how is it that virtually every famous man is not bald?

[daveymark]

Moby, Shakespeare, Lenin, Agassi

 

[Coquito]

Prominent foreheads, chins, noses, breasts, codpieces, & hair are all sure ways to "make" it.

No one cares about him. Ric Flair is even older, looks like he has hair, & is still in the middle of everything.

anthony edwards

bruce willis
samuel L. jackson
damon wayans
sigourney weaver
demi moore

ok, but erase the women because they had to shave their heads and now they're back to normal, and i already mentioned bruce willis. sam jackson isn't always bald, and vin diesel and daymon wayans probably are, but who knows? plus, the point is that famous men rarely ever seem to go bald, which is what i wanted to really emphasize.

And if the OP is right, I guess I can count myself out of being famous

You ever notice how Bruce Willis can have a full head or hair, and so can Sean Connery? Would you know any better had you not already known their were bald[ing]?

Famous men that start their careers with a full head of hair generally don't wish to let it go. They can afford quality work, and many of them get it. Your assessment is entirely inaccurate given this understanding.

He's black, so he doesn't count; just about any black man can shave his head and look fantastic. For black men it's a fashion statement, but for many white men it's a way to avoid a problem. That might not always be the case, but I believe that to be the dominant perception for now.

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

Michael Ironside, the Ultimate movie bad ass. Also can't forget the guy that plays Red Forman in That 70's show(he was Clarence Boddicker in Robocop).

ok, ok. i stand corrected. apparently, bald men heavily outnumber the amount of non-bald men. silly me, i didn't know what i was thinking.

and descartes, my assesment isn't entirely inaccurate. is baldness now a condition which can be fully treated, at least to the point that it's indiscernable from real hair? are you implying that, given enough money, one need never lose a desired hair?

 

[miri]

The question is, out of that baldman list, how many are considered hunks?

It's called hair implants

Male pattern baldness rules. I rest my case.

Oh do they ever. Not Gore.

The fact that you have a "hairstylist" is more troublesome.

Your theory sure doesn't seem to apply to Al Roker. It doesn't seem any easier for him as a Black man gone bald. If you look at Black men in the 80s, I doubt you would say it's all a fashion statement. Montel Williams and his brother in those old clips were going bald but were not gutsy to shave it at the time. I don't think that they have it any easier. It's just that Michael Jordan was a pacesetter. He was going bald, shaved it, looked handsome, and gradually then suddenly most Black men were no longer shy to shave everything as an alternative to [incomplete] baldness. Then it became a fashion statement for those who weren't [going] bald . . . even Whites that dared. I guess most White men are just too afraid that Black men must have some special head or face that makes them look good bald. :roll: I know that you have qualified it by saying currently, but you make it sound too easy for the Black men--as if it came on easily rather than as a transition. Look back at the 1980s and reconsider. George Jefferson of The Jeffersons still seems scared to shave everything off!

You know, the instant I posted that I knew osmeone would make a comment. Barber, hairstylist, all that matters is I look gooooood.

When you're rich & famous, you can afford hair transplants. a.k. Elton John.

 

[StageLeft]

Same reason most famous actresses don't look ugly.

Pierce Brosnan has killer hair, and he's like 50. I wonder if he got plugs.
