Matt Damon Debuts New Ponytail: Is His Hairstyle Hot or Not?!

Actor was in Beijing for a press conference

It's official, folks: Matt Damon has a ponytail. And we're digging it. 

The 44-year-old actor debuted his new look in Beijing, China on Thursday, during press conference for his forthcoming film The Great Wall at the Park Hyatt Hotel. 

Wearing a button-down shirt and basic blue jeans, the Bourne Identity star flaunted his hip new hairstyle—and a little bit of facial scruff—while flashing a beaming smile as he addressed the audience. 

While it's unclear if Damon's luscious locks are for an upcoming role, we think the father of four looks mighty fine with his new 'do. 

Watch out, Jared Leto, you may have some competition in the hair department...

PICS: Stars' changing hair color

Meanwhile, the trailer for Damon's new film The Martian was released earlier this month, which also stars Jessica Chastain, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Kristen Wiig.

The Good Will Hunting star plays astronaut Mark Watney, who fights to stay alive after being stranded on Mars by his NASA colleagues due to a storm.

Based on the bestselling book by Andy Weir, the Ridley Scott-directed film also stars Kate Mara, Sean Bean and Donald Glover. 

The Martian is set to hit theaters on Nov. 25, 2015.

Here's hoping Damon does press with that pony. 

Who knew that all Matt Damon needed to look like Taylor Lautners dad was a ponytail? Don't be mistaken for thinking I mean that in a bad way

I think Matt Damon's ponytail is like an adolescent reaction to Ben's divorce...

It's impressive how Matt Damon's hair is getting more publicity than the movie he'll start shooting soon.
