Shawn Mendes roasted for sharing ridiculous reason behind his new look

Shawn Mendes is being mocked online for sharing the reason he decided to change up his look.

In a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, the 24-year-old explained why he decided to nix his brunette waves in favour of a more cropped hair 'do.

"I think everyone should know what they look like with a shaved head," he said.

"I also was just feeling this urge to just shake myself up a little bit."

Groundbreaking.

People on social media had a few interesting reactions to his 'shocking' confession.

One user said: "The amount of times I've seen someone with a cropped haircut and never once have I wondered why."

Another added: "lol he’s so crazy."

A third commented: "That’s what I always say, everyone should know what they look like with a shaved head."

But, despite the 'Señorita' singer's weird reason for his buzzcut, he did reveal why he decided to cancel a string of tour dates last summer.

"The process was very difficult. A lot of doing therapy, a lot of trying to understand how I was feeling and what was making me feel that way," he told The Wall Street Journal.

"And then doing the work to help myself and heal and also leaning on people in my life to help a little bit."

He went on to reveal that the work he has put into himself has been worth it.

"It’s been a lot of work, but I think the last year and a half has been the most eye-opening and growing and beautiful and just healing process of my life," he said.

"I'm also really grateful for all the people that were so accepting and loving and kind and understanding.

"And it just really made me see how culture is really starting to get to a place where mental health is really becoming a priority."

Well, if shaving your head is indicative of groundbreaking personal change, then shave away, Mendes.

Ignore the haters and shave away.
