The hair may be a tad too long for my liking, and you know what I think about shrubbery, but that open shirt is distracting me from all the detractions.
PIcture from this tweet here:
And then there is this slice of cream tart on the Uncle Vanya official website where they have a dedicated photography section:

Oй bay bay bay Астров! 😍
ETA: Just found some other versions of the pictures above – with a bit more to look at.
Blue and black work quite well together, especially when placed on orange chair.
I can’t get over the luxurious, wavy hair.
Very handy boots, Mr A. No tying laces for you, eh?

Look, the hair is objectively too long. Also, that hair can beckon and I will heed its call. Dayum!

Totally over the shrub. Time for clean shaven or scruff. Scruff is good.
That shirt is too tight. He needs to unbutton one or 2 more…

Shirt is too tight. More buttons need to be undone or the shirt just needs to come off. That’s my Professional Pervy Opinion!

That’s the hair/beard combo that he had during the World’s End premiere (my fave look!), and the hair he had for most of the DoS press tour. Loved it all then, and totally excited that it’s back! *swoon*

Yep, a familiar look, including the beardage. Still not a fan (of beard) but in fact it is probably a precaution on his part. *That* hair paired with stubble, and the stage would burn!

I just noticed the zip up boots. I won’t judge – all of mine but one pair have a zip up along with the lace up. Easy to get in and out of. The ONE pair I have that don’t zip – don’t lace up either and getting into them is a cardio work out I’d rather not do!

Yep, my favourite boots were also zip ups (with a fake lace-up at the front). Until the zip broke, that is. From then on I used the laces…

Reacting literally, I don’t think his shirt is that tight. Even over the biceps, it’s not stretched to the usual extremes. Maybe he’s re-learning 19th c.-style looseness. It has been awhile since he wore Thornton’s clothes, mind. 😆

If you zoom into the beard it looks so soft, and I love the long wavy locks. Having the time to grow his hair is a definite bonus to me.
