You could be forgiven for thinking you were seeing double.
But the uncanny resemblance was a much-needed feature as Hollywood hunk Glen Powell was joined by his stunt double as they filmed a new sci-fi fantasy on the streets of Glasgow.
The 36-year-old American was seen warming up for the scenes for Ghostwriter, a fantasy adventure currently being filmed in Scotland that also stars Samuel L Jackson.
He was seen doing intense exercises in front of bemused cast and crew before his stunt double was spotted hanging off a bus as he pursued a girl.
Powell was on set with director J.J. Abrams, who is behind films like Cloverfield and the more recent Star Wars films, with the city thought to be doubling up as a futuristic New York.
Filming started in Glasgow on Saturday after other scenes were shot in London on April 26.
Streets have been transformed to create the fictitious setting, including unusual signage, faux brick walls and a makeshift subway entrance all being spotted.

As well as Powell and Jackson, the movie is due star Jenna Ortega – best known for playing Wednesday Adams in the Netflix TV show named after the character.
Produced by Warner Bros, the film marks Abrams’ first project since Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker in 2019.
Powell will be familiar with the city, having filmed scenes in Glashgow for Edgar Wright’s reboot of 1987 action flick The Running Man.
Like the current filming, a number of sites in the city were used to emulate the streets of New York, with scenes shot across the city centre, the West End and the SEC Armadillo.
