Getting To Know: José María Callejón, Real Madrid
Just tweak, tweakin’ the hair. Images via Divinity.
He scores lots of goals and lets Jose Mourinho ride him like a pony, but that’s pretty much all we ever knew about Real Madrid’s 24-year-old headline stealer.

Recently opening up in an interview, Callejón revealed that his bestie in the locker room is none other than The Ramos™. We can only assume that’s who taught him the hair primping process he’s demonstrating above so kindly for us. Let’s hope Callejón doesn’t pay too close attention to Sergio’s fashion, though. We don’t think we can handle seeing green jeans on more than one ‘baller.
If you can get past the hair, you’ll be crushed to know that JMC only has eyes for his girlfriend, Marta. They live together with her daughter Paula, whom he considers and raises as his own. He even requested that his interview with Real Madrid TV open with the song, ‘Háblame’, by Malú because it reminded him of Marta. Sweet.
Keep an eye out for José Kickettes, and feed us anything else about him that’s worth knowing.


He is so adorable! and I'm soo glad he was able to return and play for RM. he really is a great player! and he's quite handsom too!
Thank you kickette for embracing the hotness that is Callejon. He has been doing it for me since his Espanyol days and I’m so glad he’s back at Real.
He is hot… We need a post of his twin brother!
What a cutie. His atitude on the field is amazing, you can really tell he
Wants to be a titular. He really deserves it.
He's hot, but… he plays for real madrid. I can't forgive him for that.
hey this Madridista admits to lusting after Valdez whilst throwing-up a lil in my mouth…com'on chica. Go ahead a give him his "hottie" props
Ditto for me, Bri. We can love the man and not the team.
okay, okay. He IS hot. But I still can't forgive him. ESPECIALLY since we play them tomorrow.
Yes Deb an in my special case we can love the abs & not the man…
And the best part? He has a twin brother Juanmi who plays for Hercules.
Hell-O twin brother you say?? Amen to hot 'ballers and their hot siblings (here's lookin' at you Unai Cassillas)
Good looking out chica! I totally forgot that there's TWO of them…..
What a Hottie. His Hairdo can join all the funky hairdos at RM
Want to coo at his hotness but can't quite do it with total enthusiasm knowing Mourinho mounted him in celebration. :/
hahaha….mounting Callejón is a brilliant idea for anyone! hehehe…just couldn't help it
He used to have the coolest hair in Spain when he played for Espanyol. Now he has tamed it a bit. Why does everyone turn boring when they join RM? Like when Adebayor cut his dreds to look more appropriate for the team. Is it because it's the "Royal" team, or what?
Talking about the club who have Marcelo with his crazy hair, had Guti, Ramos, cris now!
RM players tamed?…I would think not!
But Marcelo was born with his curls, as was his Barca counterpart Puyol. And Cris and Ramos are very conventional. I was very disappointed with Callejon actually when i saw him the first time for RM. His hair wasn't nearly as punk-ish as it used to be. And then I thought of Adebayors words. Obviously they feel that they got to conform.
Cris is conventional? ok Guti then or Beckham if you think Ramos is conventional.
Not really, marcelo started growing his hair season ago, he was bald since he joined Real Madrid, I know that Ade said that, but it doesn't mean that he was controlled by the club or club asked him to do it, maybe he thought he needed to look better as he did with shorter hair.
As for Callejon his hair is still crazy up, he might get hair-cuts to shorten it, but it didn't change.
Anyway, I don't think RM make them boring or control their players, as it is one of their problems anyway.
But if you think so, I won't change your mind, it is your opinion afterall
Awwwwwwww a Calleti post <333333
His bestie is actually Pipita, they have a bromance going on that Kickette would very approve off!!!
He mentioned Ramos since both are from anduslian too!!,
Jose you are a hottie!
I know I love him! I love his attitude, you can tell that he has this gratitude and focus playing for the Mirenges. And I love his reverent reactions when interviewers ask him about Mourinho's favor towards him.
And I will note that he is the ONLY one that can work that big hair!
I know!!!! Callejon celebration by pointing on his escudo every time he scores give me goosebumps!! I love him, I can't believe I doubt him as being the next 'Pedro leon"…That's why we need more canteranos like him and Iker!!
Mourinho gave him alot of praises, alot!! I think the most to any player of Real Madrid. I hope he plays today!
Yes…the Pipita/Calleti bromance. Too adorable those two. Although who can blame him for having Sergio as a bestie too?! Sergio even gave him a bestie nickname. <3
See those crossed arms in the background? That's The Ramos, inspecting his apprentice.
Also – What a hottie!
