He has been looking dapper on the red carpet as of late with a handsome buzz cut.
But Brad Pitt will likely have fans doing double takes as he unveiled a new — yet familiar — look on the set of the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood sequel.
New photos of the actor on the set of The Adventures of Cliff Booth show a noticeably dressed-down Pitt resembling more of a surfer than his usual dapper self.
The 61-year-old Oscar winner, who is returning to his role of stuntman Cliff Booth, rocked chin-length blonde hair and a mustache.
In a departure from his recent crisp apparel, his costume consisted of an buttoned yellow camp shirt worn over a graphic T-shirt and jeans.
The scene was shot at the New Beverly Cinema, a theater in Los Angeles owned by Once Upon A Time In Hollywood writer and director Quentin Tarantino.
Tarantino is returning to write the sequel, but he's handing directing duties over to Zodiac and Seven filmmaker David Fincher
Pitt was also seen minus the long hair — but mustache remaining — as he milled about the set in a blue shirt, jeans and sneakers.
A coffee cup in hand suggested he was taking a break out of character between takes.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, released in 2019, starred Pitt as Cliff, a stuntman for the Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio).
DiCaprio is not listed as a cast member on the show's IMDb page, which describes the plot as showcasing 'more of Cliff Booth's backstory in his new role as a Hollywood fixer.'
Tarantino previously fleshed out the character beyond how he's portrayed in the film with a novelization of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood that he wrote.
While the upcoming film will focus on Cliff, Pitt clarified last month that the project was 'not really a sequel but an episode' featuring the character.
'This is something Quentin Tarantino wrote. It's an episode, not really a sequel, but an episode of the character from Once Upon A Time,' he told Deadline.
Though still rocking his mustache, Brad appeared to be sporting his everyday apparel while on the set on Monday
'But he didn't want to direct it at this point, and my friend David Fincher, our friend, I say our mutual friend, David Fincher stepped in to direct it,' Pitt explained. 'So we're doing that for Netflix and we're gonna start in July, it should be really fun. It should be good fun.'
In addition to Pitt, the cast consists of Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Carla Gugino, Scott Caan and JB Tadena.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood earned numerous awards and nominations, including multiple Oscar nods.
Pitt won the Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of Cliff.
