After deciding to grow out a mullet “for fun” during the Covid lockdowns, Elijah is now known as the “flying mullet” at school.

“He puts a lot of effort into growing the mullet and stole his mums hair products to look after the ringlets. He has broken school rules to keep growing it,” his mum Shannon Gunn said.

Despite his young age, Rome is especially proud of his mullet and will willingly shake it for anyone that asks.
