ERLING HAALAND....new hair! He is definitely in the hunky look now, thought he looked like a dolphin 🐬 with the long hair 🤣. Definitely a "glow up" 😋

Can't believe I googled Haaland new haircut but I did, and yes, definitely better!

Mycatisreal · 23/08/2026 16:29

Better than the silly man bun but nope, still not for me

My son and I were talking about Erling Haarland yesterday -we talk a lot about football although not generally about English top flight football. Didn't know he had a new hair cut but having just googled him it's definitely an improvement. But for us the thing that intrigues us most about Erling Haarland is the fact he was born in Leeds! He is just too exotic for Leeds!

I love Erling! His haircut is so cute.

My ds (8) has been growing his hair for 18m to be like his, he's so annoyed! It was just at the point of being like his!

At least it was a BBC football website article that was not about Manchester United.

I don't care about his haircut, more about his performances on the field.

stetha · 23/08/2026 16:46

I don't find him attractive at all so as long as he is happy with his hair!

I feel like only someone over the age of 55 would refer to a man as being 'hunky'? 😂

Was he!! I didnt know that. I only seen the haircut because I was bored and read the paper online. He is definitely exotic 🤣. Wonder if he has pickled herring for breakfast 🤔 🤣.

Ahem. No such thing as too exotic for Leeds .

SerendipityCat · 23/08/2026 16:53

I have a soft spot for Erling - he was born in Leeds, like so many of the best people - and I have to admit the new buzz cut suits him better. Unfortunately, he still looks like he was moulded out of plasticine, and I’m afraid he won’t ever be on my “hunky” list. Sorry, op.

Theresmagicwheretheflowersgrow · 23/08/2026 16:55

I love him 😂

I think he only did it yesterday (I stand to be corrected).

He does at least look human now.

Dont be sorry, im still quite shocked at myself 😳. I am hormonal right now...maybe its that 🤣.

Yes, much better. He doesn’t do it for me, but I do like him. He’s got personality, sadly lacking in a lot of today’s footballers.

BebbanburgIsMine · 23/08/2026 18:25

I don’t find him attractive at all, but that new haircut is awful, hate cropped hairstyles. Much prefer the long hair.

beaglescurleduplikebagels · 23/08/2026 18:48

Oooh, no. I much prefer the old style.

Frendslikethese · 23/08/2026 18:49

Improvement Although he still does look like Kerry Katona
