The 27-year-old is famous for his character Steve Harrington’s long, consistently flowy brown hair which has been referenced many times throughout the show’s history, making Keery a dreamy crush among fans.

However, the actor has since debuted a new, subtler hairstyle much to the chagrin of many of those admirers. Still, Keery has a message for all who may be outraged by the new bowl cut and bangs he unveiled at a Chanel perfume event last month during New York Fashion Week.

“It’s just a regular person getting a haircut,” Keery told Entertainment Tonight at New York Comic Con when asked about the reaction his new hairdo received.
