Sun, sand and Brad Pitt! Allied filming continues in Gran Canaria as the star dons vintage forties clothing to work on new scenes in the desert

He recently jetted to the Canary Islands to film his new movie Allied. 

But rather than relaxing on the beaches, Brad Pitt found himself in the centre of desert as he worked on dramatic new scenes clad in vintage World War II clothing on Wednesday.

Peering out over the sand dunes, the 52-year-old actor looked almost like a mirage as he was bundled out of his car and trekked across the barren landscape.

Clad in a camel coloured jacket and high-waisted trousers, the Oscar-nominated star nearly blended into the background as he got to work on the upcoming movie. 

Concealing his eyes behind a pair of aviator sunglasses, he finished off his ensemble with a crisp white shirt and military boots. 

Chatting to a member of the crew, the star seemed in good spirits on the day, despite the sweltering heat and bleak landscape.

The A-lister was not joined by his co-star Marian Cotillard on the day - who is believed to play his sibling in the upcoming historic thriller, which is set in 1942. 

Brad also stars alongside Mean Girls actress Lizzy Caplan and Downton Abbey's Matthew Goode in the war drama, directed by Robert Zemeckis. 

The previously untitled film sees Brad's character, Max Vatan, fall in love with French agent Marianne Beausejour (Marion Cotillard) during a mission to kill a German ambassador holed up in Casablanca.
