This Subreddit Of Famous Historical Figures Sporting Modern Haircuts Is The Best Internet Rabbit Hole
What if Napoleon looked like a Wall Street CEO? And what if William Shakespeare had the hair of a modern-day hipster? These are the kind of questions we don't ask enough, but, darn it, we should.
Don't worry, though, there's a whole subreddit called OldSchoolCurls that pushes our imagination within a hair of its limits and gives us these weird and wonderful Photoshopped images of historical figures with modern haircuts.
There's, for instance, βa picture of George Washington looking very formidable with a haircut that screams "white, middle-aged defense secretary":
We have the Bard rocking the hipster look and totally killing it:
Marilyn Monroe with long, tousled waves:
Abraham Lincoln looking… actually really good sans beard and sporting a modern haircut:
Napoleon seeming very much in his element as a CEO that has been given the Vanity Fair cover treatment:
And finally, one of our favorites, just because it's so incongruous β Gandhi with Ariana Grande's high ponytail. A match made in heaven.
