WASHINGTON: American actor Sean Penn's hairstyle has once again gone viral following his appearance at Sunday's Golden Globes.

"Please give a golden globe to whoever let Sean Penn look like this on national TV," added yet another.

Some viewers found the actor's appearance to be somewhat relatable, saying he "is also all of us [right now] if we were forced to put on a tux."

Meanwhile, another said, "Sean Penn could really care less about any one's opinion on his hair. That is what makes him so unique."

Late last year, fans took note of Penn's hairstyle during a television appearance for chat show 'Morning Joe.'

After comments about his unruly look went viral online, the Oscar-winner took to Twitter to address it.

"If you think my hair goes wild on Morning Joe when hacked by Russians (allegedly), you should see how much wilder it goes when peeps donate to @COREResponse," he wrote at the time.
