Johnny Depp’s “Black Mass” co-actor Joel Edgerton, 41, looked like Detroit rapper Eminem when he attended the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 13, Saturday. The actor plays Richard Loving in the biopic which stars Depp as Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger.

At the TIFF 2015, Edgerton posed for photographers in his new blond buzz cut, according to Daily Mail. With a drastic change in his look, the actor known for his roles in the 2013 film “The Great Gatsby” and the 2014 film “Exodus: Gods and Kings” bore an uncanny resemblance to Eminem.

In “The Great Gatsby,” Edgerton had a black hair and moustache as he played Tom Buchanan while in “ Exodus: Gods and Kings,” he was bald with no moustache as he played Ramses. These two looks are very different from Eminem’s.

On Sept. 15, Tuesday, “Black Mass” got its first screening in Massachusetts and cast members greeted fans and the media before the private screening. Depp told CBS Local that he tried to contact Bulger through his attorney J.W. Carney, and about a week later, he got a response that said the attorney respectfully declines.

“Anybody and everybody especially the families of the victims can say he’s just an evil person,” Depp said of his “Black Mass” role.

Edgerton’s “Black Mass” character, a white man, was jailed in 1967 after marrying his African American wife Mildred Loving. The couple had been sentenced to a year in prison because their marriage was deemed a violation of the anti-miscegenation statute in Virginia, which was eventually invalidated by the United States Supreme Court.

Aside from Depp and Edgerton, “Black Mass” also stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Dakota Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Peter Sarsgaard, Jesse Plemons, Rory Cochrane, David Harbour, Adam Scott, Corey Stoll and Julianne Nicholson, among others. The film is set to hit theatres on Sept. 17 in Australia and on Sept. 18 in the United States.
