking at his wax figure at the museum, detailing his cheeky exchange with a guard. “I went in to go look at it. And I was standing around it, and the guard goes, ‘Hey, leave that guy alone.’ ”

“I’m like, ‘Hey man, that’s me.’ He’s like, ‘That ain’t you,’ ” he recalled before joking he’d like to get another one that resembled him in the present day.
