Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins spoke to the media after practice Thursday and he still had the same look from "Mustache Monday" despite his wife Julie Hampton disapproving of the Hulk Hogan-ish facial hair.
Cousins, 35, and the rest of his Vikings teammates all grew out funny mustaches to take a picture together on Monday, but the quarterback decided he would turn the event to "Mustache Week," to his wife's displeasure.
Julie, 33, reportedly does not like her husband's new look "but understands it" and is likely happy he is getting rid of the facial hair after Saturday's game.
Vikings host the Arizona Cardinals in their final NFL preseason game ahead of the season opener at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on September 10.
Cousins also went viral Monday due to his appearance on the league's new commercial to kick off the season.
NFL kicks off with commercial
The Vikings quarterback appeared shirtless in the NFL ad dropped Monday. He was only wearing gold chains.
Last season, after a Minnesota win, Cousins celebrated on the team plane with nothing but chains. That moment continues to be iconic, as evidenced by the new commercial.
Ever since head coach Mike Zimmer left the team, the QB has adopted a new personality.
Cousins' chemistry and relationship with wide receiver Justin Jefferson could also be one of the reasons he looks like a new man.
