HOLLYWOOD heartthrob Austin Butler has been spotted looking totally unrecognisable in his new sci-fi movie.
The 31-year-old star is set to play Feyd-Rautha in Dune 2, and footage shows him without his iconic blonde locks.
Austin surprised fans with his bald appearance in an epic first trailer release for the new film.
He plays a newcomer, alongside Florence Pugh who stars as Princess Irulan.
As well as not having any hair, Austin’s character in the film is also without eyebrows and his new look caused quite a stir on social media.
One person wrote: “WHAT DID THEY DO TO HIM?” while a second added: “Woke up to Prada Voldemort.”
A third simply penned: “JUMPSCARE.”
CinemaCon attendees have said of Austin’s look in the new movie that it’s “extremely menacing and almost monstrous,” after they were given an exclusive look.
And the film, which lands in cinemas on the 3rd of November, was no easy ride for Austin.
He said the gruelling preparation process made him “throw up every time.”
But Austin is used to a transformation for a movie, and he had to do it again not too long ago as he became The King for Baz Luhrmann’s hit Elvis biopic.
Austin said he spent hours wandering around Graceland, the Memphis mansion which was once home to rock ’n’ roll legend Elvis, to feel his presence.
Speaking of meeting the chart legend’s former wife Priscilla, Austin said: “That time was less about the questions and more about trying to feel his energy, trying to feel the humanity of him.
“She took me over to Graceland and said, ‘This is where I believe his spirit is.’
“Then I just got to spend the day in Graceland by myself and sort of sit in different rooms and think, ‘This is where they had Christmas’ and, ‘This is where he used to sit and eat breakfast’ and just humanise him.”
