First look at Matt Smith's radical hair transformation for new movie

Matt Smith looks drastically different as he filmed for his latest movie with Austin Butler.

The Doctor Who star rocked a yellow and orange mohawk as he got into character as a punk while filming scenes for Caught Stealing.

His look was completed with red tartan trousers, a studded leather jacket, and a dark ripped T-shirt with what appeared to be a bullet on a chain around his neck.

While filming in New York, the House of the Dragon star had a cut on his head while in character.

Speaking about the role in a statement, Smith said: "To work alongside Nick Cave on The Death of Bunny Munro feels like a great honour. It's a brilliant exploration of love, grief, and chaos.

"At its heart a deep, difficult, and tender story about a father and son, coping with loss and change.

"Clerkenwell Films and Sky feels like the perfect home to make such a bold story and Pete has delivered such wonderful scripts, both funny and heartbreaking in equal measure.
