“Cross” star Ryan Eggold said people thought his decision to go blonde for his role as serial killer Ed Ramsey was rooted in an effort to channel veteran rapper Eminem.

“No, I was not going for Slim Shady,” Eggold told TheWrap after asking reporter Raquel Harris if she thought his look mirrored the iconic Detroit artist, who was once known for rocking a bleach blonde hair style during the early 2000s. “Lately people were like, ‘Were you doing an Eminem thing?’ I’m like, ‘What? No, he’s a killer. No.”

Eggold stars as Ed Ramsey the villain in the “Cross” Season 1.
