You have to see Matt Smith's insane mohawk on his new movie Caught Stealing

I'm going to cut right to the chase: Matt Smith, known for playing the Doctor on Doctor Who and Daemon Targaryen on House of the Dragon, is filming a new movie called Caught Stealing, a crime drama about a former baseball player who gets caught up in the world of underground crime in 1990. Smith doesn't play the baseball player; that honor goes to Austin Butler, lately of Dune: Part II and Elvis. Smith plays another character: I don't even know his name, but I know he wears a heavily studded jacked, plaid pants with chains, and a straight-up brown, red and yellow mohawk that makes him look like he was merged with a dirty paintbrush in a science experiment gone wrong.

I'm not actually going to post the image here, because it looks like it's a papparazzi photo and I don't want to get sued, but you can see it everywhere; Just Jared has a whole cache of images, and wow the mohawk goes way down the back of his head. It's a party in the front and a party in the back, whereas the sides have been wiped clean of all life.

Smith has been making a lot of follicularly interesting acting choices of late. On House of the Dragon, of course, he wears a bleached blonde wig that falls down his back. Maybe that turned him on to the possibility of how hairstyles could change one state of mind.

As for Caught Stealing, there's no release date for the movie as of yet, but a 2025 premiere seems likely. In addition to Smith and Butler, it also stars Zoë Kravitz, Liev Schreiber, Vincent D'Onofrio, and more. Excitingly, it's directed by Darren Aronofsky, the autuer behind movies like Requirem for a Dream, The Wrestler, Black Swan, Noah and The Whale. That and Matt Smith's mohawk are more than enough reason for me to buy a ticket.
