Johnny Depp Dyes His Hair Bleach Blonde: Hot or Not?

Johnny Depp's got a new hairdo! The 50-year-old actor was a surprise guest at the 2013 BFI London Film Festival Awards on Saturday, Oct. 19, and looked nearly unrecognizable with bleached blonde hair.

Depp's brunette locks have been dyed a bright yellow color, but his roots remain dark. The Lone Ranger star, looking slim and handsome in a black tux, styled his new 'do by parting it in the middle.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Depp attended the the awards at the Banqueting House to present Christopher Lee with the BFI Fellowship honor. "It's my great honor to be here," Depp said on stage. He starred alongside Lee, 91, in the Tim Burton-directed films Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hollow and Dark Shadows. Depp called the actor a "wonderful inspiration" and said it was "certainly a childhood dream come true to work" with Lee.

Following a standing ovation, Lee said on stage, "Johnny, I don't know what to say. I didn't know you were going to be here. It is a very emotional moment for me as you can probably hear."

Thank You!
