Daniel Craig has become synonymous with James Bond and his incredibly muscular appearance – but he looked unrecognizable this week when he showed off a drastically different look.
The 55-year-old sparked a huge response from fans on social media, who compared him to a "history professor" after he appeared in a video for Esquire to discuss Omega's Seamaster watch, sporting a look that was worlds away from his 007 alter ego.
Daniel wore a suave navy-blue suit with gold-framed circular spectacles and styled his longer, blonde hair in a side-parting.
His appearance resulted in some hilarious reactions from people on X – formerly Twitter – with many barely recognizing the Hollywood star. "He doesn't look like Daniel Craig to me," replied one.
A second said: "The more I look at this photo the more I'm convinced Daniel Craig is just the prime minister of some small European country no one can find on a map." A third added: "Daniel Craig is attractive yeah but he looks like a grandpa."
A fourth quipped: "Daniel Craig looks like he's about to tell your Nan her ceramics are worthless on Antiques Roadshow."

Daniel debuted his new hairstyle in September while attending the Albie Awards – organized by the Clooney Foundation For Justice – in New York City alongside his wife, Rachel Weisz.

Rachel looked as glamorous as ever in a floor-sweeping black and silver-patterned gown that boasted a plunging, deep V-neckline.
The couple have been married since 2011 but keep their personal life out of the spotlight. They exchanged vows in a low-key ceremony in New York City in front of just four people – two of whom were their own children, Ella and Henry.

Their wedding came as a shock to Rachel, as she previously admitted she didn't see marriage in her future. "I never thought I would get married," 'The Mummy' actress told ES magazine.

She added: "It just at that moment became the right thing."
