Wayne Rooney Talks Openly About Hair Transplant On Twitter, Dares Entire Universe Not To Love Him

Wayne Rooney felt the need to put a bit of information out there this morning:

Just to confirm to all my followers I have had a hair transplant. I was going bald at 25 why not. I'm delighted with the result.less than a minute ago via Twitter for iPhone Favorite Retweet Reply

That’s not the type of thing we’re used to seeing from athletes on Twitter; there was nary a glimpse of a naughty part, a refreshing lack of crackpot conspiracy theory and absolutely nothing that might cause the integrity of the game to be questioned. Just one of the most well-known footballers in the history of the game speaking openly, without any known provocation, about his hair transplant. But Wazza wasn’t done just yet:

It's still a bit bruised and swollen when it dies down u will be first to see it. Anyone recommend any good hair gel. Hahaless than a minute ago via Twitter for iPhone Favorite Retweet Reply

Well, thank you for those mental images Wayne. That’s not at all something that makes me want to vom-oh, you’re still going?

Unless you reside in the red half of Merseyside or the blue half of Manchester, it's tough to find this bit of humanity anything but adorable and endearing. Wayne Rooney is legitimately one of the most famous people on the planet Earth and this morning he openly talked about having undergoing a procedure that generally goes completely (and uncomfortably) un-remarked upon. Stephen Ireland could learn a thing or two.

Plenty of Red Devils detractors will have a field day with this one, but it seems unlikely that Rooney is going to be all that concerned. And if anyone gets a bit too salty, Wayne can always put him to sleep. Shouldn’t take much more than ten seconds or so.
