Christian Bale looked unrecognizable as he sported a new hairstyle on the set of Amazon MGM Studios’ forthcoming sports biopic “Madden.”

The “American Psycho” star was photographed in Atlanta on Wednesday with a deep widow’s peak and long brown hair with graying sideburns.

His face was clean-shaven as he dropped his usual goatee and beard for the acting job.

He wore a pair of aviator shades, a black leather jacket and a pair of slim-fitting black trousers. His look was completed with a pair of black dress shoes and several large rings.

Bale, 51, stars as late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis in the film alongside Nicolas Cage.

Cage, 61, portrays the film’s titular character, Oakland Raiders coach-turned-legendary NFL broadcaster John Madden.

“The film follows Madden’s remarkable journey — from his Super Bowl-winning partnership with Al Davis and the Raiders, to creating ‘Madden NFL,’ and becoming one of the most iconic voices in football history,” per the studio.

Cage was seen on set Monday wearing a fat suit while filming the forthcoming sports biopic.

Photos showed the actor wearing a blue tracksuit and white sneakers. His hair was also styled long to reflect Madden’s signature look.

Joining Cage and Bale in the cast is John Mulaney as Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins, Kathryn Hahn as John’s wife, Virginia Madden, and Sienna Miller as Al’s wife, Carol Davis.

However, the production recently faced turmoil after one of the actors reportedly quit the movie after director David O. Russell allegedly used the N-word.

Sources told TMZ that the unnamed actor left the production two weeks into filming due to alleged racism and a dispute over a full-frontal nudity scene.

But insiders said that the actor could still return to the film as “conversations” were ongoing.

The film was first announced to be in development in 2023.

According to Deadline, Will Ferrell was in talks to take on the role of Madden at the time.

“Madden” does not yet have a release date.
