The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis clowns around on set in white face paint 

Zach Galifianakis looked unrecognizable while on a West Hollywood film set, sporting white face paint and black markings above his brows.

Looking visibly slimmed down, the 46-year-old wore a black turtleneck, tucked into grey trousers with a brown belt and shoes while filming on Sunday.

The actor, who had his long hair pulled back, rocked his signature bushy beard.

The Hangover star headed to his car to grab a water, chatting with the crew on the way over.

While no word on what the project was, the comedy star recently spent the summer filming Keeping Up With The Joneses in Atlanta, Georgia, with cast mates Jon Hamm and Isla Fisher. 

His shocking weight loss was first revealed in October 2014, while at the Birdman premiere in New York City.

The funny man joked about his svelte frame that same month while talking to WGN: 'Being light is fun. I can go up two flights of steps now, and only need my inhaler twice.'

The star, who didn't crack a smile while walking on set, is best known for playing characters that are awkward and anti-social, as seen in Due Date, What Happens in Vegas and The Campaign.

The comedian married Quinn Lundberg in August 2012, and the couple welcomed their first child, a son, in September 2013.
