You know you’ve reached a rarified stratum of fame when changing your hairstyle makes headline news and sparks online frenzy...
And Erling Haaland definitely falls in that exclusive category.
The 26-year-old viral star of this year’s World Cup has shocked fans by ditching his signature flowing locks and debuting a dramatically shorter haircut.
That’s right, the lion’s mane is no more. The glorious Norwegian locks have been sheared.
The majestic blond tresses have been cut down in their prime. We’ll stop there.
Haaland took to social media on Sunday (23 August) to share his new hairstyle, ahead of the new Premier League season and Manchester City’s opening match against Bournemouth.
"New season, new trim," Haaland wrote in the caption... And it didn't take long for the post to go viral, with fans flooding the comment section with their reactions.
Much like David Beckham when he chopped his locks in 2000 and went for the buzzcut, The Striking Viking’s haircut has divided opinions.
"I’m gone for one hour, and Haaland has short hair, sure” wrote one user on X, while another wrote: “Erling Haaland cutting his hair is worse than when Keri Russell cut her hair on Felicity, this looks so awful omg.”
