Ginger today bald tomorrow: Damian Lewis shaves his head bald for new movie role
HE is renowned for close shaves in his TV thriller Homeland...but not like this.
Actor Damian Lewis has shaved off all his flame-red hair for his next film role.
The actor, 42, showed off a new skinhead look earlier today as he arrived on Scotland’s picturesque Isle of Mull to start work on Second World War drama The Silent Storm.
The Homeland star was virtually unrecognisable as he got into a plush navy Jaguar, preparing to begin filming in the village of Pennyghael.
Sporting a pair of sunglasses and black double breasted-coat over a black V-neck T-shirt, Damian's new appearance definitely gave him a mysterious air.
Lewis is taking advantage of a break in filming the third series of his hit TV show to play a church minister whose wife, played by Andrea Riseborough, starts a relationship with a delinquent lad sent to their care.
“It’s a tempestuous, brooding drama, just one of those magical pieces,” he said.
Speaking previously about the film, Damian said: "I cannot wait to work with Andrea at last and get our teeth into these very meaty roles.
"There is nothing so rewarding for a film actor as the intensity of an intimate shoot like this will be, isolated away in a beautiful part of the world."
