Israeli TV presenter and actor Oded Menashe has undergone a dramatic transformation for his role in a new film, appearing in a Hasidic guise complete with a long beard, sidelocks, and a shtreimel hat. His wife, TV presenter Eden Harel, shared a surprising video of Menashe in costume on her Instagram account on Sunday, noting that even long-time fans might struggle to recognize him. The couple is currently working on a new film together, and Menashe's appearance is part of his character.
This is not the first time Harel has showcased her husband's Hasidic look from the film set. Last week, she posted another video from the filming, playfully asking Menashe why he looked that way. He responded humorously to the heavy makeup, complaining that the beard made his face freeze and prevented him from smiling or expressing joy.
Harel recently spoke on her podcast, "Dibburim Migan Eden," about the challenges she faces years after her religious return. She discussed the difficulties of maintaining modesty in summer weather, stating, "Honestly, wearing long clothes in the summer is very challenging." She also admitted to being self-critical about her spiritual progress, feeling she is "never enough."
