The Emmy Award winning actor showed off his new look with white face paint, heavy eye makeup, statement red eyeshadow and rouge lipstick.
His hair was styled in a white mohawk, ditching his usual darker curls, and he wore a red robe with gold embellished detail.
If you haven’t already guessed it…it’s none other than Games of Thrones legend Peter Dinklage, 55.
Peter is starring in the new adaptation of William Shakespeare’s King Lear, titled Lear Rex.
The star looked serious as he filmed scenes on set of the new movie, playing The Fool, who is the King’s trusted advocate.
The film written by directed by Bernard Rose has a stellar cast, with the likes of Al Pacino, 84, as Ray Lear and Jessica Chastain Goneril, 47.
Earlier this summer, it was announced that Peter had been cast alongside Ariana DeBose, Rachel Brosnahan and LaKeith Stanfield.
Peter, who rose to fame as Tyrion Lannister in the HBO smash hit Game of Thrones, looked very much in character.
He seemed to have a villainous look on his face, surrounded by the crew and cast members.
His fellow co-star and The Godfather icon Al was also spotted in his costume, wearing a gold and black robe.
He looked almost unrecognisable with a grey unkempt hair and an overgrown beard.
While Stephen Dorff, 51, sported a ragged one shoulder green garment as he portrays disheveled-looking Poor Tim.
He was also seen dirt on him and wound on his leg.
Producer Barry Navidi told Deadline at the time: “This project has been Al’s labour of love for over a decade.

“I am overjoyed to bring this amazing venture to the screen with Bernard Rose’s brilliant adaptation and bold unique vision.
“I am so excited to team up again with Jess since Pacino’s Wilde Salome.”
Rose added: “Al and I are going to make a bold, cinematic Lear that will be as accessible moving and powerful as the play was for its original audiences.
“I am thrilled to have Jessica Chastain join us on this journey.”
The film follows an aging King as he divides his kingdom among his daughters to prevent future conflict.
Instead of trusting the one daughter who truly cares for him, Lear places his trust into her wicked and cruel sisters.
They strip him of his power and, “condemn him to a wretched wasteland of horror and insanity”.
The release date has not been announced yet.
Peter been acknowledged for his huge acting success after winning four Emmys for his role in Games of Thornes.
He was also awarded the honors for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2019, 2018, 2015 and 2011.
Peter also won Golden Globe in 2012 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries.
He has landed notable roles in major films including The Station Agent, X-Men: Days of Future Past, and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
