It comes weeks after the Hollywood hunk was spotted filming in Rome

Paisley-born Butler donned a retro mint suit and flashed his chest in an open-collar shirt.

And in a dramatic change of appearance, the actor ditched his dark locks for a striking silver look.

His latest release is an American-Italian drama film, written and directed by Julian Schnabel.

The film also features a number of Italian actors such as Franco Nero, Paolo Bonacelli, Sabrina Impacciatore, Dora Romano, Claudio Santamaria and Guido Caprino.

The film synopsis reads: “The dark and violent path of a man who plunges into a metaphorical hell until he reaches paradise in search of his forbidden and impossible love.”

Wolf of Wall Street director Martin Scorsese is an executive producer on the crime thriller.

Earlier this year, the PS I Love You star was spotted filming parts of the movie in in Rome.

During the film shoot in the Italian capital, Butler was spotted sporting a brand new look – worlds away from his hunky persona.

The Scots actor was spotted with a blond wig, with inch-long brown roots.

While in character, Butler was wearing a grey suit, a open-collar black shirt and Chelsea boots.

Underneath the black shirt was a white vest, the look was finished off with a gold cross necklace.
