Rooney gets new hairdo inspired by Fassbender in `Prometheus`

 	 http://topnews.in/sports/files/Wayne-Rooney_94.jpgLondon, June 14 : Wayne Rooney was seen with a new haircut as he arrived for a training session during Euro 2012 in Krakow and it looked similar to the style Michael Fassbender sported in his role as robot David in new movie `Prometheus'.

The 26-year-old 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 style.

Rooney had paid an astonishing 30,000 pounds for a hair transplant at a central London clinic at the beginning of June last year, so it is surprising that he shaved his hair, even just on sides.

"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," the Daily Mail quoted Rooney as saying in the days following the procedure.

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 actor Alec Guinness in `Lawrence Of Arabia', and looking on intently in a bid to resemble the look as closely as possible.

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

"I liked the idea of having a feminine quality to him for sure. Both Lawrence and David Bowie have elements of that," he said. (ANI)
