Russell Crowe is known for throwing himself into his roles, and his latest film is no different. 

The 48-year-old is playing Noah in the latest big screen adaptation of one of the Bibles greatest stories - and he's certainly at pains to make his character's journey on the famed Ark as realistic as possible.

The actor sported a full grey beard and bushy wig as he was spotted on the set of the eagerly awaited Biblical blockbuster Noah.

 

He had previously been seen on set with a shaved head, but it looks like we've caught Russell filming on one of Noah's latter days on the Ark.

Crowe is playing the titular hero in Darren Aronofsky's forthcoming epic, which tells the story of Noah's divine mission to build an Ark to save every species on animal before the earth is flooded. 

The epic movie, which is reported to have a budget of £78 million, boasts a star studded cast, which includes Ray Winstone, Emma Watson and Crowe's A Beautiful Mind co-star Jennifer Connelly.
