Full-length, farmer-style overalls, hair past shoulder-length and a moustache-beard combination that hasn’t been trimmed in the past two decades – yep, it’s fair to say that Jeff Schultz isn’t quite the same man Lori Schultz married 30 years ago.
And it was this dis-tressing revelation, which was inadvertently brought to her attention, that caused Mrs Schultz, 53, to take action.
“A couple months ago, my mum had cleaned out her attic and had a bunch of old pictures of my husband when we were dating,” Mrs Schultz remembered, before going on to detail what her last-resort plan for her hubby’s man-tenance would be.
Mrs Schultz decided to write into American TV host Rachael Ray of The Rachael Ray show, pleading, “I love my husband inside-out, just help me with the outside.”
Well, that the TV host did, calling on a barber to take her razor to Mr Schultz’s roots, as well as sprucing up the 52-year-old’s style for a complete makeover.
While Mr Schultz was seemingly ecstatic with his fresh look, fighting back tears as he looked at his before-and-after shots, Mrs Schultz could barely contain her, err, total shock.
“That’s not my husband!” she said upon seeing her husband after his four-day New York makeover, unable to recognise the love of her life without his signature strands.
“His skin hasn’t seen fresh air for 20 years!”
