I don't know how I found this website, but somehow I stumbled upon it. Anyways, there's a website that has an article that claims several movie stars are in fact bald or going bald, but are faking having hair with wigs or have had hair transplant surgery. I don't really know what to think of the site, but check it out. They claim stars such as Ben Afflec, George Clooney, Al Pacino, Burt Reynolds (duh!), Ted Danson, Matthew Mcconaughey, Edward Norton, and several more.

Edward Norton? He doesn't look bad without hair. He was awesome in American History X
Oh well, just embrace it man, quit fighting nature

I don't think Norton looks bad being bald either. I sometimes have people tell me that I look like him when he was in American History X, though that hasn't happened in awhile since I've gained a bit of weight. I think it's because we both have longer noses.
I also get that I look like Tim McGraw and Chris Judd. Chris Judd is the one that I get the most.

I don't know about the other actors in the list, but Ted Danson is quite hairy. So I can very well imagine that he's balding (or is going to be). It's a hormonal thing, I guess.
As for Al Pacino: he's of Italian ancestry and southerners (southern mediterranean) are more prone to baldness than people from northern countries. So I can imagine he might be affected too...

Ted Danson is a famous wig wearer. he even took it off in the last season of cheers for one scene. Sean connery is the coolest bald person. in real life he goes natural but in movies they make him put on a rug.

I've been within a few feet of ted at my old job and I was checking out for the wig. You really can't see a thing with his nowadays. Maybe during the earlier years it was more noticeable.Â
I did just see that John Travolta is wearing a rug. I knew something was up...

Can't hide from the digital cameras these days.

Well I don't know about that, dude... caucasians as a whole tend to be pretty prone to baldness. At least us Finns, Swedes and Danes currently have lots of balding men. It probably has something to do with the fact that our "gene pool" isn't very varied yet, if you know what I mean.
-
Matthew Mcconaughey definitly looks better with hair imo.
But it would be quite interesting seeing Ben Affleck or George Clooney bald! maybe someday ... *g*

I am a big Kiss/Gene Simmons Fan, So I Might Regret Doing This. I Don't Kno If It's Real Or Not, But Lets See If People Get Some Kicks! LOL

Agreed, Edward Norton looked awesome bald. American History X = Fantastic movie

Man, Tyler, you must really browes the High Brow sites!! :*))
I just fathom the concept that you are suggesting that Hollywood could be some how misleading us!!
Of course I did have a great time looking at the before and after shots.
