Arnold Schwarzenegger demonstrates his commitment to change entirely for his craft. The actor looked almost unrecognizable on the streets of New York as he continued filming his role as Santa Claus in his upcoming flick.

The 77-year-old actor has begun filming scenes for the Christmas film The Man With the Bag, in which he plays Santa Claus, sporting a dramatic look with his pristine white beard and brows.

Arnold, who is most known for his famous appearances in action flicks, is returning to the set for his first Christmas-themed production in nearly three decades.On set, the Hollywood icon completely embraced his makeover into Santa Claus, which was a long cry from his action-hero image. For the scene, he wore a white crewneck sweater with a festive pattern of a red pickup truck hauling a Christmas tree in its bed, combined with brown corduroy slacks.

Later, he dressed in a long, brilliant red coat, a look that was absolutely suitable for Kris Kringle, as he spread holiday cheer to the streets of Manhattan.Online, the actor was declared ”totally unrecognizable,” and fans were shocked by the actor’s enormous metamorphosis and eager to see the upcoming film.

One guy just exclaimed, ”It’s Santa!” while another commented, ”I believe he makes an excellent Father Christmas! “The look suits him.” A third admirer said, “Arnie is rocking the white hair and beard…”

We admire Arnold Schwarzenegger for both his talent and his sincerity. Last year, the famous singer openly discussed his 25-year separation from his wife and expressed his apologies, a moment of candor that endeared him to us even more.
