That's the question that was put to Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Kate Abdo during CBS Sports' Champions League coverage, as Richards' fellow pundits compared his hairline to Jude Bellingham's.
Despite being 15 years older than the Real Madrid and England superstar, Richards and Bellingham rock very similar trims.
But does spending £600 on three haircuts a week give you the same hairline as a 20-year-old?
Unfortunately for Richards, Carragher doesn't think so.
As the ex-Manchester City star posed and gave a wink to the camera as his fellow pundits compared his hairline to Bellingham's, the Liverpool legend said: "Oh, I've got to go for Jude."

Abdo then stepped in to save Richards.
"No, I would go for you Micah!" she said, leaving the Premier League title winner grinning from ear to ear. "Micah's a little bit sharper. Look at the fade man, look at the fade."
But it was when Henry was given the final vote that the studio burst out into laughter.
"It's not like I can talk," the ex-Arsenal star, who has sported a buzz cut for some time, said. "Just look at the shape of my head! There's no line. You look like a playmobil!"

He continued: "Sometimes you have to stay in your lane."

"Yeah exactly!" Henry smiled. "Nobody competes with me!"
Fair play for owning it Thierry!
