FINE, if our editor insists that we write a thirsty af Love Island story about Alexandra-Burke-level bad boy Adam Collard on this dreary af, first-day-back-in-the-office after Christmas, January day, we will. You don't deserve us, you know.
It's pretty much a well known fact that Love Island 2018 and Love Island 2022 star Adam is a man of many surprises. Remember when he recoupled with Rosie Williams leaving poor Kendall Rae Knight dumped? Or when he lost Paige Thorne over that chicken nuggets scandal?
Or when he strutted into the Love Island: All Stars villa in January 2024... okay, we're manifesting that one.
As far as Islanders go, Adam keeps us on our toes and frequently gives us something to write about (and subsequently thirst over), so we appreciate that.
So here's your latest Collard surprise; the Love Island legend recently took to his Instagram story to show off an "extra hairy" look and we're totally here for it, because, frankly, we're sick of the generic, smooth, Love Island male archetype (producers, just think how much you'd save on the budget without that weekly Veet bulk buy). No. Give us that Henry Cavill fuzz any day.
Adam recently showcased a selfie with more hair (back and sides skin fade can do one, too) and a fuzzier stubble and we're totally here for it. We're also here for those hands larger than his face.
He captioned his scruffy post, "Extra hairy...
"Hoping it turns me like Samson in 2024."
New look for All Stars perhaps, Adam? It's possible tbf, as we know for a fact he was at least approached.
When we caught up with Adam at the Celebs Go Dating launch party last year, we had to find out if he would be interested in returning to the villa once again and he revealed that Love Island producers had been in touch.
“They’ve called us,” Adam exclusively told heatworld, although he didn't sound keen.
“You’ve got to realise, I’m two nil up right now. I feel like I need to give other people a chance first,” he explained.
However, Adam confessed there is one condition on which he would appear on Love Island: All Stars; if fellow ultimate bombshell Kady McDermott joined him in the villa.
“If Kady goes on, I’ll go on,” he told us.
Manifest, people.
Adam Collard's bleach blond hair
Back in May 2023, the iconic Islander decided to bleach his brown hair.
Posting a photo of himself of his newly dyed hair, Adam showed off his transformation and we have to admit he still looks unfairly FIT, obv.
One of his followers commented, "👏 #blonde always have more fun @adamcollard 😍".
Someone else wrote, "Digging the blonde".
Another added, "This hair style suits you well".
Not everyone was a fan though because after one person commented, "Your hair colour doesn't suit you", Adam replied and said, "Do what you want though when you've got abs and look like me though Jackie x".
He then added on his Instagram Story, "See no evil, fear no evil. Have a fantastic Monday and don't let anyone kill your vibe."
LOL.
Adam Collard's 'red flag' hairstyle
Earlier on in the year, Adam surprised everyone with his 'red flag' hairstyle.
We know, we know, it's fair to say that he has exhibited a fair few red flags over the years. However, in January his red flag was his haircut.
Adam took to TikTok to showcase his trim after a trip to the barbers and it definitely left fans divided. While there were some who liked it, including one who commented, "Wow nice mate you look stunning," others weren't sure.
One wrote, "Damn, was just gonna say the longer hair was looking good," while another added, "He suits the first best."
Then there were those who just downright didn't like it, "LMAOOO 'I'm a red flag'," commented one brutal TikTok user. One more remarked, "This is terrifying."
Savage.
