Tom Ellislooks very unlike himself on the set ofLuciferthis mid-December afternoon.
He’s actually portraying Lucifer’s twin brother Michael.
“He loves a turtleneck, somehow.

And hes also heavily into tweed.”
While Michael’s sartorial choices leave much to be desired, they do help Ellis get into character.
“With the characters, I wanted to make them poles apart,” notes Ellis.
“Obviously, Lucifer is a stylish man.
“I’m not going to break Lucifer’s life.
I’m going to take it,” says the American-accented Michael in the trailer.
I just feel like that running around all the time, but it’s fun,” says Ellis.
According to the showrunners, all of Ellis' work has definitely paid off.
But you’re also in the scene.
You’re staying with him because he’s grounding it," co-showrunner Joe Henderson previously told EW.
The first eight episodes ofLuciferseason 5 arrive Friday, Aug. 21 on Netflix.
