Chris Pine looked almost unrecognizable as he stepped out to grab a hot cup of coffee on Friday.
The Wonder Woman star, 43, with shaggy hair and a mostly gray beard, was pictured heading back to his parked Porsche.
The Hollywood leading man had just completed a dance class at a nearby studio before stopping for a cup of coffee in the Los Feliz district of Los Angeles.
The actor wore a very colorful cardigan over a gray PBS t-shirt and black shorts over matching leggings.
He completed the look with tan slip-on shoes.

Pine gave a serious and focused look as she left the cafe and walked back to his sports car.
This isn’t the first time Pine has started sporting a long hair look and beard.
Just last year, the actor was accused of being unrecognizable when he decided to sport even longer hair and a bushier gray beard.
Some people suspected that the star’s overgrown hair might be an unusual look.
But there were others who thought the new look was due to his new role in the mystery comedy Poolman, in which he also made his directorial debut.
Part of Darren Barrenman’s role, a hapless dreamer and wannabe philosopher, is that he has long, disheveled hair and a beard.
The cast also includes Annette Bening, Danny DeVito, Jennifer Jason Leigh and DeWanda Wise.
Filming for Poolman began in June 2022, solving the mystery of the new look, but ended a few months later and Pine was seen sporting the long, albeit slightly more groomed, look.
In an interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” Pine described his shaggier appearance as “equal parts laziness and equal parts something I might do here in the future.”

He then revealed one of the benefits of a more relaxed skincare routine.
“If there’s any excuse not to shave and put makeup on, I, you know,” he joked, before once again responding to claims that the transformation was for a role.
“Maybe,” he said, creating more mystery before adding, “It’s mostly laziness.”
Poolman had its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival on September 11th.
As of now, there is no official word on when it will be released widely.
