MIKE TYSON, Mario Balotelli and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have shown their outrageous “four faces” for the #DollyPartonChallenge Instagram craze.
Sporting heroes are rivalling other celebrities with humorous compilations for social media: LinkedIn (showing their professional side), Facebook (friendlier), Instagram (brasher, flasher) and Tinder (“broad-minded” dating).
Mike Tyson seemed to display a range of emotions – from thoughtful to gentle, from brash to exuberant
Brescia’s former Liverpool frontman Mario Balotelli lived up to his colourful reputation with his choice of snaps
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seemed to go for style over gimmicks
Heavyweight boxing legend Tyson showed roar appeal with his Tinder pic, all rippling muscles as he wears just Y-fronts while holding a white, striped TIGER on a leash.
But he only edged out Balotelli on points – as the ex-Manchester City and Italy striker is snapped in an exotic pool with his arms round two women.
Luxury cars were a common theme in the Instagram section of the viral challenge.
But it was definitely Tinder where sports stars looked most at home.
GOLD CHAIR
Barcelona target Aubameyang lowers sunglasses as he peers out confidently, sitting on a gold chair, wearing his Arsenal shirt and with his hair exquisitely coiffured up.
But Carlos Valderrama’s worthy efforts were overshadowed by his trademark curly blond locks.
Despite the inclusion of a toddler in his Facebook shot and an exercise machine for Tinder, the Colombia hero’s images were a;; similar because of his dazzling hairstyle.
The phenomenon – initially called the “Social Challenge” – has whipped up a frenzy less than a week after Parton apparently initiated it.
Next to a combination including her Playboy bunny outfit, she wrote: “Get you a woman who can do it all.”
Now sports personalities past and present are ensuring the craze has gone into extra time.
And it probably says much of their flamboyant reputations that so many particularly seemed to relish the challenge of conjuring cheeky Tinder offerings.
Carlos Valderrama appeared to have the most modest pick of pics – but with his famous hairstyle dominating
Dolly Parton has been named as the instigator of the craze – after she mocked up this combination of social media pics last Tuesday
Aubameyang ‘agrees’ to Barcelona transfer but move only possible if Arsenal captain asks to leave
