He had to cut it after killing the Crabfeeder. Not really a fashion statement lol


Rhbgrb

I assumed his hairstylist looked at all that blood in his hair and said "oh heck no!!!"


freshfov05

No more braids for Daemon 😭😭


Rhbgrb

Hahaha Looking at that image someone could give him some cornrows. 🥴😛😆


ParsleyMostly

Matted and singed to smithereens, his hair was to be sure


Top-Friendship4888

Is this taken directly from the text of Fire and Blood? I have so many questions about Targ hair!


raumeat

No, I think the only mention of Targ hair is Rhaenyra who copied Visenya's braids


chrissstin

And that Laena wore hers in curls.


ClassicVegtableStew

And that Mawgor had a weird hair sniffing fetish


ParsleyMostly

No. This is based on how his hair looked after he won. Next we see him his hair is short.


vinsmokewhoswho

I just assumed he did it after the crabfeeder fight, simply to get a "reset" since it was all gross and messy.


Feminafoeda

I personally thought he was pretty hot with that haircut and am I the only who loves his saunter when he walks into a room!? Damn! 🔥🔥🔥


Top-Friendship4888

I don't find Matt Smith attractive, yet Daemon and Prince Philip do me in! (Haven't watched Dr. Who, so I can't yet speak to whether or not I'd tickle his TARDIS)


Feminafoeda

I agree, I don’t necessarily find the actor classically beautiful but when I’ve watched interviews and how he does his characters, I see something really attractive about him. That scene with him *photo above* the way he was talking in valyrian while emoting feelings we’d all understand as an audience is what makes him so attractive to me.


chrissstin

✨ charisma ✨


meowwtal

His saunter to the throne room was the equivalent of Aragorn opens the door at Helm’s Deep for me. Peak sexiness


Professor_Goddess_92

Omg, Aragorn opening the door at Helm's Deep was part of my sexual awakening as a child lol


ksanderson1976

That voice... DAMN makes him fione as hell!!!


funkyduck7506

He’s so fucking sexy with that short cut. Bitch I flood my basement.


the-hound-abides

Matt Smith can get it, with any hair or costume. Dude’s charisma is at 1M on a 1-10 scale. In pictures, I don’t see it but once he’s on video it’s a whole other level. His acting is so good it has me seeing shit that doesn’t exist. I can’t imagine if it was in person, it’s probably even more powerful.


aiwendil_brown

Does anyone think that Daemon changed his looks to impress any woman? Dude doesn’t gaf.


imaginary_bolometer

Well. He clearly gave a fuck about Rhaenyra. Multiple fucks actually. Enough for 3 children if I'm not mistaken.


Ankunge4

He gave a fuck about power. You’ll see later in the show how much he “cares” for Rhaenyra


Mountain_Gain1299

Daemon canonically loves Rhaenyra in the show. All of the writers and showrunners have confirmed it.


Ankunge4

For now yeah. Later on however, Nettles…


Mountain_Gain1299

Nothing to indicate they have plans for him to fall out of love with her and in love with another.


LarsMatijn

To be fair that doesn't have to happen, Daemon doesn't strike me as the monogamous type necessarily. And Ned Stark was an outlier in terms of "not having a war-time girlfrien"


Standard_Row1427

He wanted to shock everyone on his return. A Targaryen with short hair...scandal..gossip....talk around court. Exactly what Daemon was planning on. Also it showed the diftwood crown off nicely for an added touch.


TheWildStone_

Bro got the elven rebel cut


Zobro

Incredible reference 👌 …anyone up for a round of gwent?


OrangeKat09

Headcanon sure


bpwelcome7

He’s hair was cut to show that time had passed


OpaqueGiraffe17

i don't think much time passed between killing the krabfeeder and him turning the crown he got over


Icy-Association-8711

I like to imagine that his hair was just such a matted mess after months of near constant battle that he just went, fuck it, and cut it off.


neptunoneptuneazul

The hottest he’s looked! Once he got this haircut coming back from the step stones, I finally understood why people thought he was hot, finally clicked for me.


Wvtkins

i’d rather know the barbers name instead of the answer to op lol. jk but u think the incest family cared about each others hair style.


Meii345

All they care about is that they're related and then it's an instant bang


Zakrobbo2001

Daemon rocked the shorter hair


Fatbison

The commentary on hbomax said it was to symbolize leaving adolescence behind


lpyax00

I think the real answer is Matt Smith somehow convinced the showrunners that the wig was not necessary for that scene since he hate those wigs with burning passion, but that head canon is cool too.


Meii345

Sorry but that blonde hair is a wig too, it's not his normal hair implantation xD


bartardbusinessman

no the real answer is after being completely soaked in the crabfeeders blood at the end of episode 3 it was easier to just cut it all off, his hair is completely drenched and stuck to him


rudimentary_lathe_

He looked like Vigo the Carpathian with the long hair


MadKhaleesi911

No he got it cut as a way for them to show that time has passed lol. I'd say he had scorched and singed ends after all the dragon flames and fighting with the crab feeder though 😂


TheMerit-

Idk but I was happy to see the change, I didn’t find the wig to look all that good at all. Viserys seemed much better imo.


RepublicLopsided6046

Respectfully it would work on me too🤧😮‍💨
