Orlando Bloom cuts a dapper figure

There is already much buzz surrounding eight-episode fantasy-noir series, Carnival Row, despite the fact it won't be released until 2019.

And Orlando Bloom looked virtually unrecognisable as he got to work on an extremely gory scene in Prague, Czech Republic, on Friday.

Throwing himself into the action, the 41-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star donned a dapper look in a bowler hat and vintage suit, while sporting a goatee he grew for the part. 

As the cameras roll, what seems to be a very bloody, dead body was removed from the set, while Orlando, who plays a detective in the programme, investigated the scene.

Cast members were also captured milling around the muddy scenery as the Lord of the Rings star spoke to an actor dressed in police gear.

No doubt hard at work, Orlando couldn't resist stealing a moment to himself in between takes when wrapping up warm in a glaringly modern puffer jacket.  

The eight-episode series, directed by Paul McGuigan, is believed to be set in a neo-Victorian city where mythical creatures have gathered. 

Orlando plays a human detective named Rycroft Philostrate, who's investigating a series of murders that take place on Carnival Row.

'Like Cara (Delevingne), I was drawn to playing this interesting, dark character that inhabits this world, he said in an interview with The Express, 'The world of Carnival Row is like nothing I’ve ever read before.'
