Daniel Craig\u2019s style transformation from sharp 007 star <\/a>to contemplative Cambridge professor appears to be complete. <\/p>\n

The \u201cJames Bond\u201d actor \u2014 once lusted after by women everywhere for his suave, devastatingly clean-cut portrayal of the British spy \u2014 has grown out his hair in recent years and adopted a scholarly, authoritative appearance amid the September release of Netflix\u2019s \u201cWake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the actor flaunted a floppier, softer hairstyle amid the \u201cQueer\u201d press tour earlier this year, and rocked a shaggy cut at the Venice Film Festival in 2024, fans started dissecting the dramatic changes. <\/p>\n

\u201cDaniel Craig looks like a hacker working for Hans Gruber,\u201d observed one person<\/a> on X, referring to a particularly stylish 2024 fashion campaign for Loewe, in which Craig, 57, sported a choppy cut and a colorful pullover sweater. <\/p>\n

Another noted that he appeared \u201cdapper (and mysterious) <\/a>with his long hair in \u2018Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery!’\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI love all Daniel Craigs, but I really do have a soft spot for Long Hair Daniel Craig,\u201d yet another noted. <\/p>\n

Alongside a photo of Craig\u2019s earnestly intellectual photos from the Toronto International Film Festival in February, one person wrote, \u201cDaniel craig with longer hair<\/a> is so fine please never go back to 007 hair keep your hair long daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another called the romantic cut a \u201cdaring departure from his Bond look.\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Still, others have drawn comparisons between the actor and iconic 90s newscaster Bill Bonds<\/a>, whose ruggedly handsome appearance and longish blond hair make for a striking resemblance to the Bond actor.<\/p>\n

Craig first began appearing as a clean-shaven, sharply stylish James Bond in 2006\u2019s \u201cCasino Royale.\u201d He\u2019d reprise the role<\/a> four more times over the years before ending his stint as the British spy with 2021\u2019s \u201cNo Time to Die.\u201d <\/a><\/p>\n

The actor took over the role after Pierce Brosnan\u2019s final turn as Bond in 2002\u2019s \u201cDie Another Day.\u201d At the time, Craig\u2019s cutting-edge version of the big-screen hero was quite a departure from Brosnan\u2019s dreamy, longer-haired Bond \u2014 a look he now appears to have embraced as his own. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniel Craig\u2019s style transformation from sharp 007 star to contemplative Cambridge professor appears to be complete.
