France hero Olivier Giroud has revealed he will shave his head after pre-World Cup promise… but only after his son’s baptism

FRANCE hero Olivier Giroud has revealed he will shave his head following his pre-World Cup promise after all... one on condition.
The Chelsea man, 31, claimed he would lose his famous locks if Les Bleus won it all in Russia and has now promised to honour that.
Prior to this summer's World Cup, a host of France players accepted a load of wacky "forfeits" should they win the tournament.
Giroud promised to cut off all his hair and had come under pressure in recent days to get on with it - with one interviewer even pulling out some clippers live on air.
Elsewhere, Nabil Fekir and Hugo Lloris are set to also shave their hair - with Lloris also enduring a pub-crawl in Nice - while Blaise Matuidi will cycle from Paris to Turin.
Thomas Lemar must dye his hair, while Adil Rami has to fight Teddy Riner.
Now Giroud has revealed he will shave his head after all - but only after his son's baptism on Sunday.
Giroud revealed: "I only have one rule... so I will respect it. My wife wants me to do it after the baptism of our son on Sunday.
"Hugo Lloris also said he'd do it."
Following France's famous World Cup win, Giroud claimed he would honour his promise.
The Chelsea man revealed: "I promised to shave my head if we win the WC and I'll do it right after the baptism of my child on July 22."
Despite the lovely gesture, not all fans were on board with the Frenchman shaving off his famous locks.
Here's what Twitter had to say on the hair-brained scheme...
