Michael Douglas was the spitting image of Benjamin Franklin as he filmed scenes for new biopic series Franklin in Paris on Wednesday.

The Hollywood icon, 78, looked nearly unrecognizable as he sported long locks and a period costume to film scenes for the series – which depicts the 18th century political philosopher’s story – on the banks of the River Seine.

The Oscar winner, who is married to Catherine Zeta Jones, was joined by The Undoing star Noah Jupe, 17, on set, who plays his grandson and diplomat, William Temple Franklin.

The Fatal Attraction star wore a costume of a homespun-looking coat, vest, and breeches in the scene. 

He bundled up in historically accurate scarves and gloves.

Michael’s wild locks were in keeping with Franklin’s history,  he famously forewent a wig in America, but when visiting Europe, would don a hairpiece. 

Noah sported a similarly styled, but more fitted costume. 

The show by Apple TV+ tells the story of ‘one of the greatest gambles of Benjamin Franklin’s career’.
