Nick Offerman is proving just how powerful a mustache can be—by ditching it.
The actor stepped out at the 31st Annual Critics Choice Awards on Sunday, January 4 in Santa Monica, California, sporting a clean-shaven look that left fans doing double takes.
Offerman, 55, was nominated that evening for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series, though the award ultimately went to Owen Cooper for Adolescence. Even without taking home the trophy, Offerman still managed to steal attention on the carpet thanks to the unexpected transformation.

The evening marked one of the biggest nights on the awards calendar, with the awards show bringing together film and television’s top names under one roof. Hosted byChelsea Handler, the ceremony continued its signature format of honoring achievements across movies, TV, and streaming, while also introducing several new categories this year, including Best Variety Series, Best Stunt Design, Best Casting and Ensemble, and Best Sound. Before winners were announced, stars made their way down the carpet in full glam.

And Offerman’s look wasn’t the only thing about him turning heads—he was also extremely candid about the current cultural and political climate on the red carpet. Speaking with Deadline, the actor didn’t sugarcoat his outlook. “People continue to be terrible,” he said, before expanding on what he sees playing out on a larger stage. “We’re seeing our leaders now being…gluttonous and downright evil, just the way they’ve done in all the plays that we’ve been doing since Dionysus invented theater.”
Still, Offerman emphasized that those realities are precisely why he values his work. “But it makes me very glad to be in this business to try and keep everybody’s optimism bolstered,” he added.
