Not too long ago, we discussed bald celebrities. Some you knew wore a wig or toupee, some were a total surprise. Going bald, or wearing a wig was once practically a badge of shame for many men in the public eye.
Nowadays, though, it seems that men are embracing the work they’re having done. While many men choose to shave their heads, or embrace the receding hairline, several others are fighting mother nature, and doing something about their hair loss. Anyway, I’ve gathered up a new batch of folically challenged famous men
Wes Welker
We all know and love Wes Welker, right? Yessir. The lontgtime New England Patriots receiver, now with the Denver Broncos, has had hair plugs. He’s fairly open about it, even doing an ad for his doctor {pictured on the left}.
AJ McLean
The bad boy from Backstreet Boys had hair replacement surgery in early 2013. He posted a picture of the before and after results on his Instagram feed. I have to say, he didn’t look bad as a balding man, but his new hair transplants look good too.
John Travolta
It’s fairly well documented that John Travolta wears at least a toupee. In previous years, it seemed like it was at least a decent wig or hairpiece, but now… it really looks bad. Especially in the video he did with Olivia Newton John. That whole thing was cringe-worthy, though. Watch it, then we can talk about it! It doesn’t give me Grease vibes, it gives me full on nightmares.
Steve Carell
I didn’t think about Steve Carell wearing a hairpiece, until I was watching The Office not too long ago. His hair was visibly thinning, and then we watched Crazy Stupid Love, and I noticed that he had a lovely, full head of hair. Interesting. Some people think he’s had hair plugs, but I’m leaning more toward a hair piece.
**Edit – After re-watching the finale of The Office, there’s not a doubt in my mind he wears a toupee.
Ben Affleck
While the jury is still out on this, the rumors have persisted for years. I don’t see it, but, hey. Maybe I just don’t want to? Ben Affleck did, however, have a bald spot that seems to have disappeared? Perhaps he had some Rogaine or Propecia type hair replacement treatment.
I also have to say – DAYUM! Ben Affleck is getting better with age.
Wayne Rooney
The uber famous footballer, or as we call it here – soccer, tweeted out to his followers that he’d had hair transplant surgery. This is the pic he shared after his surgery. I suppose I wouldn’t want to be a bald man at age 25, either.
Gene Kelly
Yes, the beloved actor from so many movies is believed to have worn a hairpiece. Even in some of his most famous movies. In the picture above, you can even see the edge of his hairpiece. *gasp*
Are you surprised about any of these? What other celebrities do you think are bald?
