Jared wore a bald patch, receding grey hair and ageing prosthetics to complete the look.

He completed the look with a purple corduroy suit and a lilac shirt, completed with green shoes.

The look is a drastically different look for the star – who is missing his long locks and beard.

The Suicide Squad actor will be staring alongside Lady Gaga and Adam Driver for the crime drama.

It follows Reggiani Gucci as she plots to murder her ex-husband Maurizio, the heir to the famous Italian fashion empire.

Jared is known for undergoing dramatic transformations for his roles.

He previously changed into trans woman Rayon in his Oscar-winning role for Dallas Buyers Club.

The star also became the iconic Joker – complete with green hair, tattoos and white skin – in Suicide Squad and Zack Snyder’s Justice League cut.

His character Paolo Gucci was vice president and managing director of Gucci Shops Inc and Gucci Parfums of America.

He clashed with his uncle Rodolfo – played by Jeremy Irons – as he wanted to modernise the brand, before being fired in 1978.

Then he fought with Maurizio (Adam Driver), before declaring bankruptcy in 1990 with debts of around $90 million.

The film is based on the best selling novel The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour and Greed by Sara Gay Forden.

It tracks Reggiani (Lady Gaga) who hires a hitman to kill her husband Maurizio Gucci.
