Leo is not the first celebrity to travel blond after Copa America wrapped up. Last month,James Rodriguez stepped out in Miami with platinum strands that didn't even make it to his birthday just a few weeks later. We'll see whether Leo changes his mind approximately his novel look, too, and whether he sticks to it through the soccer season. So far,the internet hasn't kept quiet, sharing plenty of "blondes hold more fun" jokes all over Twitter. Keep reading to see more photos of Leo's makeover.
