Even McAvoy himself thought he'd be bald in First Class, and accidentally shaved his head for the role.

His big day finally does come in X-Men: Apocalypse, though. When the time came for him to chop off all of those luscious locks he had a pal on standby for support: Patrick Stewart.

The duo teamed up for a few scenes in Days of Future Past, so it was little wonder Stewart was eager to ask his younger self to send some of the spare hair his way.

We're digging the new look, James. Will we dig the movie?
