Shortly after he was elected president for the first time, he cuted his hair, due to a press campaign which convinced him he's ridiculous. 
More exactly, this campaign took place in 2005, when Basescu was for the first time in Great Britain as Romania's president.
What happened then, you can see here: http://observator.tv/politic/basescu-la-londra-46352.html . Worth watching, believe me.
P.S.: Wait the end of that fucking commercial, than the movie will start automatically. Sorry!
