Male Actors With Blonde Hair: 34 Male Celebrities Who Are Naturally Blonde (2024)

In a world where bleaching and dyeing one’s hair is considered a normal activity, it could be hard to find those that have naturally been gifted with vibrant colour schemes on their strands.

Going blonde is a trend that many have given into. Hollywood actors such as Zac Efron, Orlando Bloom, and Dave Franco are some of the first male celebrities that hopped on the bandwagon after the movement rose to prominence in late 2019, while many ended up following their footsteps shortly afterward.

Although a list of male celebrities had to visit a salon and put in an extra amount of effort to change the colour scheme of their hair, there are many on the other end that didn’t have to move a finger to experiment with blonde hair, as they were born with it!

From up and coming heartthrobs like Austin Butler to renowned veteran actors like Brad Pitt, listed below are all the male celebrities who are naturally blonde!

34 Actors That You Didn’t Know Were Legally Blonde!

While we’re quite unsure of the accurate timeline, going blonde is a trend that has always been around. The vibrant hues of the colour don’t just give your hair more life, density, and texture, but are known for making one’s physical appearance more youthful. According to many hair specialists, blonde hair is also more attractive than brunette hair.

Whether you’re trying to make your existing hairstyle a bit more appealing or actively trying to give your hair a new beginning, going blonde could be a rational option to add to the list. Additionally, if you do lack inspiration and need a series of A-list actors that will back you up, skim through the list below to learn about all the actors that have always been legally blonde!

Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling initially got his breakthrough as a child actor when he starred on The Mickey Mouse Club. He subsequently made appearances in various family tv shows before getting into serious acting.

The Notebook and The Big Short are two great movies that Gosling is known for in addition to his charming personality. He is also known for all the hairstyles that he slayed throughout his career and has been a blondie all his life.

Owen Wilson

Another actor that has always been blonde is Owen Wilson. While he’s widely recognized for his comedic timing and often praised for the contribution he’s made as a producer, his iconic wings cut with a dirty shade of blonde is also a crucial element that shaped his success.

Owen Wilson hasn’t really changed the structure of his swoop in quite some time now. Sure, he did experiment with it when he portrayed different actors in a series of films, but always went back to the layer-oriented hairstyle; which suits his personality as well as his physical appearance.

Ben McKenzie

Ben McKenzie first rose to prominence when he landed a role on The O.C in the early 2000s. While his portrayal of Ryan Atwood won the hearts of many due to the show’s massive influence during that time, his character also received praise for the attires he wore; which often looked stunning due to Ben McKenzie’s blonde locs.

Although The O.C did fall short of living up to its potential, it’s safe to say that Ben McKenzie’s career hasn’t slowed down ever since. The way he played James Gordan on Gotham will forever be glorified due to the polished slick back he wore to play the part.

Dylan and Cole Sprouse

If you’ve seen Riverdale and know about The Suite Life Of Zack and Cody, perhaps the Sprouse twins don’t need an introduction.

Just like a majority of the celebs on this list, Cole and Dylan Sprouse found fame at an early age. In fact, they landed their first gig at 3 years old when both the twins landed a co-op role in the movie Big Daddy, which featured Adam Sandler. While they definitely lacked the acting abilities, the selling point about them back in the day was the light blonde head of hair they were born with!

Cam Gigandet

Actor Cam Gigandet became a heartthrob in 2007 after he portrayed Ryan McCarrthy in the MMA movie, Never Back Down.

Although he was mostly recognized for the amount of work he had to put in to play the character, Cam Gigandet also enhanced his fan base with the messy and dirty blonde crew cut that he had throughout the movie; which could be an excellent asset to invest in if you want to showcase your hair with an endless amount of texture!

Leonardo DiCaprio

Leonardo DiCaprio is a no-brainer on this list. Though you could easily have missed out on the unforgettable movies he was in like Titanic, The Departed, and The Basketball Diaries due to how old it is, you probably have heard of the eBoy look, which he glorified in the 90s.

