Former One Direction singer Zayn Malik has opted for a new look — and it’s freaking out longtime fans.
The 24-year-old British pop star recently shaved his head completely bald — though he maintained a stubbly beard — in advance of the Sept. 7 release of the video for his new single with Sia, “Dusk Till Dawn.”
On Sunday, the singer’s mom, Trisha Malik, posted a pic of her son with the new look — along with his girlfriend, model Gigi Hadid.

It didn’t take long for the Twitterverse to tear its own hair out.
“The world is really ending,” one wrote, while another offered a plea, “That better be a bald cap.”
Many saw a resemblance to Will Farrell’s title character in the animated movie “Megamind” — presumably without the blue skin.
Read some of the responses below.
