Can you guess who the actor is?

It is Ben Foster!
The 43-year-old actor looked completely different with a blonde combover while completely clean-shaven on set of the untitled biopic.
Sydney, 26, will portray boxer Christy Martin in the film which is directed by David Michôd. It remains unclear who Ben will be playing in the biopic.
Known as ‘The Coal Miner’s Daughter’ thanks to her father’s job, Christy, 56, originally from West Virginia, is credited with putting women’s boxing on the map after taking on Deirdre Gogarty in front of a sell-out crowd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in 1996.
She graced the cover of Sports Illustrated, appeared on talk shows and even made guest appearances on US sitcoms.
Yet her life away from the cameras was anything but glamorous. Christy has spoken to the Daily Telegraph about how she spent 20 years suffering abuse at the hands of her husband, James ‘Jim’ Martin, who was also her trainer.
On November 23, 2010, he stabbed Christy stabbed several times and shot her at least once in her torso, leaving her for dead.
The attack reportedly occurred after an argument at home – Christy survived the assault.
In June 2012 Jim was sentenced to 25 years in prison after being found guilty of attempted second-degree murder and manslaughter.

Christy now works as a promoter and has been married to Lisa Holewyne, a fellow former boxer who she used to meet in the ring, since 2017, after coming out as a lesbian in the wake of her marriage ending.
Meanwhile Ben has been married to That ’70s Show star Laura Prepon since June 2018.
Ben and Laura were first romantically linked in 2016, and became engaged later that same year. In 2017, their first child, daughter Ella, was welcomed to the world.
The following year, the talented actors officially said, ‘I do,’ and later welcomed their son in 2020. Their son’s name has yet to be revealed to the public, and the Hollywood couple tend to lead a rather private lifestyle despite their work.
Ben began his acting career as a teenager as he starred in 1996 Disney Channel series Flash Forward.
His first notable role on the big screen was in 1999 Barry Levinson film Liberty Heights.
In 2002 he was featured in an all-star comedy cast including Tim Allen, Sofia Vergara, Stanley Tucci, Johnny Knoxville, Janeane Garofalo, Zooey Deschanel, and Rene Russo in Big Trouble.
