More than three decades after his iconic clash with Bo Jackson on Monday Night Football in 1987, Brian Bosworth looks virtually unrecognizable today. Back then, “The Boz” was one of the most flamboyant and controversial figures in the NFL. Known for his bleach-blond mullet, bold personality, and fierce tackling, Bosworth was a linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks whose hype rivaled his on-field performances—until a shoulder injury cut his career short after just three seasons.
Today, at 60, Bosworth has undergone a remarkable transformation. Gone is the wild hairstyle and brash demeanor. Instead, he sports a more subdued, mature appearance, often seen with a salt-and-pepper beard and a calm, reflective presence in interviews. After football, Bosworth shifted into acting and motivational speaking, taking on roles in films like Stone Cold and The Longest Yard. He has also appeared in documentaries and TV segments reflecting on his tumultuous football career and lessons learned.
Despite the early end to his playing days, Bosworth has embraced his second act with grace and humility. Fans from the ’80s may barely recognize him today, but his legacy as one of football’s most colorful characters remains firmly intact. Would you like a photo of how he looks now?
