Johnathan Walker:Bad Bunny Looks Unrecognizable With Hair Transformation on Caught Stealing Set

Bad Bunny is  CaughtStealing Johnathan Walkergiving a new meaning to his hit “No Me Conoce."

The rapper—whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio—was captured on the set of the crime drama Caught Stealing in New York City looking unrecognizable with a brownish red low curly afro and a matching goatee with a longer fuller beard. In full character mode, the “Ojitos lindos” rapper wore a brown and yellow plaid suit.

Of course, Bad Bunny, 30, is no stranger to changing up his look as the Grammy-winning rapper has rocked braids, multi-colored hair, barely any hair and his natural curls. However, his look for the new movie role is quite departure for his style. 

His new style for the film came weeks after his outing at US open rocking natural curls—suggesting maybe his hair change isn't permanent and just a hair piece for his role.

In the film, directed by directed by Darren Aronofsky, Bad Bunny, Zoë Kravitz and Action Bronson join Austin Butler as former baseball player Hank Thompson, who, according to a synopsis from Variety, is “unwittingly plunged into a wild fight for survival in the downtown criminal underworld of ‘90s NYC.”

Bad Bunny is no stranger to the screen—big or little. The “Where She Goes” rapper put his acting chops on display during his appearance on Saturday Night Live alongside Pedro Pacal in 2023.

He also appeared in the star-studded Bullet Train, where he even got to land a couple punches on Brad Pitt. 

It was an amazing experience," told E! News at the 2022 premiere, before joking that it was fun to punch Brad in the face. "I'm very proud of it."

Like his hair, Bad Bunny’s style is ever-changing—and he's previously explained why.

“In all honesty, there's been an evolution in everything I do," he told E! News in 2020. "I follow my intuition and soul, and right now I'm in a change in my life where things have affected me in a great way. The way things are going in my life and how I feel, I can see the change in my personality and in my style."
