10 Movie Props You Won't Believe Were Re-Used In Other Films
2. Austin Powers' Wig - Ocean's Eleven
There are many, many things that are distinctively garish about Austin Powers (Mike Myers), from his prominent teeth to his coke bottle glasses, epic mound of chest hair and, yes, his rather naff-looking haircut.
For reasons that still aren't quite clear, Myers wore an Austin Powers wig while rehearsing for the role, and that wig ended up having a most unexpected second life a few years later.
Steven Soderbergh's 2001 Ocean's Eleven remake features a memorable beat where Rusty (Brad Pitt) disguises himself as a doctor, and in an attempt to seem more doctor-y, he dons a pair of fake specs and covers his frosted hair with a boring-looking wig.
But that wig is in fact the very same wig Myers rehearsed in for Austin Powers, and when Pitt first saw the movie's hairstylist present it to him, he reportedly likened it to be a beaver. Well, he's not wrong.
