Messina grabbed some of the awards show spotlight when he arrived at the Golden Globes red carpet sporting platinum blonde hair — a striking departure from his usual dark brown coif. There was plenty of speculation that Messina’s hair change is for his upcoming role in DC’s _Birds of Prey_, where he’ll be playing bad guy henchman Victor Zsasz alongside Ewan McGregor’s villain Black Mask, but there was no doubt that it made quite the impression on Golden Globes viewers and attendees. As might be expected, Messina’s new platinum blonde look (a seeming trend amongst the hip young men of the current celebrity set, from Justin Bieber to Pete Davidson) inspired plenty of discussion online, with many taking to social media to sound off on Messina’s new hair. One person thought that Messina’s new hair bore an uncanny resemblance to Draco Malfoy’s. > [](https://twitter.com/MarcSnetiker/status/1082059884810518529) Another saw parallels between him and Tyler Durden’s bleached hair. > [](https://twitter.com/thecultureofme/status/1082076711620132864) While another found Messina’s new blonde hair very attractive. > [](https://twitter.com/evanrosskatz/status/1082057941753171968) While others petitioned for Chris Messina to be accepted into the current canon of [famous Hollywood “Chrises.”](https://jezebel.com/report-jezebel-endorses-chris-pine-for-top-chris-of-th-1795898320 "undefined") > [](https://twitter.com/chrispvne/status/1082061496274903049) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5495780/chris-messina-blonde-hair-golden-globes-2019/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5495780/chris-messina-blonde-hair-golden-globes-2019/"},"headline":"Chris Messina Debuts Platinum Blonde Hair in Bombshell Moment at the 2019 Golden Globes","datePublished":"2019-01-07T17:15:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:56:44.941Z","description":"Maybe blondes really do have more fun","url":"https://time.com/5495780/chris-messina-blonde-hair-golden-globes-2019/","keywords":["Newsfeed"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt28db2429b3231a18/698942c9929fad63e0bf273b/chris-messina-platinum-blonde-hair.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt28db2429b3231a18/698942c9929fad63e0bf273b/chris-messina-platinum-blonde-hair.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"76th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals","caption":"76th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals","creditText":"David Crotty—Patrick McMullan via Getty Image","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5495780/chris-messina-blonde-hair-golden-globes-2019/","name":"Chris Messina Debuts Platinum Blonde Hair in Bombshell Moment at the 2019 Golden Globes"}}]}] ```
