If you have strong opinions on Marouane Fellaini hair dos, then today is a momentous news day for you. Yes, today marks the first day of a transition. As of now, when it comes to Fellaini hair style jokes, it’s goodbye Sideshow Bob and hello Mickey Mouse. The Manchester United midfielder did a revealing interview and eye-catching photo shoot for GQ magazine, and behold the results:
The Belgian doesn’t have to go Walt Disney World anymore to get those Mickey Mouse ears that everyone wears on their heads when at the happiest place on Earth.

As you can see above, social media users and bloggers are having a ton of fun at Fellaini’s expense with this. In addition to the new and wild hair unveil, the GQ interview gave us a very interesting soundbite. Fellaini, a very polarizing player who often encompasses questionable tactics and spends a lot of time playing within the grey areas of the rules, claims his game is not about aggression.
“It think it’s easy for them to portray me as an aggressive player but I’m not,” Fellaini told Gentleman’s Quarterly.
“I try to play my game, I try my best to recover the ball quickly — that’s my job.”
I’m sure a lot of football observers will read that and say that themselves “hmmmm.” You don’t have to be a football observer to look at the hairstyle and say “wow!”
