Strike's leading man, Tom Burke, seldom fails to set audiences' hearts ablaze as the UK's most beloved emotionally unavailable private detective.
His on-screen will-they-won't-they relationship with Holliday Grainger's character, Robin Ellacott, continues to captivate the hearts of the nation, but behind the scenes, Tom certainly isn't as dishevelled as his army veteran persona.

Posing alongside his co-stars, the ever-so-glamorous Anya Taylor-Joy and Hollywood hunk Chris Hemsworth, Tom sported a glowing suntan, pearly white teeth, and a slick haircut—almost unrecognisable from his detective's iconically untidy appearance.
It's safe to say Tom has had a style makeover from his early days in the limelight—from stepping out on the red carpet with long brunette locks and a flowing beard back in 2014 to posing up a storm on the French Riviera in the chicest outfits we can imagine just months ago.
If one thing is for sure, it's that Tom Burke is ageing like a fine wine!
