The Avengers legend transformed for his new role in HBO’s The Sympathizer and appeared to have a bigger nose, jowls and a receding hairline.
Dressed dowdy in blue trousers, a pink shirt and brown shoes, he looks worlds away from his days starring as Iron Man in the Marvel franchise.
It’s just the latest in five roles Robert Downey Jr. has signed up to play in his new project based on a 2015 novel by Vietnamese-American professor Viet Thanh Nguyen.

It follows a hunted man known as The Captain – played by actor Hoa Xuande – who is a half-French half-Vietnamese spy exiled in Los Angeles in the final days of the Vietnam War.
Robert takes on five different supporting antagonists in the post-Vietnam war thriller and first shaved his head for one of the roles back in October.
In a video his kids helped him by using a set of electric clippers to transform their famous dad.
“The things we do for our work… and our kids,” wrote Robert in the caption.
He showed off his new look at a special screening of Sr, which is a Netflix documentary about his late father.
Robert flaunted his new look on the red carpet wearing a blue patterned blazer and matching tinted glasses.
