Jelly Roll reveals new look after shaving beard for 1st time in 10 years
Global News
'One of the reasons I even started growing a beard is I was so obese, it was just easier to cover up what was happening here,' Jelly Roll said as he pointed to his chin.
After days of anticipation, Jelly Roll has officially revealed his new look.
Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, 45, teased fans on Nov. 13 after she shared that the Save Me singer, 40, had decided he was ready to get rid of his facial hair for the first time in about a decade but never shared the finished results.
The country star took to Instagram on Thursday to debut the new look, joking that he thinks he now looks like a “Ninja Turtle.”
“By now you have probably figured out that I look like a Ninja Turtle,” he said in his video. “Crazy. One of the reasons I even started growing a beard is I was so obese, it was just easier to cover up what was happening here.”
Jelly Roll went on to discuss his recent Grammy nominations, including best contemporary country album and best country duo/group performance.
“When I was in Australia, I woke up and we were nominated for three Grammy nominations, y’all. When I made it to my first Grammy of the year, I had new artist. I thought to myself, ‘This will be the only time I’ll ever be at the Grammys.’ And to be coming back three years later with more nominations than I ever had is just — first of all, the gratitude, man,” the Wild Ones singer said.
“I don’t care what artists say, I don’t care what artists act like, I’m gonna tell you the real truth,” he added. “There’s not an artist in the world that didn’t grow up watching the Grammys when they were a kid and walk in their bedrooms afterwards and rehearse their speech.”
“Anyways, thank y’all for tuning into the vlog. Y’all make fun of me now and leave comments below about my double chin and how I thought my chin went at least a half inch further than it actually went. Failed science experiment, y’all,” Jelly Roll said.
