Bradley Cooper looked totally unrecognisable as he transformed into someone else for his new film role.
The Nightmare Alley actor, 47, stars as the legendary composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein in the upcoming movie Maestro.
Maestro also has Bradley directing and stars Carey Mulligan as Bernstein's wife Felicia Montealegre, and Jeremy Strong as critic John Gruen.
First look images were released from the film and it shocked fans to see how different Bradley looked from his usual self.
The actor was covered in extensive make-up which made him look years older. He also had white hair that was slicked back.
The movie follows the life of the American conductor, who died from a heart attack in 1990 at the age of 72.
Bradley also plays the younger version of Leonard, as seen in the photos shared online by Netflix social media accounts.
Fans immediately took to the comment section to share their shock at the extreme change.
"That’s some terrific prosthetic work on Bradley in the last two pics," one user said.
Another impressed user added: "Wow. Whoever the special effect makeup person was is incredible. He really looks like a believable old man."
"Holy s**t that make up is incredible," one shocked fan wrote while another simply stated: "And Best Makeup goes to…"
“THIS IS HOW YOU DO MAKEUP,” one person excitedly shared, while some said his appearance was “unrecognisable”.
The Netflix movie follows the behind the scenes Broadway legend and his relationship with Felicia, who stayed with him his whole life despite knowing he was gay.
Leonard and Felicia's relationship spanned more than 30 years. They first met in 1946.
They had two engagements, a 25-year marriage as well as three children.

Leonard had many accomplishments throughout his life and won seven Emmy Awards, two Tony Awards and 16 Grammy Awards.
Production on the movie started in May, but a release date has not yet been confirmed.
Steven Spielberg was originally going to direct a Bernstein biographical drama and recruited Bradley to star in it.
"I [told Spielberg], 'I always felt like I could play a conductor, but may I research the material and see if I can write it and direct it? Would you let me do that?'" Bradley told Variety recently.
"Steven has a lot of interests — he’ll just choose one thing and all of the other things will be on hold. I think he knew he wasn’t going to make that movie for a while. He was kind enough to hand it off to me, and that’s what I’ve been doing for the last four and a half years."
