Wow! Liam Payne appears to have joined in with the rest of the nation with a slight change of style in lockdown, as he debuted a rugged new look on Instagram on Thursday, complete with a bushy beard and long hair

Liam chatted about his upcoming LP gig, a live stream on Saturday, however his concert was not what fans were focused on in the selfie video. 

He soared to fame in One Direction in 2010, alongside Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, during which he boasted long floppy locks.

In recent years however, he has sported a slicker style with a quiff and rugged beard, however the absence of barbers in lockdown has left him slightly biblical. 

Fans penned: ‘LOOK AT THAT HAIR BROTHER!!!!!!… he looks like Jesus… he looks like Jesus Christ doesn’t he? lol… I mean how jesus is represented in the movies…

His new look comes shortly after Liam said that becoming a father to his three-year-old son, who he shares with his ex-girlfriend Cheryl, made him fall in love with Christmas again and has ‘reignited’ the festivities.     

The singer admitted the time of year has ‘always felt a little bit hollow’ to him in the past, but he now understands the true meaning of the holiday.

He said during an interview with People: ‘For me, it really reignited Christmas. I moved away from home at 17, so Christmas kind of took on a new meaning. 

‘It was great to be able to shower people with gifts and make everybody feel welcome, but Christmas always felt a little bit hollow for some reason. Now he’s kind of filled that hole for me and I understand it all over again.’

While Bear was previously too young to fully understand the festive day, Liam confirmed he now ‘completely gets it’ and loves watching Christmas movies.   

He added: ‘He completely gets it now! He’s been watching Home Alone and “Merry Christmas, you filthy animal,” was one of his first phrases,’ which Liam confirmed is ‘absolutely hilarious’.
