Tom Hiddleston stunned onlookers at the world premiere of Early Man as he ditched his previously clean-shaven image in favour of a rugged new look.

The Night Manager actor looked unrecognisable as he showed off his beard and wild curly hair on the red carpet on Sunday night.

Hiddleston, 36, attended the screening of Nick Park's new film at the BFI Imax, joined by co-stars Eddie Redmayne and Maisie Williams.

In the animated film, Hiddleston’s character Lord Nooth finds himself locked in battle with Redmayne’s Dug.

Caveman Dug must rally his troops to fight against Lord Nooth to save his home from the villain and his Bronze Age City.

The prehistoric movie was penned by Wallace and Gromit creator Park and will be released in cinemas later this month.

Other names in the cast include Harry Potter star Timothy Spall and comedian Rob Brydon, as well as Richard Ayoade and creator Park himself.
