Joe Burrow's new platinum blonde buzz cut goes viral, draws Eminem comparisons

Joe Burrow surprised the internet on Tuesday by arriving at the first day of Cincinnati Bengals training camp with a platinum blonde buzz cut.

The handsome quarterback, 27, appears to have cut off his medium-length, darker hair last week and bleached it in preparation for the new season.

His dramatic new hairstyle quickly went viral, with some fans lamenting the loss of his thick hair while others appreciated the bold change.

The NFL star also sparked comparisons to Eminem, WWE star Cody Rhodes, and even Ryan Gosling’s Ken from “Barbie.”

“Joe Burrow pulling up to training camp like the real slim shady has ruined my day,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

“joe burrow learning what all men must learn – it doesn’t matter how good looking you are, your hair can make or break you,” another jokingly added.

“He looks so hot, and I will not stand for Joe Burrow slander,” a third user defended against the critics.

Additionally, another individual noted that the last time Burrow sported a bleached hairstyle — back in high school — he was almost “unstoppable.”

“i hope everyone in the nfl is afraid of buzzcut burrow season,” someone else agreed.

Burrow has been experimenting with bolder fashion choices since joining the league in 2020, including debuting his modeling career by walking the runway at the Vogue World: Paris 2024 fashion show last month.

The ex-LSU star made female NFL fans swoon when he hit the runway in a black Peter Do suit featuring satin lapels and an open back, with nothing underneath.

In an interview with Vogue, Burrow revealed that while he has “always loved clothes but never really understood the industry.”
