John Travolta is really leaning into his new film role as an unhinged movie fan who stalks his favorite movie star.

A photo of Travolta in costume for the upcoming movie Moose has been circulating around the internet over the last day, and people are shocked by how the actor looks in his new role. The photo, nabbed by Redditor BunyipPouch, is certainly something.

Look at that haircut. That shirt. Those shorts. That disheveled face and those wire-frame glasses. That hunch. Travolta is really pulling off that crazed stalker look, which you can also see in some behind-the-scenes footage from ET Canada.

The movie Moose is being directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and is about a fan who becomes obsessed with an action movie star, according to Variety, and eventually wants to ruin the celebrity's life. The story is based on Durst's life and his own experience with an overzealous fan-turned-stalker.

If the thriller is half as unsettling as that image of Travolta, then they've got themselves a hit.
