Wayne Rooney takes inspiration from Michael Fassbender's Prometheus character with new blonde crop

Rarely a day goes by that David Beckham doesn't step out with a new hairstyle.

And it seems that Wayne Rooney has now decided to follow in his former teammate's footsteps by changing up his look.

As he arrived for a training session during Euro 2012 in Krakow today, Rooney debuted his new blonde crop, which looked similar to the style sported by Michael Fassbender in his role as robot David in hit blockbuster movie Prometheus.

The footballer's new look saw him keep his hair thick on the top in a quiff-style, while having the sides shaved to give him a mohican-type 'do.

However, some may question Rooney's decision to shave his head, even just on the sides, given that he paid an astonishing £30,000 for a hair transplant last year.

Rooney had the treatment at a central London clinic at the beginning of June last year.

In the days following the procedure, he revealed: '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.'

It remains to be seen if Rooney's look is just one stage of an entirely new 'do, or the finished product.

Fans of Ridley Scott's Prometheus - a prequel to the hit Alien franchise - will know that Fassbender's character David's hair is quite literally his crowning glory.

In the film, David is seen watching Alec Guinness in Lawrence Of Arabia, and looking on intently in a bid to copy the look as closely as possible.

Talking about the hair in a recent interview, Fassbender explained that he had taken inspiration for the look from both Lawrence of Arabia and David Bowie.

He said: 'I liked the idea of having a feminine quality to him for sure. Both Lawrence and David Bowie have elements of that.'
