David Beckham turns back time as he returns to his buzzcut and mocks his ever-changing hairstyles (after he expressed regret about THOSE cornrows)
David Beckham has worked his way through a plethora of hairstyles during his time in the public eye.
From a mohawk to ponytails, cornrows and bleached blonde hair, he’s never been afraid to experiment and has become synonymous with edgy dos.
And it looks like the former footballer, 48, isn’t done yet, after debuting a new buzzcut on his Instagram Stories on Sunday.
The star offered the camera a serious pose as he stared into the camera and took a selfie of his new look, which was reminiscent of his Manchester United days in the 2000s.
Captioning the photo, he wrote, “Not much changes, I’m bored of my hair, cut it off,” in a move that came after he gave an interview about his haircuts and admitted he was most ashamed of his cornrows from 2003.
