Jaylen Brown has shocked fans with a dramatic transformation following his NBA Finals MVP win with the Boston Celtics. Known for his powerful presence on the court and his signature thick beard, Brown has now made a significant change by shaving it off, leaving Celtics fans and the basketball community buzzing.
Before the beard came off, Brown had been focusing on his physical fitness with some intense and unconventional training methods. The 27-year-old shooting guard was spotted doing underwater workouts and even performing pool dunks, earning him the nickname “Aquaman Brown” among fans. But his most surprising move was ditching the beard, a feature that had become part of his trademark look.
Without his signature facial hair, Brown looks much younger, with some fans even joking that he now resembles Kawhi Leonard’s twin. The drastic change caught Celtics fans off-guard, and many took to social media to express their surprise. Some didn’t even recognize the star player at first glance.
However, Celtics supporters can rest easy—Brown has addressed the overwhelming reaction to his new look. In a lighthearted response to the many messages he’s received about his clean-shaven face, Brown reassured fans, saying, “It will be back.” So, it seems the beard isn’t gone for good, just temporarily benched.

One of the burning questions surrounding the transformation is whether Brown’s girlfriend, WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick, has any thoughts on the new look. While there’s no official word from her, fans are speculating whether she might have influenced the decision or, perhaps, prefers the clean-shaven version of Brown.
On the court, Brown has been nothing short of spectacular. During the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, Brown averaged 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 5.0 assists while playing stellar defense, earning him the Finals MVP title over his teammate Jayson Tatum. Brown’s standout performance was crucial in securing the championship, and his defense played a pivotal role in shutting down Dallas’s offense.
Now, as the Celtics prepare for the upcoming season, Brown and the team are focused on raising banner No. 19. The season kicks off on October 22 with a highly anticipated ring night against the New York Knicks. Celtics fans are eager to see if Brown will bring back his iconic beard for opening night or continue sporting his new look.
While the beard may be in limbo, one thing is certain: Brown’s commitment to his game and his team remains as strong as ever.
Whether he’s clean-shaven or bearded, Celtics fans know they have a star ready to lead them in their quest for another championship.
