Mike Myers made a rare public appearance at the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala, marking his first event in over a year. The 60-year-old actor, known for his roles in “Austin Powers” and “Shrek,” sported a gray buzz cut and looked dapper in a tux as he attended the event where Nicole Kidman was being honored. Myers stopped to take pictures with fans on his way into the Dolby Theatre on Saturday night. He wore a mask on stage before revealing himself and making a speech at the gala.
While Myers has been out of the spotlight for a few years, his last on-screen role was in David O. Russell’s 2022 film, “Amsterdam.” In that same year, he created and starred in the Netflix series “The Pentaverate.” There were rumors of a fourth installment of his famous “Austin Powers” franchise, but Myers has neither confirmed nor denied the existence of such a project. He currently leads a low-profile life with his wife Kelly Tisdale and their three children, Spike, Sunday, and Paulina.
Myers met Kelly Tisdale in 2006 and the couple quietly tied the knot in 2010. Despite his Hollywood success, Myers shared that his children are unimpressed by his career. He joked in an interview that his kids are remarkably unexcited about anything he does, which he finds great. Amid speculation about a new “Austin Powers” movie, Myers has remained tight-lipped about any potential projects. His last known work was in the series “The Pentaverate” for Netflix.
At the AFI Life Achievement Award Gala, despite being solo, Myers made an appearance to honor Nicole Kidman who was being recognized. Kidman was joined by her husband, Keith Urban, as well as her teen daughters Sunday and Faith. The actress also brought her sister Antonia and niece Sybella Hawley to the event. Myers, who usually keeps a low profile, came out to support Kidman and was spotted mingling with fans and friends at the prestigious event.
Since his last on-screen role in 2022, Myers has been more private about his personal and professional life. He has been focusing on family and spending time away from the public eye. Myers’ appearance at the gala was a rare treat for fans who have missed seeing the beloved actor in the limelight. While rumors of a new “Austin Powers” movie continue to circulate, Myers has not provided any updates on his next project or potential return to the big screen.
As one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors, Myers continues to maintain a sense of mystery and discretion in his career and personal life. Despite his fame, he prefers to keep a low profile and focus on his family. Fans can only hope for more appearances and projects from the talented actor in the future, but for now, Myers seems content with his quiet life out of the public eye. His attendance at the AFI Life Achievement Award Gala was a rare chance for fans to catch a glimpse of the elusive star, who made a stylish appearance and showed his support for Nicole Kidman on her special night.
