JOSH Hartnett has made a rare red carpet appearance in Italy and the actor looks unrecognizable.

He is best known for his roles in films such as Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor, and Halloween H20: 20 Years Later.

Now, the star has resurfaced and to any fans who haven't been keeping up with Josh, you might not even recognize him.

Josh made several appearances at the Filming Italy 2022 on June 12.

He is serving as president of the jury for the TV and film festival.

The now 43-year-old walked the red carpet in a green and pink floral print shirt.

The day before his wife, Tamsin Egerton, joined him on the red carpet.

The pair quietly wed in November 2021.

LISTENING TO HIS HART

Josh and Tamsin first became an item after meeting on the set of the straight-to-DVD film The Lovers, which was later named Time Traveller, and now live in rural Dorset.

A close pal said of the nuptials: “They’re as smitten as ever and wanted to make it official in a low-key affair. It was a classy ceremony with only a handful of close family and friends.

"They're really happy living a low-key life away from showbiz parties and red carpets so they are happy to fly under the radar.”

STEPPING AWAY

After a successful run in Hollywood from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s, Josh became reclusive and decided to step away from the spotlight.

Back in December 2021, he made an appearance on Australia's Channel Seven morning news program Sunrise to talk about his decision.

He told the news program that it was "the best thing" for his mental health and career.

Josh then spoke to The Daily Mail about stepping away from the bright lights.

"Luckily, I think I hit onto it early on. It's about creating a good home life and being able to do things that are wild and wonderful like making films, which is such a privilege," he said.

However, in that interview, Josh revealed that he did have one regret.

He regretted that he declined the role of Ennis Del Mar in the 2005 film Brokeback Mountain due to a scheduling conflict.
