HUGH JACKMAN GOES UNRECOGNIZABLE IN 'DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD'
The glam gets stripped away! Hair and costume designers reveal how they transformed the A-lister into a grittier, darker version of the legendary outlaw.
Forget the swashbuckling pretty-boy Robin Hood you know — Hugh Jackman is going ROUGH for Michael Sarnoski's "The Death of Robin Hood." According to Variety, the artisans behind the film, including hair designer Sean Flanigan and costume designer Lorna Mugan, made it their mission to render the superstar basically unrecognizable on screen.
Sarnoski, fresh off "Pig" and "A Quiet Place: Day One," is taking the legendary outlaw in a much darker, grittier direction than typical Robin Hood fare. Translation: this ain't your grandma's forest adventure! The creative team wanted to strip away everything glamorous and lean hard into the brutal, rough-around-the-edges vision for the character.
It's the kind of total transformation that makes you sit up and say "Wait, is that really Jackman?" — which, honestly, sounds like exactly what Sarnoski and his crew were going for. Nothing says "serious prestige project" like making a major movie star practically vanish into their role!
