Marilyn Manson has been photographed dressed as a character from the HBO show Eastbound & Down.

The photograph of Manson as fictional baseball star Kenny Powers has been published in the current issue of Interview magazine.

It shows the singer unusually without make-up and wearing an Atlanta baseball jersey.

In the magazine, director Adam Bhala Lough revealed that Manson and White Stripes star Jack White were both huge fans of the show.

"Whenever I see Manson, he's repeating entire chunks of dialogue and dressed like Kenny," Lough said.

"He just walks around dressed like this and f*cks with people on the street”

Eastbound & Down has become a huge hit on US television and is due to return for a second season in the coming months.
