Hollywood legend Sophia Loren has been pictured looking very different from how she usually does while acting in a new film.
The 84-year-old actress is confined to a wheelchair for her part in the film, whose Italian title is The Life Before Us.
In a crimson dress with a gold floral pattern and a red shawl or huge scarf covering it, she was seen filming in Bari, Italy. She hardly resembled herself, her hair messy.
Huge audiences gathered to see the celebrity in action in the new movie, which is being directed by her son Edoardo Ponti.
In the Romain Gary novel-to-film adaptation, Loren plays a woman who looks after prostitutes’ kids.
She will reportedly also film sequences over the next month at the Pane e Pomodoro beach and on the San Nicola pier, with production anticipated to wrap up in August.
