Jeremy Irons was spotted at Rochdale town hall as he transformed into former Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain for a new Netflix film.
The award-winning film star was spotted in character as Chamberlain as he filmed at the historic building.
The upcoming movie Munich, coming to screens next year, is adapted from Robert Harris' 2017 spy thriller of the same name.
The novel documents Chamberlain's famous 'peace for our time' trip to Munich in September 1938 to meet Adolf Hitler.
Irons, 72, who won the best actor Oscar in 1991 for Reversal of Fortune, was unrecognisable in a black hat with grey moustache on set.
The actor also sported pinstripe trousers for his role.
His transformation was completed with a smart waistcoat, tie and pocket chain.
When the cameras weren't rolling he was seen wearing a protective blue mask.
And he was seen carrying a warming cup of coffee.
Chamberlain was hailed as bringing peace to Europe after signing a non-aggression pact with Germany.
Chamberlain arrived back in the UK holding an agreement signed by Hitler and read it to a jubilant crowd gathered at Heston Aerodrome in west London.
However Hitler did not keep to the promises he made.
A year later he derided the agreement as just a 'scrap of paper' and invaded Poland on September 1 1939.
Two days later Britain and France declared war on Nazi Germany and the Second World War began.
Rochdale Town Hall opened on 27 September 1871 and with its period features it has also hosted sets for TV shows Peaky Blinders and Coronation Street and the film Tolkien.
The story goes that the stunning Grade 1 listed building came to the attention of Hitler.
He is said to have admired it so much that he wanted to ship the building brick-by-brick to Germany had the UK been defeated in the Second World War.
