British actor Daniel Craig has been spotted during a rare outing, rocking a completely different look than usual.

Daniel Craig ditched his 007 look for a more rugged vibe with a new long hairstyle.

The UK actor, 56, held hands with Rachel Weisz as they holidayed in Venice.

Craig kept it casual in a fitted T-shirt with a pair of blue jeans with a leather satchel across his chest.

Weisz, who married the James Bond actor in June 2011, looked chic in a pair of retro white sunglasses.

Craig’s long hair is for his role as Benoit Blanc in the Knives Out franchise.

He played the American detective in the first two murder mystery films, and is back for another whodunit.

His loveable character has lost his once clean-shaven look and opted for a more dishevelled look.

This might signal that the third film, called Wake Up Dead Man, might take a darker twist.

The director has been tight-lipped about the plot of his successor to Glass Onion, but Rian Johnson did tease that it will be Benoit’s “most dangerous case yet”.

In a mysterious tweet he added, “I love everything about whodunits, but one of the things I love most is how malleable the genre is.

“There’s a whole tonal spectrum from Carr to Christie, and getting to explore that range is one of the most exciting things about making Benoit Blanc movies.

“We’re about to go into production on the 3rd one, and I’m very, very excited to share the title, which gives a little hint of where it’s going.”

The first two films in the series proved to be smash hits on Netflix.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the third instalment, which is expected to air in 2025.

The full cast has not been revealed yet, but so far we do know it is set to include A-list actors such as Mila Kunis, Glenn Close, Josh O’Connor, Kerry Washington, and Jeremy Renner.
