65-Year-Old Gary Oldman Is Unrecognizable With French Braid At 2024 Golden Globes

Gary Oldman showed off a new look at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards

Celebrated actor Gary Oldman is rocking another new look, even without having to be in costume! Oldman is known for disappearing into his roles but even this was a new level of unrecognizable as the 65-year-old actor attended the Golden Globes with outgrown hair he had tied back in a silver-white braid.

Kicking off his career in 1979, Oldman has stayed busy ever since, with at least one new movie almost every subsequent year. In film, he was recently in 2023’s Oppenheimer as President Harry S. Truman. Over in television, he began an ongoing main role on the Apple TV+ series Dead Horses, starting in 2022. The Harry Potter alum was nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series and enjoyed the honor in style.

Oldman kept things streamlined, simple, and snazzy with a traditional black suit, dark gold-brown kerchief, and a black bowtie, all tied together with shining black shoes. But it was his gray hair that really caught attention, which Oldman wore long and pulled back into a braid.

“It’s a French braid!” he shared with Deadline before the ceremony began. He also sported oversized, vintage aviator sunglasses.

In addition to a Golden Globe nomination, Oldman was also nominated for a BAFTA Award celebrating his work as the lead character, Jackson Lamb in the unique spy thriller about intelligence officers condemned to administrative purgatory as “slow horses.”

Today, the prolific success of Oldman’s highly decorated career is a foregone conclusion; he has an Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, and three British Academy Film Awards to his name and he is one of the highest-grossing actors of all time.

But there was a time when he was in a tight spot. Oldman has sons Alfie, Gulliver, and Charlie and step-son William in the midst of his acting career and, following a divorce from Donya Fiorentino in 2001, found himself struggling to balance his parental responsibilities with his career.

“At 42 years old, I woke up divorced and I had custody of these boys and so that, in itself, was… That was hard,” he said on a December episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, “because there was a shift in the industry where a lot of productions were being [filmed in], it was Hungary, Budapest, Prague, Australia, you know, all of these places.”

Then came the Boy Who Lived. “Thank God for Harry Potter,” Oldman continued, “I tell you, the two — Batman and Harry Potter — really they saved me, because it meant that I could do the least amount of work for the most amount of money and then be home with the kids.”

Now, he sees himself playing Jackson Lamb for many years and considers that a satisfyingly grand end if “retirement is on the horizon.”
