Peter Andre has a SHOCKING new look as he plays a heroin addict in new movie (PHOTOS)
PETER ANDRE has clearly got the acting bug - and he looks a million miles away from his usual showbiz self in pictures from his new movie.
Peter Andre stars in The Inheritance, his first movie
The popstar and reality TV regular will play a heroin addict in short film The Inheritance.
The project has been filming in Los Angeles and sees the Mysterious Girl hitmaker playing Harry - complete with a lip-ring and dishevelled hair.
He can be seen on the floor of a trashed room in one scene, while in another he gets very close to a female co-star.
"Although it can be full-on, I can honestly say shooting was an incredible experience," he wrote in his magazine column for New.
It's a very different look for the star
The short film is a change of pace

"It was intense and very dark. I can't wait to see the edit.
"Becoming the character took months of preparing and thankfully it paid off. I'll be going back later in the year to film more.”
Andre is best known as a singer, and he released his most recent album White Christmas back in 2015, just two weeks after his previous collection Come Fly With Me.
The star has three number one singles to his name - Flava, I Feel You and Mysterious Girl - and even released a record with then-spouse Katie Price back in 2006.

Price, incidentally, has also tried out acting: she had a cameo in a Sharknado movie last year.
Andre has recently taken part in An Evening With Peter Andre, an “unscripted” theatre event where he discusses his life with a gathered audience.
The Inheritance does not currently have a release date.
