Jelly Roll finally revealed his clean-shaven look on Thursday (November 20) via an Instagram video, after the Grammy-nominated country superstar shaved his beard for the first time in over ten years. Jelly admitted that he originally kept his facial hair because of his previous weight, but now embraces the dramatic change with a self-deprecating sense of humor, saying his new appearance makes him “look like a Ninja Turtle.” His wife, Bunnie XO, had teased the transformation on social media a week earlier, telling fans that, “He will show y’all when he’s ready.” Jelly’s clean-shaven look goes along with his drastic weight loss over the last few years, with the singer shedding nearly 200 pounds since starting his weight loss journey in 2022 while weighing over 550 lbs. Jelly Roll credited his natural lifestyle changes, like focusing on exercise and healthier eating habits, rather than trendy medications like Ozempic, while highlighting the positive shift in his tour culture toward wellness.
