But on Thursday he sent fans into a delighted frenzy with his fresh, longer hairstyle at a press conference held in Beijing, China for his new movie The Great Wall.

Shall we discuss Matt Damon rocking a man pony?!

While we’re used to seeing Damon clean cut, and even sometimes buzzed cut, he’s really pulling off the ponytail!

Matt Damon set off shockwaves after debuting his new ponytail.

“Slicking his dishwater blonde tresses back into a voluminous high ponytail, the hunky thespian let his luscious curls dangle down his neck”, ogled The Express.

It’s unclear why he has grown his hair, but it’s believed that it is for anew movie role! Who knows, but these people are pretty much hoping they’re not…

He was promoting his film The Great wall with his co-stars, including Zhang Yimou and Game Of Thrones star Pedro Pascal. The plot centres around warriors using the Great Wall to combat otherworldly creatures who threaten humanity while Matt plays a battle-scarred mercenary in search of treasure amidst the action.
