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" 😋

Improvement Although he still does look like Kerry Katona

🤭

I don’t find him attractive tbh, but the new haircut is a big improvement.

Weeellokthen · 23/08/2026 19:05

No male should ever wear their hair in a bun 🤑
I'm also a tad disturbed that people find him handsome 😂

He does! I can't unsee it now.

Springbuck · 23/08/2026 20:05

He seems like a really lovely man and yes, the haircut is definitely a massive improvement.
But I really can’t see the attraction.

Erling is amazing

Love his new hair cut

Much better. Long straight hair looked daft on him to be honest.

In fact that hair looks daft on the majority of men.

PrettyLittleRose · 23/08/2026 20:14

I can't see any likeness to Kerry Katona in him though. Confused

ihadamarvelloustimeruiningeverything · 23/08/2026 20:24

I prefer his hair longer but he’s still cute and seems so nice

PlumColouredBedding · 23/08/2026 20:25

Ah I loved his long hair! He's so cute

StrongandNorthern · 23/08/2026 20:27

God no!
It's absolutely awful.

Yes! I was trying to work out who he reminds me of. I think it’s more obvious now his hairstyle is less distracting.

JustGiveMeReason · 23/08/2026 21:13

Can't say he is attractive to look at, but the new haircut is a vast improvement.

He comes across as being such a nice man though, which I do find more attractive than any looks.

Hopefully all the copycats will shave off their ridiculous man buns too.

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

Me neither. He's very unfortunate looking. Not that it matters if he's good at football which i presume he is 🤷‍♀️

There is an American comedian/singer Tim Hawkins and he has a song Man Bun, whenever I see a man with a man bun I always smile as I think of this song. It's on you tube. I was on a train recently and a man smiled back at me and I was thinking I'm not smiling because I like your man bun. The man actually looked ridiculous and seemed to have the air of how cool he looked. DH told me about Tim and I just said I was thinking about Tim Hawkins song and he smiled as well.

I hope his mum isn't reading this 😭
I think he's got a lovely face! 😄

somewhereintheworld · 23/08/2026 22:35

He's my favourite footballer. Love his new hair 😍

RaraRachael · 23/08/2026 22:52

It wouldn't matter what hairstyle he had.

ShouldKnowBetterButNeverLearn · 24/08/2026 05:34

I was watching a bit of Match of the Day yesterday in the morning and saw his new short hairstyle. So much better!
Not that I find him attractive anyway although I'm probably double his age and I'm sure he doesn't care! 😂

CrocsNotDocs · 24/08/2026 05:39

I find him strangely attractive. I think it’s because I am a strapping 6ft tall woman and he could easily fling me over his shoulder and carry me off.

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 think his dad played for Leeds, didn't he?

Not a fan of a buzz cut but he does look a bit more normal now! Although actually I don't know if that's a good thing 😀

PhaseFour · 24/08/2026 06:25

I think his buzz cut looks really good. I am weirdly obsessed with him. There's just something about him! The fact that he seems like a genuinely funny & kind person just adds to it.
