Bear Grylls unveiled a new look as he entered Westminster Abbey for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on Monday.
The Channel 4 star, 48, normally goes clean shaven but looked completely different to his typical on screen look.
The survival expert, who was awarded an OBE by the Queen in 2019, sported a bold moustache as he headed into the historical building to pay his respects to Her Majesty following her death on Thursday September 7.

Wearing a black suit completed with a black tie, the Man vs. Wild host looked incredibly smart as he prepared to join other famous faces at the funeral.
When the news emerged of the Queen’s passing, the Chief Scout paid tribute to the beloved monarch and explained that she “lit up the most” during events celebrating the Scouts.

Speaking to the PA news agency, he said: “I was lucky to meet the Queen on a bunch of different occasions – from the amazing evenings she hosted for Explorers at Buckingham Palace to sitting next to her at dinner one time and she did my OBE.”
He added: “The times I met her, the times she lit up the most, was whenever we did something Scouting. I think it was one of the organisations she was most proud to represent.”

The presenter said the Queen loved volunteering before admitting she “championed” young people in the UK and was “especially proud” when girls were first able to join the Scouts in the 1970s.
The TV star revealed the Queen was “so generous” to the Queen’s Scouts at Windsor Castle, adding: “I remember especially in 2012 driving her up and down the ranks as she inspected all the Queen’s Scouts.

“This was the time when her face was just a huge beaming smile from start to finish.
“She just loved seeing young people get opportunities and skills routed in old fashioned values like kindness, loyalty, friendship and respect that never go out of fashion.”
In his heartwarming statement on behalf of the Scouts, he concluded it with: “A great book has closed – not just a chapter – and a new one now begins. On behalf of every Scout, we thank HM The Queen for her service. We will never forget her.”
