Soccer icon David Beckham has debuted a dramatic new buzz cut hairstyle, channeling his iconic look from the 2000s. On August 13, Beckham shared a selfie showing off his freshly shaved head, cropped very close to the scalp.
“Nothing much changes get bored of my hair chop it off,” Beckham wrote, adding a laughing emoji. While the 47-year-old has experimented with various hairstyles over the decades, from curtains to faux hawks, it’s been years since fans have seen him go this short.
Beckham’s latest style is a throwback to his signature buzz cut from the 2000s, when he sported even more hair on his face. His newly grown stubble pairs perfectly with the cropped cut for a bold transformation.
The football legend is known for starting major hair trends, and his 20-year-old son Romeo is already following suit. Romeo posted his own selfie debuting a matching buzz cut with shaved stripe, copying his dad’s iconic Y2K look.
Beckham has inspired legions of fans with his soccer skills and style over the years. Now his revived buzz cut is sure to spark another wave of copies. While the star looks great in any hairstyle, the dramatic cut shows he can still pull off his classic 2000s look today.
