House of the Dragon Season 3 introduces Prince Daeron Targaryen, the third son of Alicent Hightower and King Viserys. One peculiar aspect of Prince Daeron is his red hair, while other Targaryen children are blonde. However, many believe that red is not the natural color of Daeron's hair. Much like his other brothers, Daeron's hair is also blonde, but Ormund regularly dyes the teen's hair red.Many point to episode 3's twist as an example that Ormund is dyeing his nephew's hair red. If you remember, Ormund presents Daemon with a blond-haired boy as Daeron. Daemon takes this boy hostage, and Ormund's deception is not discovered until the last act of the episode. The boy informs Rhaenyra that Ormund dyed his hair blonde before presenting him to Daemon as a hostage.Thus, some theorize that Ormund might be doing the same with Daeron as well. This week, actor Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, who plays Daeron in House of the Dragon, addressed this theory.House Of The Dragon - What did Benjamin Evan Ainsworth say about the popular Daeron Targaryen theory?Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Daeron Targaryen, House of the Dragon (Image via Instagram/@houseofthedragonhbo)ScreenRant's Jordan Williams interviewed Ainsworth after "Faceless Men", the sixth episode's release. In that interview, Williams asked the British actor if Ormund was regularly dyeing his nephew's hair. To the question, the actor said that he can't confirm it either way. The actor's exact words were:"I mean, the thing is, it's probably not far out of the realm of possibility for a character like Ormund Hightower. And there's something quite ominous and creepy about the image of him dyeing my hair every week or something like that. Just that proximity is just odd. I can't say that it's true or not, but it's certainly something interesting either way."The theory posits that Ormund dyeing Daeron's hair has two purposes, with the first one being strategic. Dyeing Daeron Targaryen's hair red saved the young prince's life in House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 3. However, the theory suggests that there might be another sinister purpose behind Ormund's actions.The fourth episode depicts an extremely dysfunctional relationship between Ormund and Daeron: View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe fourth episode, "Tumbleton", is the first time Prince Daeron Targaryen played a major role in the HBO series, though he was introduced early in the season. It revealed that Ormund intends to make Daeron the new king, even if the young prince doesn't want to be a ruler. It also suggests that Ormund is abusive towards the young boy, and this week's episode only further confirms it.In the last act of the fourth House of the Dragon Season 3 episode, Daeron is bonding with his blue-colored dragon Tessarion when Ormund walks in on them and admonishes the young boy for being affectionate with the creature. Tessarion hisses at Ormund but is unable to do anything. But the dragon's reaction to Ormund's presence suggests that he doesn't treat Daeron with respect.Ormund's disdain for the dragon and his speaking dismissively of Daeron's father suggests that he is determined to groom the Targaryen prince as a Hightower. Ormund dyeing Daeron's hair red could also be a part of his schemes to get the young boy to act like a Hightower and not a Targaryen.What do you think of this House of the Dragon theory?
