In 1996, Daniel Craig sported a distinctive long, blonde, and often unkempt hairstyle for his breakout role in the acclaimed BBC drama serial Our Friends in the North. Because the series spans several decades (from 1964 to 1995), the actors had to undergo significant “hair evolutions” to reflect the passing of time and changing fashions.
Craig played George “Geordie” Peacock, a character who starts as a hopeful young man in the 1960s but spirals into a life of crime, homelessness, and addiction in London. The long, straggly hair was used to visually represent his descent and “hippy” roots during the late 1960s and 1970s segments of the show.
While Craig did have longer hair naturally in his youth, much of the more extreme length seen in Our Friends in the North was achieved using wigs. The show is jokingly referred to by some fans and critics as “Our Wigs in the North” because of the heavy (and sometimes questionable) hairpieces used to age the cast.
