Zack Morris from ‘Saved by the Bell’ looks unrecognizable Mark-Paul Gosselaar/Instagram Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s appearance at the Critics Choice Awards was a major topic of discussion. Fans who grew up watching Saved by the Bell remember him as the blonde-haired, smooth-talking Zack Morris. With his floppy hairstyle and mischievous charm, he became one of the most recognizable teen actors of the 90s. At the event, however, he looked completely different. Now 50, Gosselaar has traded his blonde locks for slicked-back dark hair and designer stubble. His dark hair and facial stubble gave him a more mature and sophisticated look. Dressed in a white tuxedo with a black bow tie, he gave off a James Bond-like appearance. While some fans were shocked by the change, many appreciated his stylish transformation.
