Antitrust star Ryan Phillippe has a "new-do" and everyone loves it, except for everyone in Hollywood.

The blonde hunk now sports the mohawk look. "He went out in the backyard one night and he cut his hair off. He just wanted a mohawk; he's always wanted a mohawk. I think it looks really good on him. I like it. He came upstairs, and I was like, 'Oh my gosh!' But I think it looks really good. Eva likes to run her hands over the top of it. She thinks it's a rug," wife Reese Witherspoon said.

We'll never know where Ryan got his inspiration, but if I were a betting man I'd go with too many screenings of Taxi Driver...
