Brad Pitt doesn't look like THIS anymore as he begins filming Once Upon A Time In Hollywood sequel
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.

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.

Drew Barrymore gets touchy feely with Cate Blanchett in viral clip driving fans wild
Drew Barrymore had fans buzzing on Monday after sharing a tender moment with Cate Blanchett on The Drew Barrymore Show. The E.T. alum, 50, welcomed the Oscar-winning actress, 56, and quickly launched into a playful discussion about Cate's love of wigs in films. Cate even slipped on a brunette wig, but when she pulled it off and a few strands of her real hair fell out of place, Drew quickly jumped up to help. With a soft smile and a twinkle in her eye, Drew gently smoothed Cate's hair and said sweetly, 'Let me make sure everything is perfect. You deserve to look beautiful.' As she cupped Cate's face and slowly sat back down, the Australian actress smiled and joked, 'Oh thank you, I've been stroked by Drew.' As many viewers recalled, Drew has long made it clear she's a huge Cate Blanchett fan — even joking back in 2017 while promoting The Santa Clarita Diet that Cate would be her dream celebrity to eat if she were a zombie — so it's no wonder social media lit up with reactions to the sweet hair-fixing moment. 'Drew is soooo in love with Cate I've never related to Drew more,' one fan joked, as another posted, 'She was so loving and attentive with Cate, she had been waiting for this meeting for a long time.' Another quipped, 'I feel like I'm interrupting here.' 'The way Drew Barrymore snapped up the opportunity to caress Cate Blanchett. Respect…' someone else posted. One viewer even put a black-and-white filter on the clip, captioning it like an old-timey movie: 'I ship them idc @DrewBarrymore #cateblanchett #drewbarrymore.' Another fan wrote, 'In this instance I have no other choice but bring back Drew Barrymore saying she'd like to eat Cate Blanchett.' And someone else summed up the vibe perfectly: 'I want Drew Barrymore to look at me the way she looks at Cate Blanchett.' One more added, 'The way Drew just kept wanting to hold or touch Cate but was hesitant… it's ok baby, Cate is a touchy person too — you could've crawled in her lap and she would've loved it.' It's clear: Drew's fangirl energy is alive and well — and fans are loving every second. As many viewers recalled, Drew has long made it clear she's a huge Cate Blanchett fan — even joking back in 2017 while promoting The Santa Clarita Diet that Cate would be her dream celebrity to eat if she were a zombie — so it's no wonder social media lit up with reactions to the sweet hair-fixing moment Back in 2017, while promoting The Santa Clarita Diet — where she played a suburban mom-turned-zombie — Drew was asked which celebrity she'd most like to eat. 'Cate Blanchett because she's like the most amazing woman ever,' Drew answered at the time. She added, 'She'd be umami. That's the combination of all the perfect flavors that create that palate explosion that you just can't top.' The tender moment with Cate comes on the heels of another fan-favorite Barrymore sighting — this time during a laid-back luxury yacht getaway. Drew was recently seen enjoying the South of France with her daughters, Olive, 12, and Frankie, 11, whom she shares with her ex-husband Will Kopelman, choosing a practical black one-piece over the usual string bikinis favored by other stars. She leapt off the boat into the ocean with a friend and later dried off on deck, towel cinched at the waist. Last year, Drew opened up about body image on her show, admitting, 'This weekend, I went to the beach with my girls and I just was like: "Ugh, I'm gonna take off my shirt and then I'm gonna be in my bathing suit and I'm gonna run into the water, and my thighs are gonna go like this,"; she said, miming them rubbing together. 'I'm not vain but I'm still a woman, I'm still normal, I still have the same thoughts about my cottage cheese thighs,' she added candidly. 'So I got up and I literally pulled my swimsuit out of my butt, and I ran to that beach - literally, my body just swinging in the wind - and I thought: "I just don't care anymore,"' she said,

‘Childish' Gwynnie's ‘chaotic… toxic' workplace: Goop has lost 140 staff in two years, new bio claims
Gwyneth Paltrow ran a workplace that was allegedly 'chaotic and sometimes toxic,' resulting in mass resignations in recent years, a new book has claimed. The Oscar-winning actor's Goop healthcare and wellness brand has reportedly suffered from an inability to be sustainably profitable, with executives struggling to navigate Paltrow's 'impatience and perfectionism.' The claims come as part of a new biography by Amy Odell, who also penned the 2021 biography Anna, about the life of Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour. In Gwyneth, which was released Tuesday, Odell describes how those that worked at Goop 'seemed cagier than many of Wintour's former employees,' noting that 'many had signed NDAs.' 'The company she founded in 2008 hasn't experienced sustained profitability, has allegedly suffered from a chaotic and sometimes toxic office culture, and has lacked a clear business strategy as it ping-pongs from one of Gwyneth's ideas to the next,' Odell writes, in an excerpt from the book. 'As the main narrator of her own public story, Gwyneth has masterfully shaped our perception of her. She knows all her best angles.' The star of Shakespeare in Love, Sliding Doors and The Talented Mr Ripley – who took a break from Hollywood in 2027 to launch her brand – is also portrayed as somewhat ignorant of the machinations of a business and was described as 'erratic' and 'childish' in the way she dealt with employees, according to the book. Within the past two years, Odell states, Goop lost at least 140 employees, including its chief financial officer, chief technology officer, chief revenue officer, general counsel and chief content officer 'Many were terrified to talk about Gwyneth,' Odell writes. 'Some people I interviewed had seen her take action against people she felt had crossed her. 'Gwyneth has had a habit throughout her life of bringing people close to her, then cooling on them. Some simply move on, while others become dismayed and desperate to get back into her inner circle.' The Independent has reached out to Paltrow and Goop about the claims made in Gwyneth via the company. According to further excerpts of Gwyneth, seen by The Times, the actress was reportedly childish, or even outright rude, to other high-profile individuals she had in her life. After breaking up with Brad Pitt in 1997, she reportedly told an interviewer that she had to explain the difference between separate types of caviar, and described him as being 'dumber than a sack of shit.' The Times reports that, per the book, Paltrow also gossiped about another former fling, Ben Affleck, as well as distancing herself from long-time friend Madonna because her ex-husband Chris Martin had reportedly taken a dislike to her. Paltrow recently harked back to the time when she and Martin were together, prior to their 'conscious uncoupling' in 2014, after appearing in a commercial for software company Astronomer. It came after Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was caught being intimate with his head of HR Kristin Cabot at a Coldplay concert – and was called out by frontman Martin live at the show.
