Jason typically maintains a clean-shaven look and shocked fans with his wild and long hair.

He attended the game with long locks which turned into waves brushing his shoulders and a growing beard.

Fans were left shocked by Jason’s transformation and replied to the latest photo which is going viral on X, formerly Twitter.

“Maybe he’s prepping for a role?” one fan guessed.

“Probably getting ready for a movie part,” a second proposed.

“Maybe he’s auditioning for a Manson biopic,” yet a third suggested.

“Maybe he has an upcoming role playing Jesus?” a fourth fan ventured.

“Nah, just filming Teen Wolf 3,” another joked.

“Forgot he starred on Little House on the Prairie,” another fan jested, adding a photo of Michael Landon from the 1974 television series.

Jason starred in Little House on the Prairie at 11 as the character James Cooper.

NEW PROJECT

The Ozark star is co-starring beside Jude Law in a new Netflix mini-series titled Black Rabbit.

Jason will also be directing the first two episodes with Jude credited as an executive producer.

Cleopatra Coleman, Amaka Okafor, Sope Dirisu, and Dagmara Dominczyk have all been credited by Netflix as cast members.

The show description reads, “When the owner of a New York City hotspot allows his turbulent brother back in his life, he opens the door to escalating dangers that threaten to bring down everything he’s built.”

A release date hasn’t been confirmed, but the mini-series reportedly began development in October 2022, according to Variety.

GETTING IN CHARACTER?

Although Jason is primarily based in California, the New York Post reported the star was eyeing a $9.9 million New York City Tribeca penthouse.

“Celebrities just love the building because it’s so nondescript,” an insider told the outlet.

“There’s no doorman. You just slip into a nothing building and then walk into an apartment that has such a wow factor,” the source claimed.

The outlet reported the 3,324 square-foot loft has attracted the eyes of other celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence, Naomi Watts, and Jake Gyllenhaal the last time it was on the market.

It was previously listed for $11 million.
