Haircuts are a universal necessity. However, until you find your dream stylist, getting your hair cut can still feel like a massive gamble.
It’s truly one of the most vulnerable experiences, as, after all, hair can make or break a look—it’s often one of the first things folks notice about other people. That’s probably why TikTok is chock-full of videos featuring customers crashing out about their botched hair after a stylist did them dirty.

In GOAT, Caleb McLaughlin delivers a performance built not on grand gestures, but on the quiet, intimate details that make a character feel undeniably real. Rather than relying on backstory or external reference points, McLaughlin approached his role by asking a deceptively simple question: who is this person at his core? In an interview with Black Girl Nerds he answered this question.
For McLaughlin, the answer lived in the smallest of places. A laugh. A cadence. A tone of voice. These were not decorative flourishes, but essential clues to the character’s inner life. He understood that we often recognize people not by what they do, but by how they exist in the world. The rhythm of their speech, the way they react before they think, the subtle patterns that reveal personality long before explanation ever does.
What makes this approach especially striking is that McLaughlin did not have a finished version of Will to imitate. He did not fully see who the character was until watching the completed film weeks later. That absence forced him to rely on instinct, imagination, and careful attention to human behavior. In doing so, he treated Will less like a role to be played and more like a person to be discovered.
The laugh became a defining choice. McLaughlin intentionally crafted one that felt specific and personal, something that could instantly identify Will in a room full of voices. It is a reminder that authenticity in performance often comes from restraint and precision rather than volume. By committing to those details, he allowed the character’s spirit to emerge naturally.
In a film centered on ambition and legacy, McLaughlin’s work suggests that greatness is not only about achievement. It is about presence. GOAT succeeds because its lead understands that audiences connect first to humanity, not heroics. Through cadence, tone, and an unmistakable laugh, Caleb McLaughlin grounds the film in something timeless and familiar. The result is a character who feels lived-in, recognizable, and deeply human.
GOAT is now playing in theaters.
