The 34-year-old retired NFL pro turned broadcaster traded in his usual sleek coif for a spiky, gelled-up style that gave total boyband vibes.
“Ever change your hair and wonder if anyone will notice? They notice,” the former defensive end shared onX, formerly known as Twitter.
“I, for one, thought it was a good look @JJWatt,” Fieri responded to Watt’s tweet, adding his own seal of approval to Watt’s unexpected hair transformation.

Watt wasn’t the only celebrity at the Super Bowl debuting a new hairdo.Lizzo, 35, also ensured she stood out, sporting a look that paid homage to both football teams playing. She rocked a red mullet, complete withshaggy bangsand long layers in the back. It’s likely that her hairstyle is a wig, however, given the artist is a total hair chameleon.
Though Lizzo didn’t explicitly confirm which team she was rooting for, her presence seemed more geared towards cheering on halftime performer Usher. In a post on Instagram, she referred to the Super Bowl as the “Usherconcert,” hinting at her excitement for his halftime performance.
