Check Out the Most Surprising Celeb Transformations of the Week

Hands down, this is the most dramatic transformation the NBA can ever remember.

The NBA player, lovingly called “Jimmy Buckets” on the court, debuted an emo-inspired hairstyle during the Miami Heat’s press day on Oct. 2.

Butler sported freshly pressed long tresses that were styled in a deep side part a la Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, who famously donned flat-ironed, eye-grazing locks in the mid-aughts.

Along with the rockin’ new ‘do, Butler finished off his look with chipped black nail polish, three lip piercings, a nose ring and an eyebrow piercing.

When asked about his dramatic hair transformation during the press junket, Jimmy revealed it was a form of self-expression. “I’m very emotional right now,” Butler explained when asked about his new look during the media junket. “This is my emo state and I like this. This is me. This is how I’m feeling as of late.”
