Today show weatherman Tim Davies had viewers doing a double take on Tuesday morning. The veteran presenter, 41, ditched his clean-cut look in favour of grey hair and a sizeable beard. Pictured Tim praised the makeup artist as a 'wizard' for her skillful portrayal, which left him looking nearly unrecognisable as Ian McKellen's iconic character from the Peter Jackson films.
With his unkempt hair and bushy beard, Tim looked world's away from the stylish weatherman he is known as. However, the long-time presenter still had his trademark cheeky grin. Before finding fame on Today, the weatherman worked in radio as the news presenter for The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
According to his Nine bio, Tim was employed by Austereo for about 12 months back in 2013, and even posted about his departure on Instagram in November that year. Tim started his media career working as a Sydney traffic reporter at Nova 96.9.
Ironically, Tim got his start in television working for the Today show's main rival, Channel Seven's Sunrise, in 2009. He also worked for Weekend Sunrise and The Morning Show, before leaving the network in 2013.
