The Golden Globe winner has also been using Instagram to share his hair story — and to show off his styling skills for his “post Randall looks.”
“As you all can see been letting this mop grow out a little bit,” he said in anInstagram videoshared last week, addressing questions on whether his new hair was for a role.
While he admitted that it was, he also said that he’s prepared to “just go as far as I can until somebody tells me I gotta cut it off for my next job.”
With his hair “full and thick” he can be more experimental – “I got options, I can pass that like Stockton (shout out to Harlow)” he concluded, referring to lyrics fromJack Harlow’s hit song “Whats Poppin”.
Inanother slide, he shared a tutorial on how he combs out his part, a look he calls “The Finisher”.
