Famous for his long blond locks, the athlete recently got a fresh buzzcut — and documented it all on YouTube.
“New Season, New Hair!!” he titled his vlog, telling fans, “This beautiful blond hair, time to let it go.”

Though many an athlete sports a buzz cut, especially during the heat of high summer, it was most jarring as the soccer player is largely recognized by his flowing light-catching hair.
Now that his hair is gone, he’s going to have to lean into his other signature: his Birkin bag collection.
Who knows, he could now use them to tote around a long blonde wig … for those days he’s missing his more recognizable look.
