“Had to be done! Don’t worry, y’all. It will return in a month,” AJ captioned a series of selfies featuring his beard-less face.
Just why it “had to be done” is unclear but what is obvious is that he looks like a totally different person!
AJ appears to be fully thriving with his new look, showing it off while thanking fans for getting “I Want It That Way” trending on TikTok.
Only time will tell the reasoning behind AJ’s shaved face — but if you ask his daughter, she probably has her fingers crossed that the beard grows back quickly!
