Surely that's against the Law! Actor Jude debuts a questionable mohawk hairstyle as he takes to the stage at Letters Live

He confused fans in early 2015 when his thinning hair mysteriously took on a fluffier, fuller quality.

But that was a mere sideshow to the fetching new style Jude Law attempted to pull off during an appearance in London on Tuesday evening.

The celebrated actor, 43, appeared to have teased his hair into a rather questionable looking mohawk ahead of a welcome visit to annual literary event Letters Live.

Posing for photos shortly after arriving at cavernous venue Freemason's Hall, Jude's enduringly handsome features were overshadowed somewhat by his curious new look. 

The British star did however look typically smart in a fitted two-piece suit and crisp white shirt while rubbing shoulders with fellow attendees - among them Monty Python star Michael Palin. 

The celebrity contingent also included comedians Julian Clarey and Omid Djalili, presenter Edith Bowman and TV veteran Nicholas Parsons.

Elsewhere Palin read correspondence from film producer Mark Forstater to Michael White, in which he tells him he "would like to retain ‘fart’ in your general direction.” 

Bowman read a letter from the late John Peel to Matthew Bannister, while  Clarey was given the honor of bringing to public consciousness a letter from Kenneth Williams to Frances Meredith.

Perhaps the biggest honour of the evening went to Parsons, who read a letter from Roald Dahl to Queen Elizabeth, in which he advises her to "Try & be a Dinketysnipsy Girl."
