Gerard Butler was rocking a slick blond hairpiece while on set of his new crime thriller In The Hand Of Dante on Wednesday in New York City.
The Scottish actor, 54, looked worlds away from his usual rough and ready bearded appearance, while puffing on a cigarette on set.
The Hollywood icon was barely recognisable as he slipped into his brand-new character, while sporting a pale green suit.
Gerard added a black print shirt underneath and wore a cross necklace as he strutted the streets, braving the chilly weather.
The 300 star was seen busy talking to the movie director Julian Schnabel as he took notes before commencing the scene.

His quirky look was completed with silver bracelets and chunky gold rings.
Gerard began filming in October in Italy, where he was seen modelling for the first time the blond hairpiece.
While characters have not been officially confirmed, Gerard, Jason Momoa and Oscar Isaac are set to lead the cast of the upcoming crime thriller.
The news about the performers’ addition to the project was revealed by Deadline in October.
The project, which will also feature the participation of Gal Gadot, also boasts Martin Scorsese as one of its executive producers.
Both Oscar and filmmaker Julian also serve as executive producers for the upcoming movie.
In The Hand Of Dante is based on Nick Tosches’ novel of the same name, which was published in 2002.
The movie alternates between two interconnected stories, with one taking place in the 14th century and the other being set in modern times.

Director Julian Schnabel, 71, first mentioned that he was working on the project during an interview with Vanity Fair Spain last September and the movie will feature Oscar Isaac and Jason Momoa alongside Gerard (Julian seen in September)
The latter of the two is centered on a fictionalized version of the author, who is ordered by Mafia captains to authenticate an allegedly original manuscript of the Divine Comedy after it falls into the possession of a smuggling operation.
However, Tosches brazenly steals the item, which was said to have been written by Dante Aligheri himself, and escapes from the mob alongside his romantic partner, Giulietta.
The 14th-century narrative revolves around the Divine Comedy’s author, who attempts to finish his story after traveling to Sicily.
Julian, 71, first mentioned that he was working on the project during an interview with Vanity Fair Spain that was published last September.
Johnny Depp was previously connected to the project, and his production company, Infinitum Nihil, purchased the rights to the book in 2008.
The performer was attached to play one of the lead roles at one point, although he eventually stepped away from the film for unknown reasons.
Julian spoke to The Guardian earlier in September and stated: ‘I don’t know what happened, but we haven’t talked for years.’
Oscar, 44, Gerard and Jason, 44, later signed on to appear in the feature, which began filming in Italy and now moved to New York City.
The project’s crew also obtained an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA, which allows the film to be shot during the union’s ongoing strike.
In The Hand Of Dante’s release date has not been revealed as of yet.
