Ethan Hawke, 42, showed off his newly-dyed white blonde hair for the first time as he appeared at the "Opening Night Party" for the New Group World Premiere production of "Clive" at the West Bank Cafe in New York on Thursday night. Ethan looked barely recognisable and channelled Billy Idol as he posed up at the event, with his blonde hair spiked up with gel.
Hawke completed his grungy look by wearing a slick of black eyeliner, adding to his eccentric appearance.
Speaking about the change in his image, Ethan revealed to the New York Times: "I didn't want to feel like me when I did this role".
"I'm trying to do that old-school, third-person thing by unlocking something as utterly superficial as my hair," Hawke continued.
The production, written by Jonathan Marc Sherman, tells the tale of lavish rocker on the decline. Charting the songwriter's life from his hedonistic heights of seduction and consumption into an ecstasy of self-destruction, the show was inspired by Bertolt Brecht's 1923 play "Baal."
It has to be noted that the play is set in New York City and features music by Gaines and costume design by Catherine Zuber. Other actors in "Clive" include Stephanie Janssen, Mahira Kakkar, Aaron Krohn and Dana Lyn.
