A legendary TV and theater star looked completely unrecognizable as she attended the London premiere of The Death of Bunny Munro at The Royal Festival Hall on Thursday.
The 72-year-old British actor, who has had many notable roles throughout his extensive career in theatre, film and television, looked very different from his usual self as he arrived on the red carpet with a long gray beard.
The star wore a navy blue textured blazer, an off-white scarf and a white T-shirt for the outing.
She completed her look with gray cargo pants and a pair of comfortable black shoes.
The star looked in good spirits as she posed for photographers ahead of the star-studded event.
But do you know him?
A legendary TV and theater star looked completely unrecognizable as she attended the London premiere of The Death of Bunny Munro at The Royal Festival Hall on Thursday.
The 72-year-old British actor, who has had many major roles throughout his extensive career in theatre, film and television, looked a world away from his usual self when he arrived on the red carpet – but do you recognize him?
That’s right, it’s David Threlfall!
The actor, best known for playing Frank Gallagher in Channel 4’s iconic series Shameless, will play senior Bunny Munro in the upcoming Sky Atlantic series.
He plays the father of main character Bunny Munro, played by Doctor Who star Matt Smith.
The Death of Munro the Rabbit is a six-part television series produced by Cykenwell Films for Sky Atlantic.
The film, which is an adaptation of Nick Cave’s 2009 novel of the same name, stars Matt and Rafael Mathé in the leading roles. Smith and Cave also serve as executive producers.
The series synopsis is as follows: ‘Following the death by suicide of his wife Libby, sex addict, door-to-door beauty salesman and self-described womanizer Bunny Munro finds himself faced with a teenage son and only a lax concept of parenting.
‘As Bunny embarks on an epic and increasingly out of control journey across Southern England with Junior, the two struggle to contain their pain in very different ways.’
David is best known for playing the drunken patriarch of the Gallagher family in Channel 4’s gritty drama Shameless, which ran for 11 series from 2004 to 2013.

The TV series, which focuses on single father Frank and his several children on Manchester’s Chatsworth council estate, launched the careers of stars including James McAvoy, Anne-Marie Duff and Maxine Peake.
The series, which also starred Rebecca Atkinson, Elliot Tittensor and Tina Malone, inspired a popular remake in the US.
Hollywood actor William H. Macy, as well as Emmy Rossum and Amy Smart, also starred in the American version of the film, which was a transatlantic success.
Far from Shameless, David has also appeared in popular TV series such as Funny Woman, Ricky Gervais’ black comedy After Life, Troy, the Charles Dickens adaptation Dodger, and the drama series Code of a Killer.
He also starred on the big screen alongside Jude Law in films such as Nowhere Boy, Hot Fuzz and Black Sea.
The Death of Munro the Rabbit will be released on Sky on November 20.
