SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This famous performer is a real character.

They have been around for decades, but we had a difficult time recognizing them in this particular photo.

Maybe it’s the hair. Or the makeup. Or the eyes.

Or all of the above.

It’s definitely a different look for them.

Can you guess who it is?

SOLVED!

Performer: Marilyn Manson

Singer Brian Hugh Warner is better known by his stage name, Marilyn Manson.

Here is what Marilyn Manson usually looks like.

And sometimes he looks likes this.

So don’t feel too bad if you didn’t know what Marilyn Manson looks in real life… without his makeup/wig/teeth/eye on!

Hey, did you know that Marilyn Manson is good friends with Johnny Depp?

Johnny Depp has a band called The Hollywood Vampires and Marilyn Manson will occasionally perform with them.

The two men enjoy making music together. So much so that last year Marilyn Manson even hinted that Depp could be joining his band!

From The Independent:

Johnny Depp might be joining Marilyn Manson’s band

Marilyn Manson teased that Johnny Depp could potentially join his band.

The goth rocker posted a mysterious tweet saying, “Johnny Depp is considering a position on guitar. Sound great?”

It seemed like he was crowdsourcing to see what his fans would think about a collaboration.

The responses were polarising: people were either enthusiastic about the collaboration or slamming him for domestic abuse. 

One user said, “people did NOT forget about amber heard please don’t do this to the band just don’t” while another wrote, “definitely the hottest bachelor duo around.”

We don’t know if that will ever happen. Right now, Depp is tied up in a whole slew of legal matters with his ex-wife Amber Heard.

Speaking of which, here are Depp, Manson and Heard together in happier days.

Awww!

When he is not making music, Marilyn Manson is keeping busy with his second career as an actor.

Here he is doing a makeup-free cameo on Eastbound and Down.

Next year, you can catch him in The New Pope, The Stand, and American Gods.

His acting career has really taken off!

He loves the classics, too.

Here is Marilyn Manson posing with one of his favorite classic actors, Jane Fonda.

Hey, wait a minute.

That’s not Marilyn Manson!

That’s Lily Tomlin!

Tomlin stars with Jane Fonda in a TV series called Frankie and Gracie.

But, boy, Marilyn Manson sure does resemble her, doesn’t he?

Congratulations to BoomBangCrash for being first with the correct answer!

    I’m surprised no one got it.
    It’s Martha Yeardley Smith who was in The Legend of Billie Jean but is best known as “character” voice of Lisa Simpson on The Simpsons.
    No, not a fan of The Simpsons.

    Face shape it’s probably Marilyn Manson, but it could also be Clay Aiken.

    Clay Aiken, final answer.

    ….

    I am pretty sure that this is Marilyn Manson.

    I was never a huge fan, but I didn’t hate his music.

    That’s Brian Hugh Warner (aka Marilyn Manson), isn’t it? I guess the new look is jazz friendly (he released a jazz album some time ago).

      Oh snap, I keep looking and now I think it’s Alan Rickman.
      I’ll probably guess again in about 10 minutes. Oh well.
      WHO IS IT!

    That nose and mouth must be Marilyn Manson.

    Not a fan of heavy metal, never heard his music.
    I just remember his engagement to Rose McGowan.

    Looks like Lily Tomlin to me, but I guess it’s probably a dude, as to who, I have no idea.

  80. CanaryCry says

    John Travolta? LOL!!

    Seriously, I’ve liked most of his output since Welcome Back, Kotter … even Staying Alive & Perfect. Can’t be bothered with Battlefield Earth, though.

    I’m probably way off, but this looks like Lily Tomlin to me.

    It looks like one of those accidental selfie shots I sometimes take when looking at my phone. I usually scream and try to delete it immediately. If I scare myself, the photo does not need to exist. lol

    Looks like Lili Tomlin. Absolutely i am – of her as a comedian and actor. I still love ‘9 to 5’ and her work in ‘Grace & Frankie’ is hilarious.

    Something is very Lily Tomlin, but also, oddly Martin Short too. I’ll go with my gut… Lily Tomlin.
