Olympic champion figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu sported a very different look in filming for his movie debut this May -- a samurai hairstyle of a shaved forehead for his role as a feudal lord.

“Acting was extremely difficult because you have to use words, and move as you speak,” Hanyu said in a press release, according to a Wall Street Journal translation.
