Unbelievable: The six-figure sum Karousos received to shave his head in 2020

So that he could adopt his bald look
ALPHANEWSLIVE


Alex Caruso made an admittedly funny and unusual revelation while speaking on the “Pardon My Take” podcast—not about his basketball achievements, but about his hair!

Specifically, the American guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder—who is one of the NBA’s most beloved and likable players thanks to his passion and outstanding defense— revealed that in 2020, shortly after winning the first championship of his career with the Los Angeles Lakers, he was approached by a men’s grooming company to embrace his bald look!

Already having… thinning hair to begin with, the 32-year-old star had already decided to shave his head, while still keeping his iconic headband!

A decision that became even easier after the company “Manscaped” offered him 100,000 euros to shave off all his hair and promote the brand’s products!

“It was right after the championship. It was right after we won the title. I made a deal with Manscaped. I signed a $100,000 deal with them to promote their products. It was like, ‘We’ll give you a bunch of money, do this ad, and shave your head.’ I said, “Okay, sure. I’m going to do this anyway. Might as well make some money out of it for fun,” he said characteristically!
