Richard Karn, who is famous for playing Al Borland on the ’90s sitcom Home Improvement, has caught people’s attention with his new look. At 68 years old, Karn was spotted shopping in Los Angeles, where many fans noticed how he has changed. In the new photos, he appears slimmer, has gray hair, and a white beard. He was wearing a casual blue-and-red striped golf shirt and navy shorts.
Karn was out in public with his wife, Tudi Roche, during this rare appearance. Home Improvement aired from 1991 to 1999, and even 25 years after the show ended, Karn and his co-star Tim Allen have remained friends. They even worked together on a new show called Assembly Required in 2021. This reality competition show gives contestants a chance to remake everyday items, allowing Karn and Allen to showcase their DIY skills once again.
Tim Allen expressed his happiness about working with Karn again, saying, “It’s a great fit.” Their chemistry is special, just like their characters, Al Borland and Tim Taylor.
Besides Home Improvement, Karn has tried to stay busy with other projects. He appeared in the comedy series PEN15 in 2019 and recently filmed a segment for Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction in 2023. He is also working on two upcoming projects: A Unified Theory of Love and Eastern Market.
As Karn faces new roles, fans remember his television legacy. His recent change shows us that famous stars can grow and change while still making their fans happy.