In addition to showcasing his blonde strands with a look as lengthy and as fabulous as the eBoy haircut, DiCaprio also wore multiple hairstyles that never failed to become a staple in fashion.

Dolph Lundgren

Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren is an iconic name in Hollywood due to the role he had in Rocky IV as Ivan Drago. Although the amount of muscle he had to put in for that part was clearly evident, a little known fact about the actor is that he’s a blondie.

Just like Owen Wilson, Dolph Lundgren never dyed his hair, which is something we would/ve done too if we had this much density and vibrance in our hair!

Paul Walker

Late actor Paul Walker surely did enough to become a household name in the eyes of filmmakers and movie critics. Throughout his career as an actor, he added loads of individual accolades and an admirable amount of nominations under his belt.

While the absence of his abilities as an actor is surely felt in all the recent Fast and The Furious movies, another element that we miss immensely is the curly blonde locs that he often wore on the regular.

Heath Ledger

When thinking about Heath Ledger, it’s normal if you miss him and reminisce about the time he starred in The Dark Knight as Joker. However, did you know that Heath Ledger’s natural hair colour wasn’t brown, and in fact, blonde?

Even though the late actor had a brown colored bro-flow days prior to his passing, Heath Ledger’s actual hair colour was ash blonde, which can be seen in the movie, 10 Things I Hate About You.

Chris Pratt

Before Chris Pratt starred in Guardians Of The Galaxy as Peter Quill, also known as Starlord, he wasn’t just out of shape, but also had blonde hair, which appears to be his natural hair colour.

Though he hasn’t switched from his brown hair dye in a while now, the swoop he used to wear during the mid 2000s can surely be used as evidence, and can also be found on the web.

Chad Michael Murray

One of Chad Michael Murray’s notable accomplishments is the way he portrayed Lucas Scott in the 2002 CW series One Tree Hill. He is also very much active at the moment, and is regularly recognized for the recurring role he had on Riverdale for a short amount of time.

While his forte in acting is the primary reason behind his success, his blonde hair can also be considered a close second. Some roles that he had in movies could easily be dismissed, but the amount of hairstyles he’s rocked so far can’t be swept under the rug that easily!

Matt Damon

Matt Damon has left some gems as movies with the help of his abilities as an actor, but a fact about the American actor that is usually kept from the public eye is his natural hair colour; which is blonde.

In earlier movies such as Good Will Hunting and Rounders, Matt rocked the 90s middle part with his blonde colored hair, which eventually turned grey and transformed into the grey crew cut that he wears at the moment.

Machine Gun Kelly

Machine Gun Kelly is a musician who’s often considered a late-bloomer in the industry as an actor. Though he only took up a handful of gigs when he first started pursuing a career as a professional actor, he’s rather active these days and is currently working on several projects in Hollywood.

MGK is also a prominent figure in the fashion scene due to the fluidity of his wardrobe, which always stands out with his blonde hair. While the actor did obtain his effortless fringe hairstyle with the help of surgeons and multiple hair transplants, the amount of hairstyles he’s worn so far is nothing short of amusing; a topic that we looked into when writing about MGK’s haircut.

Charlie Hunnam

Charlie Hunnam is another modern day actor who is typically acknowledged for the 2014 American drama series Sons Of Anarchy; in which he was the primary protagonist. However, auditioning for the role seemed enough for the actor, as he didn’t have to partake in physical activities on the regular to get in shape.

He also didn’t have to do much to his hair, as his blonde surfer cut had the visuals and the length to be sufficient for the role.

River Phoenix

River Phoenix was an actor who was prominently known for partaking in a series of classic 90s films such as My Own Private Idaho, Dog Fight, Indiana Jones, and so on.

While he’s also notably known for his brother Joaquin Phoenix at the moment, and often celebrated because of how gifted he was in his 20s as an actor before his tragic passing, a component that we believe deserves more acknowledgement is the series of hairstyles that he single handedly carried and pulled off in the mid 80s throughout the 90s with his blonde hair!

Chris Carmack

Chris Carmack took up minor roles as a television actor on shows such as The O.C and Nashville before he ultimately got the recognition that he always deserved through the help of Grey’s Anatomy.

