House Of The Dragon star unrecognisable as he ditches blonde hair for red carpet look at Golden Globes
LOOKING totally different from how we know him in the iconic series, this House of the Dragon star looked almost unrecognisable last night.
Attending the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California last night, the 29-year-old fantasy star looked very different indeed.
Tom Glynn-Carney, 29, was seen at the event looking suave while suited and booted – although his look divided the opinions of some of his fans.
The Salford-born star ditched his signature blonde House of the Dragon hair for the swanky red carpet look at the award ceremony, with many fans taking a second glance.
Tom is best known for playing the role of Aegon II Targaryen in the fantasy drama series House of the Dragon.
Playing the role of Aegon II Targaryen in the series, when Tom is in character he has bleached blonde hair and no facial hair.
With his hair in a more mousey brown shade at the Golden Globes last night, and with a mustache, it’s safe to say he looked rather different.
Wearing a double-breasted pinstripe suit and some black shoes, Tom was dressed to the nines for the star-studded event.
With his hair styled down and in a shaggy way, the House of the Dragon star looked worlds away from his character in the fantasy show.
“OMGGGG TOM,” penned one person on X, formerly Twitter, reacting to Tom’s look, while another declared: “My man.”
“TOM HELLO AND THANK YOU AHHH,” said a third, while a fourth wrote: “Perfect.”
‘THE HAIR IS NOT FOR ME’
“The hair is not for me but he’s still very hot so he gets a pass,” penned a fifth fan on the social media platform.
But not everyone was so complimentary, with many confused over the look and quick to blame his stylist.
“Omg what happened to him?” asked one person, while a second said: “Nice. But that mustache doesn’t suit him.”
“His stylist hates him. Very few can pull off a double-breasted suit, much less an ill-fitting one,” penned a third.
While a fourth added: “Why did the stylist do him like that. He is a beautiful guy.”
