Veteran actor Jeff Bridges surprised attendees at a press event for Sony's upcoming animated flick Surf's Up by showing up sporting a brand new hairstyle: completely bald.

"It's for a role -- Iron Man," explained Bridges. "Obadiah Stane is my character."

Bridges described Stane as "kind of a mentor" to Iron Man. The ever-reliable Wikipedia, however, labels him Stane as "ruthless" and a "nemesis" to the superhero.
