Famous British actor shooting new show surprises us with their transformation.

Tom Hollander, a well-known British actor, has recently undergone a dramatic transformation for his latest role. The 57-year-old, known for his roles in popular films such as Pride & Prejudice and Pirates of the Caribbean, has completely changed his appearance to play the iconic filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock.

This is not the first time Hollander has worked with renowned director Ryan Murphy, as they previously collaborated on the hit Netflix series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. Now, they are teaming up again for the third season of Murphy's true crime series Monster. The previous seasons focused on infamous criminals like Jeffrey Dahmer and the Mendendez brothers, and this time, they will be delving into the twisted mind of Ed Gein.

Gein, who gained notoriety in the 1950s for exhuming corpses from graveyards and using their bones and skins to create macabre keepsakes, also confessed to the murder of two women. He died in a mental health facility in 1984, leaving behind a legacy that inspired the character of Norman Bates in Hitchcock's iconic film Psycho.

Hollander was recently seen on set in Los Angeles, fully immersed in his role as Hitchcock. He was almost unrecognizable, sporting a rounder figure and a bald cap with only a few wisps of white hair. During breaks, he could be seen filming on his phone and smoking a cigar, fully embracing the persona of the legendary director.

Hollander is not the only star taking on a challenging role in Murphy's Monster series. Laurie Metcalf will play Gein's mother Augusta, while Olivia Williams takes on the role of Hitchcock's wife, Alma Hitchcock. Williams, known for her roles in popular shows like Hanna and The Crown, was seen in a structured black dress and kitten heels, looking every bit the part of a 1950s housewife.

Murphy's previous season of Monster, which focused on the Menendez brothers, received backlash from the brothers themselves. However, the director stands by his portrayal and calls the response from the family "predictable at best". In light of recent developments in the case, with a request for resentencing and the possibility of parole for the brothers, Murphy believes they have paid their debt to society.

In the midst of all the controversy, the team behind Monster continues to work on creating a compelling and thought-provoking series. With its exploration of the public's obsession with true crime and the impact it has on real-life victims and their families, this season is sure to be another hit. And as fans eagerly anticipate the release, the team will continue to work hard, bringing the story of Ed Gein and his twisted crimes to life.
