Liev looked sleek in his monochrome look, which featured a slim black sweater and black pants.
He also lightened his ensemble up a tad with a pair of gray suede shoes.
The Spotlight actor was seen maskless on his balcony as he smoked, tough he was appropriately socially distanced from others.
He covered up with a blue surgical mask while stepping out in the city to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Liev has been seen out in the city multiple times since arriving in Venice, which appears to violate Italian quarantine restrictions from foreign travelers.
Unless they’re coming from exempted countries, travelers are supposed to quarantine in their lodgings for two weeks, but that doesn’t seem to have kept him indoors.
The Isle Of Dogs voice actor was also spotted out on his balcony again for another cigarette, this time while he wore a gray sweatshirt.
He’s in Venice to begin filming the drama Across The River And Into The Trees.

Liev stars in the film as US Army Colonel Richard Cantwell, who learns toward the end of the Second World War that he’s suffering from a terminal heart condition.
As his mortality comes into focus, he decides to visit Venice, where he spent time during the war and began a romance with a much younger woman.
The film is based on the Ernest Hemingway’s 1950 novel of the same name, which was his last novel published before his death.
Reactions at the time were overwhelmingly negative, though modern critics view the novel more favorably.
On Wednesday, Liev shared an selfie of himself unmasked on a boat as he arrived in Venice.
He was dressed in a navy blazer and a white ribbed button-down shirt.

‘Arguably the most beautiful city in the world (next to NYC of course),’ he wrote. ‘Can’t wait to get to work!’
Earlier this month, Liev was spotted back in New York City, where his ex-wife Naomi Watts, 52, and their children, Sasha, 13, and Kai, 11, also live.
The couple were married in 2005 but announced their separation in 2016.
Since ending their marriage, the Mulholland Drive actress has struck up a relationship with fellow actor Billy Crudup, 52.
