Cricket legend David Warner put down his bat and grabbed a gun on a helipad in Melbourne while filming an action scene on the Yarra River.
The semi-retired athlete, 37, looked like an action movie villain on Tuesday as he sported fake tattoos on his neck and hands while brandishing the gold prop gun.
Jumping out of a bright red helicopter, the batsman could be seen enjoying a large lollipop in character while wearing a stylish white ensemble.
He terrorized the men in suits and machine guns surrounding him on the floating dock by pretending to shoot one of them with his lollipop.
David then escalated the altercation by pulling out his gold-plated pistol and pointing it at one of the men, who threw his head back as if he had been shot.
The former Test vice-captain was all smiles between takes as he appeared to relish his new larger-than-life role.
David did several takes of the scene, getting in and out of the helicopter before pretending to shoot one of the men in suits.
The project she is filming has not yet been announced, but it is believed to be for Bollywood, as she recently worked for an Indian advertising company.

Earlier this year, she unleashed her inner Bollywood superstar in a hilarious ad for fintech company CRED’s Unified Payments Interface for its payment transfer app.
In the commercial, David is seen talking on the phone to a film director who asks the big sports star if he can get a discount on some game tickets.
“If you have CRED UPI you can get cashback. But if you only have regular UPI, you’ll have to do me a favor to get a discount,” David tells him.

We then see David dressed as a medieval warrior about to go into battle and, in a fun twist, he is holding a cricket bat in his hands instead of a sword.
Unfortunately, Warner doesn’t seem suited to the role, as he accidentally breaks some objects while tripping on set.
