Haley, 33, debuted a strikingly different look while appearing on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune on Sunday.
The child star showed off a substantially thinned physique and trimmed beard as he took the stage to compete against Curtis Stone and Tatyana Ali.
The long-time actor wore a simple black suit with a white undershirt and smiled brightly as he played the money game.
Haley ended up winning the competition, donating over $140,000 to Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, the charity of his choice.
CHILD STAR
The Pay It Forward star's career began when he was just four years old after he landed a talent scout and role in a Pizza Hut commercial.
His first feature film was in 1994 when he played Forrest Gump's son, but this was only the push-off point for a massive career.

Haley first hit stardom at the age of 11 when he played Cole Sear in The Sixth Sense, co-starring beside Bruce Willis.
He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance and was the second youngest actor to ever receive the honor.
BREAK FOR EDUCATION
By the time he reached his late teens and early 20s, the talented star decided to take a break from the spotlight and enroll at NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
Looking back on the decision he once told The Guardian: “I did work that practically nobody saw for a long time, which was not a great career move, but, ultimately, was important for me to figure out whether this was what I truly wanted to do for the rest of my life."
Haley added that he has been “always building” on his early fame, explaining: “I’m lucky to have a positive relationship with those periods that can sometimes be difficult for other people.”
However, this didn't stop the momentum of his career, and he has seen recent roles on comedies like What We Do in the Shadows, Silicon Valley, and The Kominsky Method.
The Secondhand Lions star told Celebrity Wheel of Fortune viewers that when not working he spends his time golfing, going to Dodgers games, and snowboarding with friends.
FAMOUS FAMILY
Haley is older brother to actress Emily Osment, 29, whose claim to fame came after she made her debut on Disney Channel and starred in Hannah Montana alongside Miley Cyrus.
The younger Osment recently decided to return to music-making and in March of 2019 launched her newest music alias, Bluebiird.
However, that wasn't the end of her acting career, as she was cast a recurring role in The Kominsky Method alongside her brother, and in October of 2021, her new sitcom Pretty Smart premiered on Netflix.
