Hugh Grant has been seen for the first time as Frosties mascot Tony the Tiger in the trailer for Jerry Seinfeld's new comedy film about the origin story of the pop tart.
The Notting Hill actor, 63, stars in the upcoming flick, called Unfrosted, as a struggling Shakespearean actor who plays the Frosties character.
The Netflix movie stars comedy greats Jerry Seinfeld, Amy Schumer and Melissa McCarthy with a smaller role from Hugh Grant.
It tells the story of the battle between cereal giant Kellogg's and Post to create a breakfast pastry in the 1960s - resulting in the pop tart.
Tony the Tiger is Grant's second strange role in a matter of months after he starred in Wonka as an Oompa Loopma.

In the trailer, one clip shows Grant in the fluffy Tony costume with the head removed, while in another he looks extremely unamused while wearing a grey suit and bright yellow shirt.
The actor has previously said that he is now drawn to 'weirder and weirder' as he enters the 'freak phase' of his 40-year career.
The first trailer for the highly anticipated flick dropped on Thursday.
Seinfeld is not only starring in the film, but he also wrote, directed and produced it.
Also on the writing team were Spike Feresten and Barry Marder. The script was inspired by a joke Jerry later deconstructed in a piece for The New York Times.
The film will be released on Netflix on May 3.
