The Inter Miami owner loves all his hairstyles but always had a regret over the 2003 cornrows. But what was the reason for it?
Recently speaking on his hairstyles, the former Real Madrid superstar said, as per Daily Mail, “People ask if I have any regrets about my hairstyles, and while I don’t regret any of them, I do sort of regret cornrows.” And that’s because after putting them, he met the iconic South African leader Nelson Mandela two days later.
“I got to meet the great Nelson Mandela. And the picture that I’ve got of Nelson Mandela is me holding his hand with cornrows in my hair. That’s my only regret.”
Interestingly, his 2000 mohawk also landed the Manchester United legend in trouble.
