Actor Daniel Craig looked worlds away from his sharply-dressed James Bond character this week as he jetted off to Paris for the Olympic Games. Whilst the star, 56, is best known for looking ultra-suave and freshly shaven – a look he became synonymous with whilst starring as 007 agent James Bond – Daniel was photographed sporting flowing locks and stubble. Posing inside the OMEGA House, global ambassador Daniel adopted a relaxed stance as he gazed at the camera with one hand on his knee.

For the glossy photoshoot, the father-of-two rocked a smart powder blue shirt with rolled up sleeves and a pair of blue jeans complete with turned-up cuffs. He completed his look with some sandy-hued desert boots and a gleaming timepiece from OMEGA in slate. During his Parisian visit, Daniel also carved out time to attend the Games, cheering on competitors at showjumping and skateboarding events.

The Skyfall actor's new look first sparked a reaction back in July when he starred in a fashion campaign for luxury Spanish label, Loewe. Eschewing his staple tuxedos and velvet jackets, Daniel fully embraced the hip grandpa aesthetic in technicolour Fair Isle knits, chunky plimsolls, sequined trousers and yellow-tinted glasses. He wore his sandy locks smoothed down into a side part and pulled off a series of playful poses for photographer David Sims.

The star's new look coincides with his upcoming appearance in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery which sees the actor reprise his role as eccent.
