I don't really know where to begin. We've definitely got some pretty intense blue contacts going on, and the less said about the wig, the better.
Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin / Getty ImagesAs you'd expect, it hasn't taken long for the striking pics to gain a lot of traction online, and it seems like people are as baffled/terrified as me.
Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Images"This is the first time anyone has ever looked like this," reads one X post with over 25,000 likes, while another user replied: "Omg someone rip those blue contacts out of his eyes."

@kiscicaslany / Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Images / Viax.comOver on Reddit, the reactions are making me laugh even harder — specifically this one comment that said Pete's "eerie" appearance makes him look "like those pictures of dogs who just ate a bee." (I don't quite get it, but I also understand.)

Reddit / Ok-Grape-9274 / Viareddit.comBefore we all start panicking, I think we can confidently say that Pete's "nightmare look" isn't here to stay. These photos were taken on the set of an upcoming movie, in which Pete is playing the notorious mafia killer Tommy Pitera, who was known as Tommy Karate. This was him on set yesterday with those blue contacts in again.
Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin / Getty ImagesPete is serving as a producer and co-writer on the film, and in March, he described the project as a "dream job." "Tommy Karate is the greatest mob story never told," he told Deadline. "I’ve been working on this for over three years, and I’m beyond thrilled that it’s finally in motion... We have a great team behind this one, and I can’t wait for people to see what we’ve come up with."
Gonzalo Marroquin / Getty ImagesWell, Pete, you've already got people talking. That's for sure!
