After a string of flops at the box office, Johnny Depp has now made a poor choice during his latest trip to the hair salon.

The 50 year-old Lone Ranger star debuted his new 'do at Saturday's BFI London Film Festival Awards event, presenting his Sleepy Hollow and Dark Shadows co-star Christopher Lee with the BFI Fellowship honor. Depp is known for his varying looks according to whichever film project he's currently enlisted, but there's no word yet as to whether or not the bleach blonde choice is his own or for an upcoming movie role.