While the actor aged gracefully and surely expanded his skillset over the years, one thing that has remained timeless after all these years is his blonde hair, which he has changed up on several occasions.

Daniel Craig

When we think of James Bond or analyse the digits “007,” recalling Daniel Craig’s existence is extremely natural. Though Daniel Craig started taking up short gigs in movies which go all the way back into the 90s, his talents went unnoticed until he replaced Pierce Brosnan to portray James Bond in 2007.

Although many considered the blonde-haired actor with a lean build an undesirable successor of Pierce Brosnan, Craig responded with his portrayal of James Bond. In addition to reprising the role consistently for almost 2 decades, the actor also amassed a community of fans that will forever remain loyal to the English actor, as well as his military-esque cut!

Channing Tatum

Movies such as Step-up, She’s The Man, and Magic Mike typically help with recalling some fondful memories. However, it also reminds us of American actor Channing Tatum.

Channing Tatum had to do a lot to make it in Hollywood. He initially started as a dancer in Florida, where he was scouted by an agency that helped with kick-starting his modelling career. He was subsequently casted as Duke Orsino in She’s the Man in 2006, which required him to ditch his naturally formed, blonde hair.

The change did make the actor the recipient of good fortune, as a series of remarkable deals followed him shortly after 2006. However, Channing reunited with his blonde hair in 2019 when he rocked this surfer-esque buzz cut with a 2 on the sides!

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt is another notable face amongst A-list actors that happens to be a blondie. He’s known for his unforgettable role in Fight Club, Troy, World War Z, and his one-of-a-kind portrayal as “The Apache” in The Inglourious Basterds.

Over the span of almost 3 decades, Brad Pitt has worn a range of haircuts that can be more than sufficient for everyday use. He also grew a small following in recent years due to the haircut that he had in Fury; a topic that we thoroughly covered in another article.

Chris Hemsworth

Thor obviously became a dominant superhero in the Marvel universe, and eventually was welcomed with open arms by the community after getting its own franchise.

While the success of it lies in the hands of all the films in the Avengers’ franchise, we also believe that Thor wouldn’t have made it this far without Chris Hemsworth, his blonde hair, and his remarkable physique.

Chris Hemsworths’ physique probably required the actor to hit the gym five times a week before he portrayed the Thunder God. However, his blonde hair was homegrown and was already present in his DNA.

Tom Felton

Harry Potter fans might know him as Draco Malfoy, but he’s solely a feature on this list because of his blonde tousles!

Tom Felton achieved success at an early age because of his brilliant role in the Harry Potter franchise. While the actor clearly impressed J.K. Rowling with the maturity he possessed at an early age, the platinum blonde hair that he had gave him the edge over other contenders, and came in clutch for the slick back that his character wore so flawlessly.

Macaulay Culkin

Although Macaulay Culkin only takes up television gigs these days, the American actor initially started his career as a child, when he played the oh so rebellious Kevin McAllister in the Home Alone franchise. He subsequently did Richie Rich and made several cameos throughout the early 2000s before he disappeared from the public eye.

Culkin made a return to television in 2021 when he starred in the 10th season of American Horror Story, and while he did look significantly older than he did in the 90s, one thing that he still had was the same head of blonde hair!

Michael Caine

Michael Caine is definitely not as young as he once was, but his dominant influence is very much alive to this day. He starred in various prominent films, some of which are the movies Kingsman, The Prestige, Now You See Me, and The Batman franchise.

While the above-mentioned names definitely brought to the table a glorious amount of success in the life of Michael Caine, his blonde hair seems to be the unsung hero that supported him before he rose to stardom.

Liam Hemsworth

Since Chris Hemsworth is on the list, Liam Hemsworth’s presence shouldn’t come as a surprise.

While Liam isn’t nearly as popular in the Marvel universe when compared to his brother, the Australian actor has a fan base that is just as massive due to The Hunger Games franchise, his on-again off-again relationship with Miley Cyrus, and his medium blonde textured faux hawk.

