However, his admiration for the footballer Gareth Bale and his long hair became a turning point, and he adamantly refused to cut his own hair. Despite his mother’s persistent attempts to convince him to get a haircut, Reilly remained resolute in keeping his hair long.However, he eventually expressed a desire to cut it himself.
