Ernesto Laguardia embraced a dramatic new look on "La casa de los famosos México" this Friday, August 14, by shaving his head. The actor and television presenter fulfilled a promise made to viewers to remain in the competition.

Laguardia had been at risk of elimination and vowed to shave his head if he managed to stay in the reality show. "I have to pay my bet with the public," he stated during a recent conversation with fellow contestants. Content creator Karina Torres was tasked with executing the radical haircut.

I have to pay my bet with the public.

Social media platforms have already seen early footage of the transformation. In the video, Torres is seen carefully using clippers to shave Laguardia's head, with the actor watching the process in a mirror. Torres left a longer strip of hair on top, a style that some social media users compared to a scene from the telenovela “El privilegio de amar,” where Cynthia Klitbo also shaved her head.

Laguardia hinted that this might not be his final appearance change on the show. He previously considered getting a piercing, responding with laughter, "For the next challenge. I'm going to leave here very different."

For the next challenge. I'm going to leave here very different.
