It's hair of the Doug...

HUNK Dougray Scott will set his female fans' pulses racing after sporting flowing locks and a goatee for his latest blockbuster.

As our picture shows the sexy Fife-born star had hair extensions put in for his latest film role in To Kill A King. The movie, set in the English Civil War, sees Scott playing General Lord Thomas Fairfax alongside gorgeous Olivia Williams as his wife, Anne.

The Mission Impossible 2 star has a lot riding on the film which will be released here next month.

During production it twice ran out of money and Dougray, 37, eventually stumped up GBP 70,000 from his own bank account to pay cast and crew.

But the investment appears to have been worth it, according to critics who attended sneak previews of the film in London.

Scott will also leave fans breathless with his passionate clinches during the 17th century romp.

The Enigma actor said: "Fairfax was a brilliant tactician, a soldier who cared about his men, ensured they were properly clothed and aid - but he could be ruthless."
