Fred Durst has left Limp Bizkit fans confused after debuting a new look on Instagram this week.
The 50-year-old shared a photo on Wednesday showing him with a grey wig and a horseshoe moustache. He captioned it: “Thinking about you 70.” On Thursday, he posted a pic he described as “dad vibes.”
In both photos, Durst sports a salmon-coloured dress shirt.
On Twitter, comedian Sean O’Connor opined that Durst “looks like he’s got into flipping houses on HGTV.” Andy Richter thought the rocker looked like Julian Assange.
In the comments on his posts, Durst was compared to the likes of Hulk Hogan, James Hetfield, Richard Gere, Jon Bon Jovi and David Spade.
“This guy needs a station wagon ASAP,” wrote one person. Another wrote: “Hey man…my heater pump on my pool broke any advice?”

Not the good one, the old one that lives way back in her closet on the shelf sandwiched between old sweaters & shoeboxes full of photos and keepsakes. pic.twitter.com/dSZKTM5gre
