In fact, if the report didn’t tell us, we wouldn’t have found out that this mild-mannered gentleman with thinning hair, a hooked nose and a double chin is Hollywood hottie Colin Farrell.

The 46-year-old star transformed into ‘The Penguin’ – one of Batman’s nemesis – and was snapped by paparazzi on set in Manhattan for the upcoming HBO Max series ‘The Penguin’.

Farrell first played the villainous ‘Penguin’ – a Gotham City mobster aka Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot – in last year’s blockbuster ‘The Batman’.

This time his transformation is truly impressive.

Farrell is expected to attend the Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, where he will go with his son, as he is nominated for best actor for his role in “The Banshee of Inicerin,” a performance that gave him glowing comments.
