PopUps: Zayn Malik Debuts Scruffy New Beard, Haircut
As former One Directioner Zayn Malik prepares to release his first solo album and single, the 22-year-old singer seems to be also slowly unveiling a new look.
Taking to Twitter Thursday, the U.K. pop star posted a shirtless selfie, showing off his thick new scruffy beard and his new bleach-blond haircut.
The tweet received more than 140,000 likes and 94,000 retweets.
Though Zayn has always had some sort of stubble, the latest pic is a full-on beard. He posted a few pics this week on Instagram, marking his progress. Last month, the singer posted a pic on Twitter showing off his grey hair and bushy beard.
Over the summer, Zayn announced he signed a record deal with RCA Records. When speaking with the Fader last month, his first interview since leaving One Direction, Zayn teased a new song called "Befour."
