Daniel Craig’s transformation at the Venice International Film Festival has certainly captured attention, with his long brown hair streaked with silver becoming a hot topic of discussion. The former James Bond star looked dramatically different from his usual clean-cut appearance, sparking a flurry of reactions on social media.
Some fans were taken aback by the drastic change, with humorous comparisons to iconic figures like Paul McCartney and Frank Gallagher from Shameless. However, others admired the new look, with some defending it as a necessary change for his role in the upcoming Knives Out 3.
Craig’s appearance alongside his wife, Rachel Weisz, only added to the buzz. The couple’s coordinated neutral-toned outfits, with Craig in a grey blazer and white trousers and Weisz in a cream dress, exuded effortless style at their dinner outing at Hotel Cipriani’s Il Porticciolo restaurant.

The discussion around Craig’s hairstyle overshadowed even the premiere of his latest film Queer, directed by Luca Guadagnino, at the festival. While opinions were divided, the consensus was clear—Craig’s new look has left a lasting impression.
Comments from fans who were left stunned included remarks like, “He has hair?” and “Daniel’s hair,” with a bunch of emojis. One X, formerly Twitter user quipped, “That’s Paul McCartney,” while another compared his appearance to Frank Gallagher, William H. Macy’s character in Shameless. However, others came in his defense as one explained that Craig grew out his hair for Knives 3. Meanwhile, a second user said, “ppl making fun of his hair in the qrts… get behind me daniel.”
