Pierce Brosnan's new look is making us do a double take. 

The Die Another Day actor was recently spotted in full costume for the new Terry Loane-directed film The Last Rifleman, in which he stars as 89-year-old World War Veteran II Artie Crawford, alongside Louis Gossett Jr. and Jürgen Prochnow.

Pierce sported a balding gray wig with matching eyebrows as he walked the streets of Antrim, Northern Ireland, using a wooden cane. He also wore a dark three-piece suit that featured various war medals.

In several photos, Pierce waved to fans who gathered around to get a glimpse of the actor on set as the Irish town transformed into a French village.

In The Last Rifleman—which is based on a true story—Artie escapes from his care home in Northern Ireland after losing his wife and embarks on a difficult journey to France to attend the anniversary of the D-Day landings on June 6, 2014.

Kevin Fitzpatrick, who wrote the film, said Artie's courageous "journey caught the nation's attention and highlighted the spirit that epitomized the Second World War generation. I was enthralled by this story and the motives that drive a man near the end of his life on a quest to a place that must hold only painful memories."

The Last Rifleman is slated to be released in theaters next year.
