Kris Marshall debuts new look worlds away from Beyond Paradise character
Beyond Paradise star Kris Marshall appeared on Thursday's episode of This Morning
Kris Marshall looked almost unrecognisable as he debuted a new look worlds away from his Beyond Paradise character.
The actor, 52, appeared on Thursday’s episode of This Morning to talk about the upcoming episodes of his hit BBC spin-off detective series.
Kris played DI Humphrey Goodman in Death in Paradise from 2014 to 2017 before reprising the role once again in the hit spin-off, Beyond Paradise, which first aired in 2023.
Talking about the new series of Beyond Paradise on This Morning, Kris looked almost unrecognisable as he debuted a new look with much longer hair down to his shoulders, which is a contrast to his typical short-haired look.

It comes as Kris expressed heartfelt praise for one of his co-stars. Jamie Bamber, who plays Martha Lloyd’s (Sally Bretton) former flame Archie, initially departed Beyond Paradise at the end of series one after attempting to kiss the cafe owner.
However, he returned to Shipton Abbott in series three, sparking an unexpected romance with Humphrey’s colleague, Esther Williams (Zahra Ahmadi).
Discussing Jamie’s return, Kris shared: “Working with Jamie is fantastic. It’s nice to have another actor of a similar age and experience on set, especially since we have both been in the industry since the 90s.
“Although we didn’t know each other well back then, we have a lot of mutual friends, and it’s great to have someone around who shares that history. Jamie is a seasoned actor and a lovely person who brings a lot of fun to the set.”

He added: “We get along really well, and it’s always a pleasure working with him.”
Despite Archie kissing Martha in series one, the actor admitted the detective “doesn’t feel threatened” by his return. Kris continued: “He’s always been a confident and emotionally strong person, and he’s very secure in his relationship with Martha.
“In past series, his issues stemmed from Archie working so closely with Martha but this time, Humphrey isn’t concerned. He’s more bemused than anything else. He isn’t losing sleep over it and is accepting of the situation.”
Beyond Paradise is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
