Paul Bettany is Bald

Paul Bettany shows off his newly shorn look while chatting on his cell phone in the Meatpacking District of New York City on Wednesday.

The 37-year-old British actor is bald for his upcoming role in Creation, in which he plays the father of evolutionary theory, Charles Darwin. In the film, Paul‘s real-life wife Jennifer Connelly will play Emma Darwin, the wife (and cousin) of Charles. Emma was also the mother of their ten children.

The first pictures of Paul in character surfaced back in October.
