Matt Smith Unrecognisable With Colourful Mohawk While Filming With Austin Butler in N.Y.C.

Matt Smith has recently captured attention on the set of the upcoming film ‘Caught Stealing’, sporting a striking multi-coloured mohawk alongside co-star Austin Butler in New York City. The transformation is a significant departure from Smith's usual look, as he embodies a punk-inspired character in this highly anticipated project directed by Darren Aronofsky. 

The visual aesthetic of the film is rooted in the vibrant and gritty culture of 1990s New York, setting the stage for an intriguing storyline. In contrast to Smith’s bold punk attire, which features a black leather jacket, plaid pants, and boots, Austin Butler opted for a more understated ensemble, sporting a blue button-down shirt and jeans.

However, Butler added a dramatic flair to his look with what appeared to be fake blood smeared across his neck, hinting at the film's intense action sequences. The dynamic between the two actors promises to bring excitement to the film, as they navigate their respective roles within this gritty narrative.

‘Catching Stealing’ draws inspiration from the 2005 novel of the same name by Charlie Huston, who has taken on the challenge of adapting his own work for the big screen. The plot centres around Hank Thompson, a disillusioned former baseball player who finds himself entangled in a perilous struggle for survival within the criminal underbelly of 1990s New York City. 

This setting allows for rich character development and exploration of themes surrounding desperation and resilience. Smith's addition to the cast, which also includes notable names like Liev Schreiber, Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, and Bad Bunny, adds significant star power to the film. 

As production continues, fans eagerly await the opportunity to see how these talented actors bring their characters to life in this thrilling adaptation. With its unique premise and strong cast, ‘Caught Stealing’ is poised to be a standout film in contemporary cinema.
