Fans immediately took to the comment section to share their appreciation of the new style. One user wrote, “We feeling the blonde! It’s an amazing look on you, Brandon!”
A second fan added, “Sir. That blonde is a different kind of sexy. 😮💨.”
Fans will remember Claybon originally showed off the new look following the wrapping of production of Season 2, as the actor took to Instagram with his fresh new look with the caption, “Vacation starts now! Let’s Go! 😎.”
It is currently unknown whether Claybon will be able to maintain his fresh look when production on Season 3 begins, or if he will have to revert to his original look.
On-screen, Claybon’s character Martin Richardson is having an eventful year. Having just won his congressional primary, the congressman is up for reelection this November and is hot on the campaign trail. Recently, members of The Young and the Restless Genoa City came to Fairmount Crest to show their support, including the great Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman).
Elsewhere in Martin’s life, his eldest son Tyrell Richardson is going off to Banneker University, while his husband Smitty (Mike Manning) is in the midst of reporting on an investigation as to the identity of the head of a criminal enterprise working on the trading of blood plasma on the red market entitled The Impaler, little does he know hes closer to her than he ever believed as Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones) is the Impaler and knows that Smitty is investigating and is determined to get him off her trail.
