Well hello there Matthew Crawley! Would you look at the head on him? Seems Dan Stevens has ditched those luscious Downton Abbey locks and shed a few pounds (not like he needed to in fairness though) since he left the show and headed off to America. *sob*

The actor was out and about for GLAAD Media Awards in New York over the weekend. He's been based in the Big Apple for quite some time now, having jetted out last year to star alongside Jessica Chastain on Broadway in 'The Heiress'.

We hear the weight loss has somethjing to do with his upcoming role as a heroin trafficker (yes, you did read that correctly) in A Walk Among the Tombstones, a movie adaptation of Lawrence Bloc's novel about an ex-cop's search for a drug dealer's missing wife. Our own Liam Neeson is in it too, by the by.

Ah sure, he may as well move on, sure won't they be finding a new fella for Lady Mary this season? As for the transformation, we like Dan, we like.
