Here's What Pitbull Really Looks Like With Hair

Everyone who's ever been to a party or nightclub has probably heard Pitbull's music before. Armando Christian Pérez, who goes by the stage names Pitbull, Mr. Worldwide, and Mr. 305, is a successful rapper who has released popular albums with instantly recognizable songs. He has also collaborated with the likes of Jennifer Lopez and his longtime pal, Becky G.

The Miami native has made a name for himself as a hip hop star who knows how to get the party started, and his stage presence as well as his talents as a hype man have made his image as immediately identifiable as his tunes. He has rocked the same hairstyle for pretty much his entire time in the limelight, so it's honestly hard to imagine him with anything other than his closely-shaved coif.

When scrolling through Pitbull's Instagram, you'll see plenty of pictures of him rocking the bald look, but there are actually some photos of him sporting a mane floating around social media too!

After seeing Pitbull bald for over a decade, it's hard to imagine him with any kind of hairstyle — let alone hair. But early in his career, the musician rocked different looks. Back in 2001, during the Uncle Luke's "Something Nasty" tour in St. Louis, Missouri, a young Pitbull was unrecognizable. He shared a throwback video on his YouTube channel of him freestyle rapping while sporting cornrows. In order to have that hairstyle, a person needs their hair to be a certain length, which means Pitbull had longer hair back then to create that look.

A few years later, Mr. Worldwide sported a buzzcut, which honestly makes him look much different than he does now. Who knew even a little bit of hair could drastically change someone's appearance? While he was obviously younger in the early 2000s, the buzzcut seemingly works to make him look even more baby-faced.

Of course, Pitbull didn't rock the bald look as kid. In January 2021, Fame10 shared a cute throwback pic of the rapper in honor of his birthday. It appears to be a kindergarten graduation snapshot. While fans can't see much of young Pitbull's hair because of the graduation cap, they can see the hair on the sides of the hat. What a cutie!

A TikToker reacted to a picture of Pitbull with a full head of dark, flowing hair, along with some facial hair, and he looked quite different. While we still love bald Pitbull, his flowing locks made him look like he just walked off a runway or magazine cover.

Judging by the comments, TikTok seems amazed by the image. A few people even compared him to the famous heartthrob Zac Efron. Fans loved the look so much that one TikToker went as far as to say, "Ain't Mr. Worldwide anymore. That's Mr. Universal." His music is beloved by the world, so who's to stop him from reaching for the stars?

Another TikTok video by @kidseatoast also expressed amazement by Pitbull's long-haired look, as a TikToker in the video said that "he is dashing" and a "beautiful looking beast." TikTok just can't get enough of the rapper's former hair, and, honestly, neither can we.

Although TikTok seems to miss Pitbull's long hair, don't expect to see it again, as the rapper seems to enjoy being bald. He even admitted in an interview on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" that he helped the one and only John Travolta decide to shave his head. Apparently, Travolta complimented Pitbull's bald look and facial hair, and asked Mr. Worldwide if he would be cool with him rocking the same style. Of course, Pitbull said yes.

Pitbull looks effortlessly cool whether he's got flowing brown locks or a bald head. He definitely has his signature style down, as his shaved noggin, plus a pair of sunglasses and a sharp suit, have become his uniform in public. While it'd be interesting to see him change up the aesthetic of his tresses, he also wouldn't feel like the Pitbull that we all know and love if he deviated from his well-established image.
