Gennaro Gattuso's Clean-Shaven Look Surprises Fans
Gennaro Gattuso, the legendary AC Milan midfielder, shaves his iconic beard for the first time in 22 years to raise funds for charity, revealing a softer appearance that contrasts with his fierce on-field persona.
Gennaro Gattuso, the former captain of AC Milan and a 2006 World Cup champion with Italy, has unveiled a clean-shaven look for the first time in 22 years. The 46-year-old, known for his rugged appearance and tenacious playing style, removed his signature beard to raise €10,000 for a men's health charity.
Currently managing Hajduk Split in Croatia, Gattuso undertook this transformation alongside defender Zvonimir Sarlija, who also shaved his beard for the cause. The initiative aimed to support men's health awareness, with both individuals appearing noticeably different post-shave.
Gattuso's new look has sparked discussions on social media, with many fans commenting on the stark contrast between his current appearance and the intimidating presence he maintained on the field. During his playing career with AC Milan and the Italian national team, Gattuso was renowned for his aggressive midfield dominance, earning him the nickname 'Rino,' meaning 'Rhino,' reflecting his relentless spirit.
