Brad Pitt Unveils New Look: From Red Carpet to Surfer Style in Hollywood Sequel!

Brad Pitt will likely have fans doing double takes as he unveiled a new ¿ yet familiar ¿ look on the set of the Once Upon A Time in Hollywood sequel in LA on Monday. He has been embracing a dapper wardrobe as of late as he promotes his recent F1 film; pictured June 23 in London

BRAD PITT'S RADICAL MAKEOVER: FROM DAPPER TO SURFER DUDE

The 61-year-old Oscar winner, Brad Pitt, has been making waves on the red carpet with his chiseled features and stylish buzz cut, but it looks like he's ditched the dapper look for a more relaxed vibe. In a shocking departure from his usual slick and sophisticated self, Pitt was spotted on the set of The Adventures of Cliff Booth, rocking a chin-length blonde hairdo and a scruffy mustache.

Sources close to the project revealed that Pitt is returning to his role as stuntman Cliff Booth in the sequel to Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which earned him an Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role. But this time around, he's trading in his tailored suits and crisp shirts for a more laid-back look.

The new photos of Pitt on set show him sporting a buttoned yellow camp shirt worn over a graphic T-shirt and jeans, looking more like a surfer dude than the Hollywood A-lister we're used to seeing. And it seems this new look is more than just a costume – insiders claim that Pitt has fully immersed himself in the character's psyche, embracing his alter ego as Cliff Booth.

But what's really got tongues wagging is the news that Quentin Tarantino, the writer and director of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, is returning to write the sequel. And while he'll be handing directing duties over to David Fincher, fans are still eager to see what this new installment has in store for us.

The story picks up where we left off with Cliff Booth, a stuntman for Rick Dalton (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), but this time around, it's all about exploring more of Cliff's backstory and his role as a Hollywood fixer. And let's be real – who wouldn't want to see more of Brad Pitt in action?

In an interview last month, Pitt clarified the project's status, stating that it was "not really a sequel but an episode" featuring the character of Cliff Booth. But don't let the terminology fool you – this is still shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated projects of the year.

With a cast list that includes Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Carla Gugino, Scott Caan, and JB Tadena, we can expect some serious star power in this upcoming release. And let's not forget that Pitt won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Cliff Booth in the original film – talk about pressure to live up to expectations!

But don't worry, folks – it seems like Pitt is taking the whole thing in stride. Sources close to the project claim that he's "really enjoying" working on the sequel and is even "looking forward to exploring more of Cliff's character."

So what can we expect from this highly anticipated sequel? Will it live up to the original's standards, or will it fall short of our expectations? Only time (and Tarantino's signature style) will tell.

One thing's for sure – with Brad Pitt back in action as Cliff Booth and a star-studded cast at his side, we're in for a wild ride. And judging by these new photos, it looks like Pitt is ready to take on the role of Cliff like never before.

Stay tuned, folks – this one's going to be worth waiting for!

And while we're waiting for more details to emerge about this highly anticipated project, let's take a look back at some of the highlights from the original film. From Brad Pitt's iconic portrayal of Cliff Booth to Leonardo DiCaprio's stunning performance as Rick Dalton, it was clear that this movie was something special.
