Pedro Pascal looks unrecognisable on set of new movie in Mexico
Pedro Pascal had fans doing a serious double take this week as he stepped out on set in Mexico City looking almost completely unrecognisable.The 51-year-old actor was spotted filming scenes for his upcoming romantic drama De Noche, directed by Todd Haynes, and his transformation into a 1930s character was nothing short of striking. Dressed in a vintage-inspired suit, complete with a fedora hat and worn-in leather satchel, Pedro fully embodied the role of a hard-boiled detective.Set against a backdrop of classic cars and cobbled streets, the actor appeared deep in character as he shot scenes in the bustling city, bringing an old Hollywood noir aesthetic to life. His rugged look, paired with a more understated grooming style, marked a noticeable departure from the polished red carpet appearances fans are used to seeing.In De Noche, Pedro stars opposite Danny Ramirez in what is shaping up to be one of his most intriguing roles yet. The film, described as a gay noir romance, follows a detective and a boarding school teacher who embark on a passionate relationship before fleeing corruption in 1930s Los Angeles and escaping to Mexico.The role sees Pedro lean into a darker, more introspective character, with the period styling adding to the intensity of the transformation.The project also marks a collaboration with Todd, known for his visually rich storytelling and emotionally complex narratives, suggesting De Noche will deliver both style and substance when it hits screens.It’s not the first time Pedro’s appearance has sparked conversation recently. Just weeks ago, he had fans talking when he debuted a dramatically different look at the Academy Awards on March 15.Known for his signature mustache since his breakout role in Narcos, Pedro surprised onlookers by going clean-shaven for the star-studded event at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Dressed in Chanel, he opted for a crisp white shirt with a bold floral embellishment, high-waisted black trousers and sleek silver-rimmed glasses.The change quickly went viral, with fans flooding social media to say he looked like a completely "different person" – a reaction that now feels even more fitting given his latest on-set transformation.With filming now underway and anticipation building, De Noche is already shaping up to be a must-watch.
