Elijah Wood may have had fans loving him during his starring role as Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, but they aren\u2019t likely to feel the same way about the 42-year-old actor in his newest role.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In new photos from the set of The Toxic Avenger remake released by Entertainment Weekly, Wood is unrecognizable as he transforms into the character of Fritz Garbinger.<\/p>\n
In the images, Wood, who is known for his youthful appearance, brown hair and blue eyes, is a completely different person.<\/p>\n
As Garbinger, he sports blackened teeth and panda-like eyes that are ringed with dark circles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He also has a mostly bald head, though some long black strands do protrude from both the top and sides of his head.<\/p>\n
