He's ditched the hair gel for a whole new look as he goes totally bald for 2019.

John Travolta, best known for his roles as Danny in Grease and Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction, has made a bold (or bald) move and shaved off all his hair to welcome in the new year.

He revealed the big change on his Instagram, as he posed with his 18-year-old daughter Ella Bleu.

Dressed in a tuxedo and holding a martini, he captioned the photo: "I hope everyone had a great New Year!"

It's not the first time that Travolta has gone without in the hair department - in 2010 he shaved off his hair to play Charlie Wax in From Paris With Love.

In recent years, the actor has sported various hairstyles, with some publications claiming he was wearing a wig due to recent photos that showed his receding hairline.

Back in the day, Travolta sported an iconic slicked-back quiff for his role as Danny Zuko in cult classic Grease alongside Olivia Newton-John. The pair celebrated the film's 40th anniversary in 2018 with a special film screening.
