Liev Schreiber looked unrecognizable on the set of Darren Aronofsky’s crime thriller Caught Stealing, starring Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz and Regina King.
The 57-year-old actor, who recently starred alongside Nicole Kidman in the Netflix whodunit The Perfect Couple, was dressed this weekend in clothing traditionally worn by Orthodox Jews.
While in character, the father of three apparently wore a hoiche (a black hat with a tall crown), a long dark jacket and a white shirt.
Schreiber, who usually has heavy stubble and a short cut, also wore a fake mustache and beard as he stepped in front of the cameras.
However, his piercing blue eyes, tall stature, and muscular build all remained intact.
