The actor who played Gunther, James Michael Tyler in the series of Friends, has surprised all the fans by the change in appearance that he has shown compared to his role.

The character of Gunther is as iconic as any of the six pillars in the series Friends. The lovable and often scathing manager of the friend group’s favorite coffee shop, Central Perk, was a basic supporting character throughout the show’s ten seasons.
Gunther was best known for his enduring love for Rachel (Jennifer Aniston). Although he never captured Rachel’s affections, Gunther caught the attention of fans and remains a revered part of the Friends legacy.
However, many years have passed since the Friends ended, so some of his actors usually don’t look as alike as they did in their prime years. But, the actor James Michael Tyler, has surprised everyone.

Tyler no longer has the bleached blonde hair that was Gunther’s trademark physical trait, which Rachel described in the series finale as “brighter than the sun.” He also doesn’t keep his face clean-shaven, a look that gave Gunther a kind of boyish aesthetic trapped in a man’s body.
His hair is now brown, and he has made appearances, like on The Today Show in 2019, sporting a full beard and mustache. His image is more of a grizzled academic and less of an unfortunate buffoon.
