EastEnders' Keanu Taylor actor Danny Walters unveils new look amid soap twist

EastEnders favourite Keanu Taylor, played by actor Danny Walters, has a very distinctive look on the BBC soap, and has done since his arrival back in 2017.

But the Walford hunk could be about to look very different, if recent pictures of the actor are anything to go by.

In fact Danny who plays the mechanic has undergone a slight transformation of sorts in recent weeks, amid his character being centre stage in a shocking new storyline.

Keanu is currently being framed for an attack on Phil Mitchell by his troubled son Ben, when viewers actually know it was Stacey Fowler who hit Phil over the head with a wrench.

Ben has been jealous of Keanu for months, and with Phil since replacing him in his will with Keanu it’s spurred him on to get rid of his rival.

Back to Keanu though, and fans might have noticed the actor looking a little different in recent Instagram snaps.

While the makeover is yet to occur on screen, in new snaps the star is fronting a fuller hair do while previously having a shaved head.

Danny appears to be growing his hair out, whether this is temporary or not, while he’s also sporting more facial hair.

Could it hint that Keanu many go down for Phil’s attack, or has the actor just decided to go back to his look pre-Walford fame?

After all, the actor did shave his locks for the role on the BBC soap, previously having a full head of hair.

Danny looked very different on Benidorm (ITV)

Benidorm fans may remember him from his time on the ITV comedy series, when he played Tiger.

He looks almost unrecognisable from the character now, with him initially having a short brunette hair do - so maybe he’s simply going back to his former appearance.

Either way fans will no doubt be suspicious over Keanu’s fate thanks to the new look, but with Ben losing control here’s hoping his plan to frame Keanu will fall flat!

EastEnders airs Mondays and Fridays at 8pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One.
