A teenager who took matters into his own hands after refusing to go the barbers for months has left himself looking like an iconic 90s movie character. Carly Bickerdyke says she pestered her 14-year-old son Mason Prady to get a haircut for months.
She says the teenager, from Stalybridge, was being too 'stubborn' to go to the barbers.

"I found it funny. I was crying with laughter. My cousin sent me a photo of the Dumb and Dumber haircut and Mason came in my room, I looked at him and couldn't un-see it.
"I said 'I can't talk to you Mason without seeing Jim Carrey. I can't look at you without laughing'. It's so funny.
He didn't even know who Jim Carrey was so he
