On Monday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the 53-year-old actor debuted his new hairdo. “Do not adjust your TV screens—yes, I got my haircut,” he jokingly said to the audience. “It’s like a chinchilla!”
And his wife couldn’t resist the urge to rub his head. While admiring her hubby’s new haircut, she said, “I’ve never rubbed an actual chinchilla but I suspect this is what it feels like.” Ripa continued, “We should give everyone in the audience an opportunity. Look at how I take it all for granted, don’t I? I take it all for granted!”
Though Mark shared that he usually cuts his hair “every couple of years” since he and Ripa have been married, the morning show host went on to explain why he decided to cut his hair this time around. “Yeah, I got a TV job,” Mark revealed. “A role in a pilot, and they said, ‘Can you cut it short?’ And I said, ‘How short? Military?’ And they said, ‘Military.’”
