Embarrassing Celebrity Haircuts, From Brad Pitt to Justin Timberlake
Embarrassing Celebrity Haircuts, From Brad Pitt to Justin Timberlake
Celebrities aren't immune to bad haircuts—especially given the pressure they feel to make an impression on the red carpet. But some hairstyles are better than others. From the outrageous styles of the '70s to the cringe-worthy "butt cuts" of the '90s, some of the most famous men in the world have gone through some terrible hair phases—and here's proof.
Russell Brand
This sloppy and untamed haircut from the outspoken comedian is hard to look at. Brand is unapologetic about many things, and most likely doesn't care what you think about his hair either.
Jared Leto
Did you know Leto went through an emo phase? Unfortunately, this outdated style doesn't do the actor any favors.
Kevin Pietersen
The former English cricketer generally kept a short, well-groomed haircut—so this spiky look with a center blonde stripe he once sported is puzzling, to say the least.
Axl Rose
Rock stars like Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose are known for wild haircuts, but this odd braided style with a red and yellow pattern is not his best look.
Robert Pattinson
The Twilight actor is usually dapper and sharp on the red carpet, so when he showed up sporting this buzzed haircut with a stripe in the back, everyone let out a collective "What?"
Donald Trump
Many people have often wondered why Trump's hair appears so... well, odd. The thinning hair, the combover, the shape, it's all quite confusing.
Shia LaBeouf
We're not sure what statement the actor was trying to make here, but it's a style that his barber should never have agreed to.
Carrot Top
When your stage name is directly correlated to your hairstyle, we get that you have to maintain that look forever. It's not necessarily a cut we recommend you try, however.
Justin Beiber
The man loves to experiment with different hairstyles, but we were glad when we finally moved on from this look.
Boris Johnson
The British politician's most formidable foe? A windy day outside.
Bradley Cooper
Luckily for Cooper, he only had to wear this hairstyle while on set for a film.
Brad Pitt
We're not sure why Brad felt the need to undergo a disheveled-homeless look with his hair and beard, but we're glad it was just a phase.
Jonah Hill
There are ways to tame and style a head of thick curly hair, but this is not it.
George Clooney
We can forgive George for caving and getting this trendy cut in the '80s, especially since he's kept it clean-cut and short ever since.
Justin Timberlake
These noodle-like blonde curls were not the best hair years for the former NSYNC singer.
Mario Lopez
The entire cast of Saved by the Bell had questionable haircuts from the '90s, so this look isn't that surprising.
Pat Sharp
Hopefully the era of mullets will never be brought back, as this classic-but-terrible style worn by British DJ and TV host Pat Sharp demonstrates.
Billy Ray Cyrus
Another example of why the mullet should never come back.
John Stamos
Oh you want one more? Easy. Stamos was just as guilty of rocking this look.
Paul Pogba
The French soccer player and midfielder has way too many things going on here.
Josh Duhamel
The way he slicked back his mohawk while the rest of his head is buzzed off is inexcusable.
Jude Law
We get you're trying to cover your receding hairline but did you have to dye it that shade of blonde, too?
Johnny Depp
Messy, frizzy, and poor highlighting job. Enough said.
Rod Stewart
The era of cockatoo hairstyles was a dark one for sure.
Joaquin Phoenix
We have to wonder if Phoenix just gave up on this day. Surely there's no barber to blame for this look.
Joel Madden
These are two colors we hope to never see together on a head again.
David Beckham
We tried to block this hair phase from our minds years ago, but it's come back to haunt us.
Chris Hemsworth
How to make a handsome movie star look bad? Questionable bangs, a messy side part, and untrimmed ends. We're getting serious Lisa Rinna vibes here.
Keith Richards
Not even the headband can save this look.
Andre Agassi
This is why the tennis star should've worn a hat all those years.
Dee Snider
Heavy metal singers get some leeway with their hair choices, but this is a style best left untouched.
Mario Balotelli
The Italian soccer player may be great on the field, but he could use a lesson or two on how not to style his hair.
Penn Badgley
The center part and mop-like 'do make Badgley look juvenile.
Adrian Young
We give the No Doubt drummer's peculiar hairstyle a thumbs down.
Tom Brady
When you don't know which way to comb your hair so you just try everything.
Patrick Dempsey
Everything about this is just bad. We'll say what everyone is thinking: Dempsey is a long way from McDreamy here.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Who could forget the "butt cut" of the '90s? DiCaprio was amongst its many victims.
Colin Farrell
Farrell presents a classic case of how not to style a man bun.
Zayn Malik
Why didn't he just dye the whole thing?
Simon Cowell
The producer and TV judge's awkward center part has become a part of his signature look, but we wish it would go away.
Three words: ramen noodle curls.
