Christian Bale has undergone a dramatic transformation to play the late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis in the upcoming John Madden biopic, and the results are stunning.
The 51-year-old actor was spotted on the Atlanta set of the film, sporting a receding hairline wig with bleached eyebrows, a white v-neck shirt, leather jacket, black slacks, and dress shoes. The look was completed with a series of championship rings.

Bale joins an all-star cast, including Nicholas Cage as John Madden, John Mulaney as Trip Hawkins, Kathryn Hahn as Virginia Madden, and Sienna Miller as Carol Davis. The film will chronicle Madden's remarkable journey, from his Super Bowl-winning partnership with Al Davis and the Raiders to creating Madden NFL and becoming one of the most iconic voices in football history.
Director David O. Russell, who previously worked with Bale on The Fighter and American Hustle, is at the helm of the project. Amazon MGM Studios has not announced a release date for the film yet.
