Sami Zayn Hits Back At Critics Over His Hairstyle
The conversation has gotten so much out of hand that Sami has been compared to Fidel Castro, in appearance only, of course. But for all the comments, does it bother him? Well, here is what he had to say:
“It’s funny that you say it’s getting under people’s skin. I actually get that comment a lot. ‘Cut your hair. Shave your beard.’ What’s your problem? What do you care? It’s the strangest thing. It offends people to be this unkempt. It offends people.
He continued by stressing how strange the comments were: “It’s really strange. Like, it’s something you would have heard in the 70s. ‘Cut your hair, hippy.’ But it’s 2021. How can this bother you? Anyways, whatever. I digress. If it helps get under people’s skin in any way or helps me be any more unlikable, then I like it.
“And I do think, especially now, because of the conspiracy theorist sort of skew on the character, it kinda goes hand in hand with that. It looks like someone who’s been holed up in his basement a little while, going down a YouTube rabbit hole, and now he’s paranoid. Too much coffee. God knows what. That’s kind of the aesthetic I’m going for a little bit.”
But the question remains, where did his inspiration for the hair come from? He added: “I had an inspiration early on from; I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the movie, Kingpin. Bill Murray’s character in Kingpin and the big game when his hair starts going little by little. That was a bit of an inspiration for me. I wanted to have that look.
“Or Bret Hart from a more practical point of view, where he’d come out looking one way, but then as the match progressed, he looked a different way, and it kind of gave off the effect that this person’s going through hell and they’re in a war.”
It looks like Sami will not be backing down anytime soon. Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
