Joe Burrow is kicking off the NFL season with a fresh look.

The 27-year-old Cincinnati Bengals quarterback arrived to training camp on Tuesday, July 23, rocking a bleach blond buzz cut, a drastic change from his previous sandy blond waves. On Instagram, the team shared photos of Burrow showing off the head-turning transformation.

The athlete wore a bright pink T-shirt, tropical-print shorts, crew socks and slip-on shoes. He also carried an iPad in one hand and flashed a peace sign with the other.

“Guess who’s back 🎶,” the official Bengals account captioned the post, referring to a lyric from Eminem’s track “Without Me.”

The new style and colorful ensemble have fans drawing comparisons to the rapper’s signature look as well as Ryan Gosling’s character Ken in 2023’s Barbie.

“Went from Kevin McAllister to Slim Shady,” one user commented on the photos.

Another wrote, “He watched Barbie last night and listened to Eminem on the way in this morning.”

“New nickname: Joe Kenough,” a third joked.

Burrow recently shared that his friends “roasted” him for wearing a backless Peter Do suit at Vogue World: Paris.

“I’ve been roasted in just about every group chat I could possibly be roasted in,” the football pro said on the Monday, July 8, episode of the Pardon My Take podcast.

Burrow also shared that the daring look was unplanned. “I showed up and they gave it to me and I said, ‘Sure,'” he recalled.

He later added that despite thinking he looked “cool,” he was “fully prepared for all of the criticism and roasting I knew was coming my way.”

Burrow made his modeling debut alongside former LSU teammate Justin Jefferson at the June 23 event, which was part of Paris Fashion Week. He described the experience as being “out of my comfort zone.”

“Some might say I’ve gone Hollywood,” Burrow joked. “I went Hollywood for a week and now it’s time to lock in for football. So I think I’m allowed one week of Hollywood.”
