BAFTA award winning star is unrecognisable in first look at Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove at the Noël Coward Theatre in London


The actor has overhauled his image to star in the theatre adaptation of the iconic 1964 film, playing at the Noël Coward Theatre in London next month.

The household name takes on the titular role as well as three other characters in the production which centres on an unhinged American general who orders a bombing attack on the Soviet Union as Peter Sellers did in the original film. Mr Taylors' lawyers, William Bennett KC and Victoria Jolliffe, argued that their client was presented as being 'dismissive, patronising and misogynistic' towards Ms Langley, who was played by actress Sally Hawkins. But the issue doesn't seem to be troubling the actor who recently confirmed that he would taking on the roll of Mick McCarthy in a new film Sapien which will follow the ex-Ireland manager's furious bust-up with Roy Keane at the 2002 World Cup.
