Transforming into HBO’s The Sympathizer for his new role, the Avengers legend appeared to have a larger nose, cheeks and a receding hairline.
In his vintage blue pants, pink shirt and brown shoes, he looks a world away from his days as Iron Man in the Marvel franchise.
It’s just the latest of five roles Robert Downey Jr. has signed on to play in his new project, based on a 2015 novel by Vietnamese-American professor Viet Thanh Nguyen.
It follows a hunted man named The Captain – played by actor Hoa Xuande – who is a half-French, half-Vietnamese spy who was exiled to Los Angeles in the final days of the Vietnam War.
Robert goes up against five different sub-antagonists in the post-Vietnam War thriller and shaved his head for one of the roles back in October.
In one video, his kids helped him by using electric clippers to transform their famous dad.
“The things we do for our work… and our kids,” Robert wrote in the caption.
He showed off his new look at a special screening of Sr, a Netflix documentary about his late father.
Robert presented his new look on the red carpet wearing a blue patterned blazer and matching tinted glasses.
