Liam Hemsworth almost unrecognisable in new role: 'Can't wait!'
The Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth looks almost unrecognisable in his latest role.
The star transformed for his role in Russell Crowe’s second directorial film called Poker Face.
The Stan Original film revolves around a game of high-stakes poker hosted by tech billionaire Jake, played by Russell Crowe, in his Miami mansion.
From the trailer, things escalate when a dangerous group of home invaders infiltrate Jake’s mansion, leading to violence, danger and terror.

Liam plays one of Jake’s childhood friends and the star traded his usual short locks for a longer, slicked-back low ponytail.
Instead of his regular brown hair, there seem to be brushes of grey through his straight locks.
The Isn’t It Romantic star looks much older than his 32 years, and his character appears to be under immense stress during the poker game.
Fans were quick to take to social media to discuss his new film.
“Liam looks so old…more than Mr Crowe,” one fan wrote.
“Awesome!! Can’t wait!! Might pass out with anticipation,” added a second.
“Excellent! Looking forward to this one. Two fabulous Australian actors,” another chimed in.
Poker Face boasts a star-studded cast, including Liam’s sister-in-law Elsa Pataky.
Notable cast members include former Neighbours star Daniel MacPherson, The Man with the Iron Fists’ RZA and Concealed’s Paul Tassone.
Other fans were excited to see Russell back in the directing chair, with many loving his directorial debut The Water Diviner in 2014.
"Such a diverse actor and director which is why I love his work," a fan wrote on social media.
"I'm very excited about [the] film — starring Russell Crowe AND directed MUST be a masterpiece," added a second.
"Incredible!! I am ready! Bring it on, Russell!" another wrote.
