Taron Egerton debuted a brand-new look on Monday when he was spotted filming on the set of Kockroach, which began production in Sydney last month.
Previously, the Welsh actor, 36, sported a completely shaved head for a grittier look after starring in the action thriller Apex.
But this week, he appeared to have grown his hair back, styling it into a sleek parting for his new role in the upcoming Chris Hemsworth-led flick.
The Kingsman star was dressed for his character in a simple white button-up and black tie with matching slacks.
At one point, Taron could be seen having a friendly conversation with fellow crew members during a break in filming.
Production on Kockroach commenced in New South Wales last month, and has been billed as a ‘genre-bending crime drama’.
Taron Egerton, 36, has now traded in his gritty Apex look for a more well-groomed style on the set of his latest movie Kockroach
The movie will star Chris Hemsworth, as well as Taron and Zazie Beetz, and has been adapted from the novel by William Lashner.
Kockroach depicts the story of a mysterious stranger who takes on the underworld’s criminal elite by transforming himself into a larger-than-life crime boss.
‘We could not be more excited to be shooting Kockroach in Sydney. It’s truly a world-class, film-friendly city in every respect,’ producer Andrew Lazar has said.
It comes after Taron was spotted looking Bond-ready in Bondi last month as he went for a swim at the beach with his younger girlfriend, Brooks Nader, on his arm.
Those close to the typically private actor were recently left puzzled by his PDA-packed display with Brooks, 29, in March, which was revealed by Daily Mail.
Insiders questioned whether the amorous make-out session in California was in fact a ploy to increase his chances of being picked for the 007 role by being snapped with the model, after it was claimed he’s on the shortlist to replace Daniel Craig.
While some even suggested his new relationship was a ‘showmance’, Taron and Brooks have since doubled down with another romantic display.
He was pictured walking out of the water in Bondi, Sydney, holding hands with Brooks a few weeks ago – just like Daniel in his memorable Casino Royale beach scene.

Is Taron Egerton’s public romance a clever career move or just Hollywood playing with our perceptions?

Taron opted for navy swimming shorts rather than tight briefs, showing off his incredibly ripped torso as he went shirtless for the dip.
His muscular physique and Bond-girl-ready partner make him a shoo-in for the coveted role, which has been in contention since Daniel announced his departure.
The images of them kissing in March left many asking whether Taron may have unwittingly found himself at the centre of La-La Land’s latest ‘showmance’ – a term coined in the early days of Hollywood referring to two stars who use a romantic entanglement to boost both their profiles.
It emerged at the time that the possible matchmaker for the couple was none other than Lauren Sanchez, who introduced the pair at her star-studded Venice wedding to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos last June.
Lauren then set them up on a ‘proper date’ at the end of March.
