Hugh Jackman has switched up his familiar look that fans have come to know and love him for.
The Deadpool & Wolverine star is no stranger to transformations, however they typically are of the buff, ultra-muscular variety for his role as the beloved X-Men character.
For his latest however he has instead transformed into none other than Neil Diamond (in a way), for a forthcoming movie also starring Kate Hudson.
This week, as the first images of the new film, Song Sung Blue, which will be out in theaters on Christmas, were released, Kate took to Instagram to gush about the project.
She included a photo in which she and Hugh are completely transformed into Mike and Claire Sardina, who were behind a Milwaukee tribute band to the "Sweet Carolina" singer, and the subject of a 2008 documentary on which Song Sung Blue is based on.
In the photo, Hugh appears wearing a black, sequined button-down top, and his hair is styled into a poofy bob reminiscent of the 1970s, while Kate has a similar hairstyle, and is wearing a bedazzled red dress.

"More love notes for everyone involved to come…" she teased, and concluded: "But right now I am just so excited to share with you that we have a release date."

Can't wait for this!!!! It's gonna be sooo GOOD!" and: "This is so cool! Can't wait to see this! I love me some Neil Diamond," as well as: "Ahhhh!! This is amazing!!"

The 2025 movie also features Michael Imperioli, Fisher Stevens, Jim Belushi, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir and Hudson Hilbert Hensley. Both Kate and Hugh have plenty of musical experience; the latter is a beloved Broadway staple, while the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days actress released her debut album last year.
