Amid the filming of ‘The Wizard of the Kremlin,’ the Hollywood actor’s first images as Vladimir Putin have surfaced, leaving fans stunned by his exceptional transformation for the upcoming title.

The Hollywood actor was spotted dressed as the Russian president, with hair and make-up to mimic Putin’s image.

Jude Law was seen wearing a tailored suit and chatting to another member of the cast.

‘The Wizard of the Kremlin’ is based on the novel of the same name by Giuliano da Empoli.

Set in the 1990s, the political thriller will follow Vadim Baranov, who becomes an advisor to Vladimir Putin before he becomes Russia’s president.

In an earlier interview, Jude Law discussed his role in the upcoming film while admitting that he was ‘hesitant’ to talk about the project.

“I say that hesitatingly because I haven’t really started work on it yet. I mean, I have, but at the moment it looks like an Everest to climb, so I’m in the foothills looking up thinking, ‘Oh Christ, what have I said?’ That’s often how I feel whilst I say yes,” the Hollywood actor said in an interview with a US media outlet.
