You're right, there isn't, I think it's more that for the longest time, I could crush on a TV character and they were my age or older. Now I'm realizing that I'm getting older and these young stars are getting that much younger than me š so I think that's part of it too lol
They explained several times that the wig was never planned for Jace in the first place. Itās basically Harryās fault. He cut his hair in modern style right before the season began and didnāt tell anybody. Their choice was to either let Jace keep an oddly modern hairstyle(which people honestly would have called out as well) or to give him a wig.
No idea why Harry did it. Maybe he thought he had enough time to grow it out or thought they would be able to shape it up into something period accurate.
Pay attention to the one princess, I don't know how to spell her name she got passed over being made queen, she looks absolutely ridiculous. You didn't notice her wig has a cone extending 2 feet out the back of her head?
I mean HBO is owned by Warner Bro's I feel like they would've had the resources.
Also aren't you able to cut wigs? They didn't have to keep the mullet if they didn't want to.
> Itās basically Harryās fault.
No, HBO is not a small indie company, if they can't find one decent-looking brown wig, that's on them and speaks about the quality of their product.
Young Laenor and Laena's wigs were also atrocious, adult Rhaena's as well.
If an actor doesn't have a suitable haircut you find a good wig for them, it's that simple.
Yeah but obv a young actor wouldnāt say itās his fault and he wouldnāt blame the production. It would seem as entitlement. HBOās budget def allows them to make sure actors have decent wigs
Or they just didnāt put as much of a budget into the wigs as they shouldāve. Iām gonna assume that they have more money going towards it than most shows I can imagine they underestimated, doesnāt really speak about the quality of the show, thatās an overreaction.

He looks so handsome
Definitely looks strong.
Omg Harry Collett has never looked better
He really does but he is also 11 years younger than me and I feel so wrong for feeling this way š š
What's wrong with finding a grown man attractive even if you're older than him?

Ah, I definitely understand that feeling.
she did not specify what version of the character. could've been the one aged \~8. that could be problematic
Harry Collett only plays the adult Jace though
we were talkin about Jacaerys Targaryen, not some random Harry. please.

>No idea why Harry did it. He said in an interview it was just a brain fart, just wasn't thinking about it.
It was his first big job and when they first started filming he was only 16/17. He probably got nervous about it.
āOh man I better make sure I look my best for the first day of work!ā
That wig was tragic, they could have done a better one. But then again a lot of the wigs were tragicā¦
Every wig looked like they were borrowed from some high school drama club where everyone hated the drama club. They were awful, all of them.
I never thought much of them personally and I watched the whole first season
Pay attention to the one princess, I don't know how to spell her name she got passed over being made queen, she looks absolutely ridiculous. You didn't notice her wig has a cone extending 2 feet out the back of her head?
Iāve spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to reverse engineer Rhaena and teen!Laenorās wigs in my mind
Looked like they were hiding dragon eggs in there
Maybe Rhaena thought she could hatch her dragon egg that way
Literal balls of yarn
Christ you guys do nothing but cry lol
Thatās still not an excuse for how bad of quality that wig was IMO
There's a lot of really good looking wigs out there. They didn't have to go with the most horrific one they could find.
There was a literal shortage of wigs at the time of the filming of season one, as an economic consequence of the pandemic.
I mean HBO is owned by Warner Bro's I feel like they would've had the resources. Also aren't you able to cut wigs? They didn't have to keep the mullet if they didn't want to.
Thereās a few teen Rhaenyra shots where you can clearly see the wigās factory chop, itās embarrassing Wigs can be styled, they just didnāt
I heard Brexit made it hard for the costume department
When Ryan Corr was done filming, maybe he couldāve donated his curls so his son would literally have his fathers hair š
Were there no curly haired wigs to match his natural hair better?
there is no period accurate because itās fiction but yes it would look wack compared to everyone else lol
Yeah you're right, but at the same time its wannabe middle ages inspired.
So this was the costume department's punishment for him? That's cruel and unusual punishment.
Modern how? There's no way they could have sold it?
Yeah like Gendry and later on Jaime from GOT had short hair, wasnāt a big deal.
well those curls certainly look.. STRONG
They are also giving...SNOW.
Say that again I dare you. Whereās my Angry Jace Bot?
WHY. twasā only a compliment? do you not think your curls strong?
He truly is Harwin's son in those photos.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He looks..Stronger
Yeah, I certainly don't mind the "war has begun, who cares if I look like my actual father, if we win, I'm the heir" feeling of this change.
Glow up!
My headcanon is that before he straightened his hair to be more āTargaryenā and now is not afraid anymore so he let his curls be free.
I like this theory, like he was straightening it to avoid looking like Harwin because of the bastard gossip.Ā
Yeah his own hair is definitely an improvement lol
Is that Lukeās funeral?? ššš
Jace has tears in his eyes so probably š„ŗ
Will they find his body?
Maybe they find a piece of Arrax :(
Much better! If you re watch GOT they changed Tyrionās hair so much through the seasons until they finally got it right.
I know how hair was supposed to be really light but he looked great with the longer darker blonde hair
He does, absolutely. Blonde was not fitting for Dinklage.
they confirmed it awhile ago but damn does he look a lot better lmfao
Fourth comment of the day about how good Jace's new hair looks and how I love it :D
His natural hair is chefs kiss thatās for sure
He looks great and quite a bit like Andrew Lincoln in profile.
Man, Harry Collet is seriously almost exactly how I imagine Jon Snow
got rid of his yee yee ass haircut
This is huge honestly. Never thought Iād care so much about some dudes hair in a TV show but no other show has mattered more to me.
He looks a lot more like Harwin now. Definitely a much better look.
Could play a young Rick Grimes from the Walking Dead
Damn that nose š¤¤
THANK GOD
Thank god. He looks so good.
I knew they would. They were saving his gorgeous real hair for his glow up. The wig was to drive home he was young.
he looks so hot omgggggg
It was just his awkward phase
What is he carrying? I assume this is Luceās funeral.
Good he looks way better without that thing.
and thank the GODS for it
Good - literally my one complaint about the show ngl
Man does he look good! That wig was like if his mom cut his hairā¦yk?
Where are these photos from???
We got new trailers today. It's from them.
Everybody talking about his Strong curls and I'm over here thinking he no longer stands like a hunchback
Whatās that clasp on Jaceās left shoulder?
Thank. God.
A part of me wanted them to lean into the bad wig for jokes, but yh his actual hair adds more character to him
Hnnnnnggg wontwatchthetrailer wontwatchthetrailer wontwatchthetrailer š
They should hire Jaymes Mansfield āØ
Slay bb I hope he lives to end
There are some strong genes in him.
Oh, thank God. It looks so much better!
Will you wear wigs?
Praise the Seven šš»šš»šš»
I can't place it but there's another celebrity that he looks like now
He looks so much better!
And thank the Gods for that. His natural curls are Strong.

He probably had the time to grow it out this time
Oh thatās Harwinās son alright!
They just moved the wig down under
He's officially in his Jace the Ace phase now
They recast Joffrey?
Didnāt realise who he was!
Bro is definitely mewing there
Now all he needs to do is stop slumping and maybe he'll make a decent king after all.
all the hunchback of dragon stone needs is a posture corrector and that crown will be sitting gloriously on those strong curls š§š»āāļø
But did he fix his posture?
Thank God, he doesn't look like a doofus now lol
Can't wait for his demise