Matthew McCounaghuey

Matthew McCounaghuey is another veteran who is prominently recognized for a series of films which includes the likes of The Wolf Of Wall Street, Dallas Buyers Club, Interstellar, and so on.

You might have heard and even seen the pre-speech ritual that he improvised in The Wolf Of Wall Street with DiCaprio, but did you know that he is also a blonde haired actor? If not, be sure to check out movies such as Dazed and Confused, one of his earlier gigs which featured him and his blonde hair!

Jesse McCartney

Jesse McCartney initially rose to fame in the 90s as JR Chandler in the series All My Children. Although he subsequently dropped his career as an actor to begin his career as a musician, McCartney made cameos on several tv shows during that time, and ultimately made a name for himself in 2008 after the release of Keith.

While it was surely his acting that garnered all the attention, the fact that he had to switch his beach blonde hair for a jet black hairstyle was also groundbreaking!

Paul Bettany

Paul Bettany is often acknowledged for the voice that he provided for Tony Stark’s Jarvis in the Ironman franchise. However, once upon a time, he was also known for his frosted tips, which he eventually got to showcase when he landed a role in the Avengers as Vision.

Austin Butler

Austin Butler is also one of the new faces in Hollywood who has quickly gathered a massive amount of attention after portraying legendary late musician Elvis Presley in the 2022 film, Elvis. Even though his jet black pompadour was compulsory to look the part, a little known fact about it is that it was unnatural.

In reality, Austin is one of the very few actors who has blonde hair, which he last wore in mid-2020; months prior to filming scenes for the biological drama film.

Josh Hutcherson

Just like his co-star from The Hunger Games, Josh Hutcherson is another actor who was born with a head full of blonde hair. While his earlier roles like The Bridge To Terabithia required him to dye his hair black, Hutcherson’s natural hair finally got the chance to rise above when the actor landed a role in The Hunger Games franchise; in which he wore a platinum blonde, brushed back hair.

Ross Lynch

Disney star Ross Lynch is currently taking the world by storm with his unparalleled skills as an actor. One of the more recent films that added multiple accolades under its belt is My Friend Dahmer, which is believed to be the role that gave the former American child actor the breakthrough that he needed. It also gave his blonde hair the chance to shine under the spotlight.

Alex Pettyfer

Alex Pettyfer is a British actor who rose to prominence after starring in the 2006 film, Stormbreaker. He’s also known for starring in the Magic Mike franchise alongside Channing Tatum and Matthew McCounaughey; both of whom are also present in this article.

While the blonde swoop that he had back then was missing when he starred in I Am Number Four in 2011 and replaced with a messy quiff, the fact that Alex has always been blonde is a fact that many won’t be able to learn about without this list!

Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston and Chris Hemsworth aren’t just in the same box in the Avengers franchise, but remain a duo on this list as well. While it is often hard to pick up on due to frequent colour changes, Tom Hiddlestone has always been a blondie.

However, due to the role he has as Loki, he frequently had to change the natural light blonde shade and resort to a jet black hue.

One of the very few roles that gave Tom the opportunity to showcase his natural locs was the tv show The Night Manager, which ran for 6 episodes in 2016.

Neil Patrick Harris

Neil Pattrick Harris is another entry on this list who didn’t just earn the respect he deserved from his colleagues as an actor, but also won several hearts as Barney Stinson and his polished blonde side part.

The actor has also landed several roles in prominent Hollywood films such as Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle and its trilogy, and even made a cameo appearance in the sci-fi film The Matrix Resurrections.

Ben Hardy

Ben Hardy has yet to make a huge statement as an actor since the only notable role he has is the time he portrayed Brian May in the 2018 film Bohemian Rhapsody.

However, since this list isn’t based on accomplishments, but caters rather to the head of hair that actors have, Ben Hardy seamlessly fits in, as he too was born with blonde hair.

The relaxed comb over that he often wears is also a great look that brings out the structure of his face admirably, and could definitely be a look to try out if you’re a blondie with medium length hair!
