‘Bro Out Here Looking Like He Is 32’: Marlon Wayans’ New Haircut Has Fans Bringing Up His Youthful Appearance 

Just when fans thought Marlon Wayans couldn’t appear any younger, the 50-year-old shocked his millions of Instagram followers after debuting a new shaven look. 

Before Wayans’ drastic cut, the “White Chicks” star would rock his natural hair in a faded mohawk style. 

In the post shared on Aug. 25, Wayans, who was seen wearing a green sweater with olive green sweats and black shoes, showcased his buzzcut as he posed in an undisclosed location. 

Although the comedian didn’t disclose the reason behind his new look, he did write in the caption, “Short hair, don’t care.”

As many individuals viewed the upload, many expressed how youthful Wayans looked since cutting his hair. 

“Man you looking young as ever broski.”

“Bro out there looking like he is 32.”

“You are aging backwards! SUCH a handsome man Marlon & one of my favorite Wayans.”

“Man 50 wherreeeeee you still look as handsome as you did when I first saw you on T.V.”

“Uncle Marlon you looking better with age!”

Among the previous responses, others brought up that they preferred this look on Wayans. One wrote, “I love this look.” Another said, “That’s a good look, Unk. Keep it right there.” A third Instagram user posted while mentioning Wayans’ faded mohawk hairstyle, “Def a good look for you. Not sure what the other one was.”

Wayans recent hair change comes weeks after he informed his fans about how he intends to live his life following his 50th birthday. 

The “Scary Movie” star said, while sharing an image of himself posing on top of what appears to be a vintage Buick Skylark, “[Lived] 50 years concerned about everyone’s feelings except my own… man, F–k y’all feelings. My life, my dash, my smile, my light… done. Not a new chapter, page one rewrite.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
