And on Tuesday evening, Matt embraced a longer mane of hair once again as he attended a photo call for his latest movie, Jason Bourne.

Looking casual but smart in a black shirt rolled up at the sleeves and matching trousers, Matt took questions from the Chinese media about his return to the popular movie franchise.

Later in the day, Matt switched things up and wore a stylish suit and tie to a screening of the film, which sees him return to the titular role after a nine-year absence.

Many fans will be delighted by the return of Matt's ponytail, after it made its debut in July last year during a press conference for his upcoming movie, The Great Wall, with the do quickly garnering its own Twitter account.

Matt confessed the long mane was a key part of his character, and the reappearance of his extensions hint that some additional shooting is being done for the movie while the star is back in the country.

Speaking to chat show host Graham Norton later in the year, Matt said: "I did a movie in China and I was there for about five months with that thing, and then we did a press conference at the very end.

"There are 700 hair extensions, it was a full day to put them in... and then I had to manage it.

"I have a whole new appreciation for my wife and daughters — it’s very hard to do."
