Theo James looks barely recognisable on set of upcoming heist thriller as White Lotus star is pictured alongside fellow actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson while filming scenes in the UK

Even eagle-eyed readers might struggle to recognise Theo James with his clothes on.

Our exclusive photos show the White Lotus star – who earlier this year set fans’ hearts racing when he was filmed in a pair of snug-fitting white trunks for a Dolce & Gabbana advert – well covered up as he shares a joke with fellow actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Admirers of James may also be less than impressed with his new hairstyle – namely an Eighties-style mullet.

For his part, Kick-Ass star Taylor-Johnson – who has been tipped as the next James Bond – takes the opportunity to show off his bare torso for the cameras.

The pair were on location in Wrotham, Kent, where they have been shooting scenes for the forthcoming heist thriller Fuze.

According to the synopsis, the film ‘opens on the discovery of an unexploded Second World War bomb in a London construction site, sparking a mass evacuation – the perfect cover for a heist’.

Director David Mackenzie, whose previous credits include Hell Or High Water, starring Chris Pine and Jeff Bridges, said of Fuze that ‘tension is one of the purest emotions that cinema can create’.

He added: ‘I had the idea of combining all the high stakes of an unexploded bomb with that of a bank robbery – clashing these two genres to create as much pressure as possible – in a context that feels as real as possible.’

The film also stars Sam Worthington, a regular in James Cameron’s Avatar franchise.
