“You know, after the infamous so sorry video about the Japanese Forest craziness which by the way I was working at YouTube when this happened, and let’s just say it was a crazy day in the office so after that he kind of went away for a few weeks and came back with a new hairstyle shorter, more mature”, Costa said.

Before this, he introduced Paul’s first hairstyle, which appears in his old videos. According to Costa, it was long, messy, and pretty bad. Interestingly, it was intentional to capture fans’ attention. But as of now, Paul is totally transformed, man. The 27-year-old is rocking with his bushy beard and a pretty wavy fringe.
