Mark Owen looks unrecognisable as Take That appear at Cannes Film Festival

Take That 's Mark Owen looked completely unrecognisable as he made an appearance at this week's Cannes Film Festival.

The pop legend, 50, attended the star-studded event alongside his bandmates Gary Barlow and Howard Donald.

Gary and Howard were looking pretty much as we remember them, but Mark looked totally different when he arrived at the glitzy event.

He shocked fans as he rocked up to one of film's most-anticipated events modelling a little moustache and wearing a big pair of white sunnies.

The singer was seen posing for photographs alongside his bandmates, as he wore striking white trousers, a pastel blue blazer and his long locks were seen floating behind him in the breeze.

But this week isn't the first time fans have seen Mark's new tash, as he debuted it when he performed at a virtual concert earlier this month.

Back then it didn't get half as much attention as people have now started comparing the star to a former favourite X Factor contestant, with one fan tweeting: "When did Wagner join Take That?"

Even though the band are not the first guests you'd expect to see at Cannes, they actually made an appearance to help promote the new Take That movie, Greatest Days.

It's reported the film is set to tell the story of a young boyband inspired by the 90s singing sensations.

The plot is set to be based around newcomers Aaron Bryan, Dalvin Cory, Joshua Jung, Mark Samaras and Mervin Noronha, and has been inspired by the musical about Take That - The Band.

Much to fans delight it's believed the movie will feature some of the band's greatest hits.

Deadline has reported that the plot will follow the lives of five best friends who have the best night of their lives at a gig hosted by their favourite band.

Then - 25 years later - it's thought they will meet up to look back and reflect on their youth.

Since arriving Take That have been mingling with Hollywood stars such as Tom Cruise, who travelled from the UK to promote Top Gun: Maverick.

The actor, 59, has been spotted with co-star Jennifer Connelly who wore an elegant blue suit paired with a white shirt.

Jennifer, 51, takes on the role of Penny Benjamin in the highly-anticipated film.
