The Top Ten Villain Wigs In Popular Culture
The Kurgan (Highlander) – Clancy Brown invents Pete Steele out of Type O Negative. You’re welcome.
Top Dollar (The Crow) – ooh, that voice, they say. Yes, and ooh, those long, shiny, dark-chestnut, mostly fake locks…
Robert Harley (The Favourite) – maybe not as villainous as others on this list, but the wiggage is Elton John level, and they didn’t have Luton vans to ferry you around in those days. Mice probably live in it.
Archibald Cunningham (Rob Roy) – just one wig-wearer among many and he may be outfopped by others but he definitely wins on bastard points. Plus, we’re convinced that had he not performatively doffed his faux ringlets before the final duel, they would have deflected the blow that killed him.
Immortan Joe (Mad Max: Fury Road) – his platinum mane is definitely not mediocre.
Aemond Targaryen (House of the Dragon) – again, there are many wigs and bigger villains, but he edges it with his Legolas-meets-Snake Plissken look.
Khan (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) – he’s genetically engineered, so that Nick Rhodes ‘do is 100% deliberate.
Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (Dune 2) – but he’s bald, you say? True, but this look was achieved by applying not just one but two bald caps to Austin Butler. It’s inverse wiggery, and what could be more villiainous than that?
Lucius Malfoy (various Harry Potter films) ‘I wanted to look like Caprice, but in the end I looked a lot more like Vanessa Feltz.’ We love you, Jason Isaacs.
Colonel William Tavington (The Patriot) – yes, Jason Isaacs again, but he’s wearing a wig and we think he’s the tits. So there.
