Dallas Cowboys icon Dez Bryant went viral on Monday night after bizarrely getting a haircut while watching the team from his VIP suite at AT&T Stadium.
Bryant, who spent the first eight seasons of his NFL career in Dallas before enjoying brief stints with the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens, was back at the home of his beloved franchise for their Week 9 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
And during the second quarter, the former wide receiver left fans baffled when he began broadcasting an Instagram Live stream while getting a trim in the stands.
'I was in such a rush today, I've gotta get my haircut. Look at this,' he said as he filmed his barber, Mario, going to work on his hair mid-game.
Another video captured by a fan also shows a third-person view of Bryant's haircut as the Cowboys and Cardinals lock horns on the field.
'I ain’t never seen no s*** like this lol,' one fan posted on X.

'Bryant just redefined luxury fan experience,' said another.
One simply commented: 'Uh, ok'.
While another joked: 'This was more exciting for him than the game'.
At one point during his Instagram Live stream, the Dallas defense got a sack on Arizona quarterback Jacoby Brissett, which led to a huge cry of 'let's f***ing go Cowboys' from their ex-player.
He also predicted that the Cowboys would win their showdown with the Cardinals, yet in the end they slumped to a 27-17 defeat.
Bryant did describe his former team as 'dysfunctional' on the stream, while stressing that they need a 'better defense.'
'I want to get on the field, but I can't get on the field,' the 37-year-old responded to Cowboys fans who told him to suit up.

Bryant made 116 appearances during his eight-year spell in Dallas, racking up 547 catches for 7,677 receiving yards and 75 touchdowns.
The ex-Oklahoma State star was named a First-team All-Pro in 2014 and earned three Pro Bowl selections (2013, 2014, 2016) while on the Cowboys' books.
Monday's loss to the Cardinals leaves the Cowboys 3-5-1 for the season, but they remain second in the NFC East behind the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles (6-2).
Next up for Brian Schottenheimer's men, who now have a bye week in store, is a trip to Las Vegas to face the Raiders on Monday November 17.
