Bronson went for a casual look as he stepped out in a earlier this week.
He showed off his silver tresses and dark moustache - looking miles away from his role in the cop movies.
The actor starred alongside Hollywood legend Eddie Murphy, as he helps Detroit cop Axel investigate the murder of his best friend.
Bronson reprised his role for the third instalment, where Axel returns to Beverly Hills after his boss is murdered and discovers evidence linking the killer to a California amusement park called Wonder World.
The Serge star then returned for one more appearance in the 2024 reboot, where Axel takes on another investigation after his daughter's life is threatened.
Bronson is also known for his role as Balki Bartokomous, on the 1980s sitcom Perfect Strangers and 1997 series Step By Step.

He also starred as Principal Hawthorne on Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and most recently a recurring role in Neflix series The Residence.
In 2021, Bronson showcased his new slimmed-down figure after losing 60 pounds during the pandemic.
He shared that it took him just six months to lose the weight.
Bronson told Page Six the desire to embark on a health journey came after seeing a photo of himself he didn't like.
He stumbled upon a picture of himself from his time competing on Battle of the Network Stars in 2017, which saw actors going up against each other in various athletic games.
'There was an old fat guy,' he recalled of what he thought upond seeing the photo.
This turning point came just a couple of months into lockdown, and he decided in May 2020 to make a change and work on his health and fitness.
In just six months, he dropped 60 pounds.
He credited a lot of healthy eating for helping him shed teh weight.
After getting rid of all the junk food at his home, he explained: 'Then I just put healthy food in the house and I said, 'OK, puppy, you can have whatever's there.''
He then shared before-and-after photos of himself, featuring a photo of him in a cobalt blue long-sleeve and shorts combo on Battle of the Network Sttars and present-day one of him in a T-shirt and shorts.
He captioned the update post: 'Me. Before self-designed healthy plant-based eating program & 20 seconds ago.'
The actor added to fans on Instagram of what led him to get healthier: 'I looked at myself shortly after my 61st birthday in May and was truly appalled at where I had let my bad habits & pandemic stress lead me.'
He said he now feels 'light, flexible, healthy, hydrated & confident.'

Craig Robinson - otherwise known as Darryl Philbin on The Office - says he's hanging up his comedy boots and moving on. The Chicago native posted a video on social media and teased fans with the announcement. He wrote alongside it: "Life update: I'm officially quitting comedy to focus on my true calling. Stay tuned. I'm working on something huge." In the video, he said: "Hey everybody. Just want you to hear it from me. I am quitting comedy, but not for nothing. 'It's been an amazing run, and y'all been amazing and wonderful. 'But I'm following something bigger. So, you know, thank you so much. I love you, and stay tuned.' He added in a second video: "Turns out having a dream and building a business with your friends are two VERY different things.

Netflix axe two shows with big name stars after just one season in shock cull
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NETFLIX axes two star-studded shows after just one season in shock streaming shake-up. The streaming giant has pulled the plug on two big-budget series featuring A-list talent - leaving fans stunned as the shows are binned after just one season. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Medical drama Pulse has been axed - with the cast are scrambling for new roles Credit: �2025 Netflix, Inc. 3 The comedic murder mystery The Residence has been axed having also suffered from unfortunate timing Credit: ERIN SIMKIN/NETFLIX Medical pot‑boiler Pulse, led by Willa Fitzgerald and Colin Woodell, was secretly pronounced dead more than a month ago - with the cast already hunting new gigs. It arrived last in a stampede of five newbie hospital shows. While rivals Doc, Brilliant Minds, The Pitt and Watson were renewing scripts, Pulse landed on the very day Noah Wyle's smash‑hit The Pitt dropped its penultimate episode - and viewers barely noticed. Plus, a heavy sexual‑harassment storyline hardly screamed 'escapist telly' for viewers seeking cosy soap thrills. more on netflix STREAM ON Netflix is adding an ad-free live channel for 700 million users at no extra cost And now, comedy whodunnit The Residence – boasting Uzo Aduba, Giancarlo Esposito and Randall Park – was shown the door this week. It hit the platform just seven days after coming‑of‑age juggernaut Adolescence exploded, hogging every Top 10 spot and stealing social media thunder. Netflix forked out for a jaw‑dropping White House replica spread over seven sound stages – 200 working doors, 10 miles of moulding, 144,000 lbs of flooring – but the lavish set couldn't save it from the budget crunch. Even the Shondaland badge (the team behind Bridgerton) and Aduba's award‑winning sleuth Cordelia Cupp couldn't guarantee a second case file. Despite the axe, both shows did rack up solid early numbers and managed four weeks apiece in the global Top 10. The Residence peaked at No.2 on Netflix's global Top 10 with 8.8 million views. Netflix teen drama slammed over steamy sex scenes as fans accuse bosses of 'fetishising young cast' While Pulse wasn't far behind - hitting No.3 with 8.5 million views. But even those figures weren't enough to save them - especially with the likes of the romantic hit Ransom Canyon (9.4 million) and nowhere near the viral might of Adolescence (141.2 million). Glitzy casts and mega sets couldn't stop Netflix from cutting them loose. In the streamer's high‑stakes game of renewals, even A‑listers can be a single-series wonder. It's a brutal game in the land of streaming - and even millions of views don't guarantee a second shot.
