Bret Baier is unrecognizable to viewers without hair and makeup

Fox News fans received a shocking dose of reality when one anchor revealed what he looks like before spending time in hair and makeup.

Bret Baier posted a video to his TikTok account, and he looked so different that some could only identify him by his voice.

OMG, I had no idea who that was until I heard the voice pic.twitter.com/EwPtiGZ0zl

“Yes, this is what my hair looks like when I’m not on set,” Baier said, pointing out his fuzzy locks. “I’m working out right now, cross between Bobby Brady and Albert Einstein.”

“Okay, tonight, Howard Lutnick, commerce secretary, on talking about the EU deal, the trade deal, the Japan deal, what comes next,” he continued, giving viewers a sneak peek behind the scenes of the night’s show. “They’re meeting full time with China right now. President [Donald] Trump overseas with the UK prime minister expansive news conference, get into all the things he said. Plus, we have a hostage who was released from Gaza and two family members who have hostages inside. That hostage who was released was with them, and they talked about it all tonight.”

“Really emotional; we’ll see you at 6 pm tonight and I’ll have my hair regular,” Baier quipped.

Some X users couldn’t believe their eyes, while others couldn’t help but make jokes. Many also suggested that the natural look suits Baier more, and he should rock it more often:

He looks so much younger without that crap in his hair. He also looks thinner here.

This is exactly what they do to make women beautiful, with filters and makeup. The only way one knows for sure is to see a person gardening with no makeup. Haha

The power of hair gel. I think Bret should just F it and go natural on air. Hair, balanced and still unafraid
