Joe Burrow looks like an 80s movie villain in viral long-hair photo and fans are obsessed
Apparently, all it takes to break the internet is one photo of Joe Burrow with long, dramatic locks. No new interview, no injury update, no trade buzz just curls, a football, and a menacing QB stare straight out of a retro yearbook.
A picture of the Bengals star QB rocking longer-than-usual hair is making the rounds online again, and let's just say: NFL fans are doing everything from crying laughing to thirst-tweeting like it's 2013 Tumblr.
Fans are losing it over Joe Burrow's long curls in resurfaced Bengals photo
Once twitter dropped the throwback-style pic, it was over. Fans saw Joe Burrow channeling peak teen-movie heartthrob energy, and the X replies went absolutely feral.
Some were stunned. Others are confused.
Most? Completely entertained.

It's giving: Netflix teen drama villain, Midwestern rock band lead singer, Guy who drives a vintage Camaro and never texts back
But also? It's giving confidence. Joe's always been the guy who knows he looks good. And with the internet losing it over this photo, he clearly knew what he was doing.
To be clear: Joe didn't show up at minicamp like this. This isn't his latest haircut debut. It's just a photo, likely old, possibly for media day or a promo shoot and yet somehow, it's got more reach than half the league's OTA footage combined.
There's something about this version of Burrow that's just too memeable. The fierce stare. The flowing locks. The Bengals jersey. It's giving 'villain in a lacrosse drama,' and fans can't get enough.
This isn't just an internet moment. It's a moment. A digital campfire around which NFL fans gather to joke, flirt, and photoshop Burrow into vintage movie posters.
And for a league that lives and breathes QB drama, it's kinda perfect. No hot takes. No controversies. Just hair, vibes, and a Bengals QB looking like he's about to steal your girl and your playoff hopes.
Whether you think he looks like 80s Batman, a soap opera villain, or just a dude who forgot to get a trim, one thing's clear: Joe Burrow is unintentionally owning the NFL timeline today.
And all it took... was a photo.

(Photo by Joe Sargent / GETTY IMAGES NORTH AMERICA / Getty Images via AFP)(Getty Images via AFP) After spending the last two seasons with the New York Jets, the four-time NFL MVP and former Super Bowl champion is entering a locker room that once had some harsh words for him. DeShon Elliott, who last year joked that the Jets should 'leave his ass in the retirement home.' Now that they're on the same team, Rodgers has addressed those comments, but with humility. ALSO READ| Aaron Rodgers injury update: Steelers QB slams helmet rules; 'I pulled a Joe Biden' 'Well, I think there's a great quote in a TV show that I enjoyed called Ted Lasso. Ted talks about one of his favorite quotes: be curious, not judgmental,' Rodgers said, according to Blitzburgh. 'And I think that's kind of how I wanted to approach this season and anybody that said anything, I try and put myself in their shoes as much as possible. And I respect the hell outta you and what you've accomplished in the game and your leadership from afar, it seems like you're the type of leader that I'd wanna play with. So when you said that I didn't take offense to that at all.' Elliott apologizes to Rodgers: 'I'm a troll, He's a GOAT' For his part, Elliott has already walked back the criticism, admitting it was more trolling than genuine hostility. 'I'm a troll. He's an All-Pro and he's a GOAT. He's going to be a gold jacket guy one day. Honestly, when he got here, we communicated, we talked, he's a great person and a great football player, so whoever the media's put out there is B.S.,' Elliott explained.

Micah Parsons gives ‘boom or bust' prediction on Cowboys, names bold MVP choice
The Dallas Cowboys have had a hard time past few years, and ESPN analyst and former NFL player Marcus Spears believes it's a 'boom or bust' situation for the team. Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys reacts on the sidelines during the NFL Preseason 2025 game between Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams.(Getty Images via AFP) The Cowboys finished the 2024-25 season 7-10 and missed the postseason due to quarterback Dak Prescott being sidelined with injuries. Two weeks ahead of the 2025 season, Prescott is back in shape, although rusher Micah Parsons has requested to be traded off, as reported by On3. 'I don't understand what has happened this offseason, but this is a boom or bust,' Spears said on Monday Night Countdown. 'This is like buying into a stock, and it could literally shoot through the roof, or you could lose all your life savings… "I'm trying to figure out, one, how they will get Micah back into the fold? Will it be a contract or will it be a force? Or will Micah say 'I ain't doing nothing until something happens.'' Also read: Von Miller makes surprising choice for GOAT quarterback. It's not Tom Brady Marcus Spears' Bold MVP Prediction Despite everything going on, Spears would still like to cut the Cowboys some slack and give them a winning chance if the team could negotiate terms with Parsons, and pair offensive addition George Pickens with CeeDee Lamb. 'Offensively, I think this team can be as dangerous as anybody if this young offensive line can come together,' he said. 'Dak Prescott, finally, has a No. George Pickens coming over from the Pittsburgh Steelers. We already know how good CeeDee Lamb is. "Can they get this run game going with this young offensive line? And I think Dak Prescott can be in the conversation for MVP. I think they have enough talent,' he added. By Stuti Gupta
