Patrick Stewart is unrecognisable dressed up as a woman

Actor Patrick Stewart was nearly unrecognisable when he showed up in a wig, false lashes and a pink dress for an event to promote season two of Blunt Talk. His co-star Adrian Scarborough also donned drag, wearing a black velvet dress and strawberry blonde locks to the event.

The pair arrived at Hollywood's Lindwood Dunn Theater straight from the season two set of their Starz comedy, reported Variety. "Something is happening in Hollywood tonight," Stewart tweeted before the event, along with a photo of himself getting ready.

Stewart, 75, went all out by donning a statement necklace, black heels, a pair of pantyhose and a silver clutch bag. When asked who Stewart looked like, an audience member shouted "Cate Blanchett." Stewart quickly apologised to the Oscar winner.

After showing off his look, the Star Trek: The Next Generation star got quite the compliment when Twitter users started comparing him to 70-year-old actress Helen Mirren. One tweeted, "@SirPatStew You look like Helen Mirren's older distinguished sister, and I have so many questions", another added, "@SirPatStew channeling Helen Mirren there."
