Title: Sir Ben Kingsley
Post by: Vash on May 18, 2010, 05:14:46 AM

I was just flipping through a back issue of Maxim magazine at work (a bar) from March of this year. Their ICON interview from that issue was with none other than Sir Ben Kingsley! A great actor, who gave a great interview. My favorite bit was the last question and answer which was:

Tell us about the power of bald.

"I think the power of bald—I’ve never analyzed this before, so I’m gonna borrow what my darling wife would say. I think she would say it’s the man saying, “You take me as you find me.” I think that it may be, because it’s the opposite of disguise, isn’t it?"

Right on Ben! The opposite of a disguise is a great insight that some of our bald brethren could stand to hear.

I'm not sure I understand the quote, but I like it anyway the way I interpret it.

I think the bald look is the most open-minded look, how do I say... like you've got nothing to hide. No hidden agenda. People are not distracted by any hair style, but see your smile and eyes, how you really are.
