Actor David Duchovny looked unrecognisable as he stepped out in a sequin skirt and a blond wig for a forthcoming movie.

The iconic ’90s TV star turned heads while on the set of the Andrew Jay Cohen-directed film Soapbox in Los Angeles last week.

He also wore a black semi-sheer blouse, tights and bright red lipstick.

Duchovny, 65, accessorised his cheeky look with sunglasses and Gray slippers.

At one point, he was seen chatting with the production crew in between takes.

The actor appeared chipper as he walked around sans the wig.

Duchovny stars as an ageing soap opera star — opposite actress Laverne Cox — in the satirical comedy revolving around modern-day culture wars.

He is also listed as a co-writer alongside Max Barbakow.

It’s not the first time Duchovny has dressed as a woman for a role: He played a transgender character named Denise in Twin Peaks back in 1991, resurrecting the role for the show’s 2017 revival.

The role is different from many of his other usual characters, including Fox Mulder in The X Files.

Duchovny starred as an FBI agent alongside icon Gillian Anderson (who played Dana Scully) in the 11-season TV series, which ran from 1993 to 2018.

He also appeared as Hank Moody in the series Californication from 2007 to 2014.

The producer’s most recent role was in the Jay Duplass-directed film See You When I See You, released in January.

Duchovny is married to Monique Pendleberry, whom he wed last year.

The star was previously married to Téa Leoni from 1997 to 2014.

The exes are the parents of daughter Madelaine West, 26, and son Kyd, 23.
