Pete Davidson is deceiving fans with his looks. The Saturday Night Live alum goes completely unrecognised in Brooklyn, N.Y. while filming the crime thriller Tommy Karate, in which he plays the role of real-life mafia killer Tommy Pitera.
The transformation left fans baffled after behind-the-scenes pictures from the film's set surfaced, showing Davidson wearing attention-grabbing blue contacts and a dark-haired wig that had him rocking a much longer do. Apart from his changed looks, the comedian completely altered his appearance to be seen differently.
The father-of-one sported a black bomber jacket reading "Okinawa" with a red Japanese Oni mask embroidered on the back, matched with a black button-up shirt that featured a bird pattern. The King of Staten Island actor paired the look with black pants and red sneakers. The actor's transformation was first unleashed last month.
Davidson is playing the character tied to the Bonanno crime family who earned the nickname "Tommy Karate" due to his martial arts expertise. However, seeing Davidson in such a serious role might be surprising for many, but Tommy Karate has been a passion project for Davidson - who is serving as both producer and co-writer on the film.
