Bridgerton star Luke Thompson turned heads at Wimbledon this week, revealing a striking new look that has fans buzzing as anticipation builds for the hit show’s fourth season.
The 37-year-old actor, known for playing Benedict Bridgerton in the popular Netflix series, appeared on day ten of the tennis tournament sporting a completely shaved head, a dramatic departure from the period-style curls viewers have come to associate with his character.
Thompson paired his bold new hairstyle with a sharp lemon-colored suit, crisp white polo, brown loafers, and matching sunglasses.
While enjoying the sunny action at Center Court, Thompson was spotted mingling with fellow actor Ncuti Gatwa, known for Sex Education and Doctor Who.
The two posed together, with fans online celebrating the unexpected crossover. “Ncuti Gatwa and Luke Thompson. A pairing I didn’t know I needed,” one fan wrote.
Social media erupted with reactions to Thompson’s transformation.
“HIS HAIR IS GONE I’M CRASHING OUT,” one user exclaimed on X.
Another chimed in, “I guess I’m in the minority, but I think Luke Thompson looks hot with the haircut.”
Some fans couldn’t help but notice similarities between Thompson’s new style and that of his co-star Luke Newton, who plays Colin Bridgerton
“Luke Newton and Luke Thompson are twinning – both of them have the same hairstyle. The Bridgerton bros,” one user joked.
