Tesfaye appears as himself in the drama film. The "Starboy" singer rocked a different look on the red carpet, shaving off most of his usual facial hair and keeping a mustache. His hair also appears longer on the sides.

This isn't the first time Tesfaye has altered his appearance

Back in 2016, he drastically cut his hair prior to the release of his "Starboy" album.

"The vision wasn't there anymore," Tesfaye told Zane Lowe during an interview for Beats 1. "It was there and then just like the music, it was getting really sad. It was the greatest feeling of all time [cutting it off]. It was so good. I could sleep better, I felt lighter, and when I perform, I perform better and feel better, it's cool."

He added: "The best part about all of it, I get to wear f---ing hats again. Wear a f---ing cap and walk into a restaurant and nobody knows  it's you, It's the greatest feeling."
