Well, primarily I would like to apologise for such a cliche post. But Im sure that somewhere along the line, normally at the beginning, everybody has googled celebrity HT or at least has found results based around celebritys.

Okay, so we have all heard rumours of Ben Affleck,and seen close ups of Mr. Travoltas hair system, internet photos of Matthew McCounaghy(sp?) etc, etc....

But my question is, why do some multi-millianaired stars, not undertake a HT. A general question I know but avalid one I feel. Elton John is well known for wearing a piece, why does he not undergo work. Bruce Willis perhaps? In the UK, my homeland, many footballers that earn obscene wages. Whilst I understand the normal issues, of donor density and realistic results, plus other variables. I sometimes wonder, as Im sure you do to.

Having said that, Im sure that many stars have undergone surgery and achieved results without suspect or media awareness which is surely their aim. A broad subject I know, but a valid one I feel,in such an media conscious era.

Any thoughts?...

Just because you have millions it does not make you an expert in hair tranplantation. Remember, the good HT's you never notice .. Take a look at Chritian Slater, he had a very good one done! Then look at Nic cage, absolutely horrible..

Many other celebs like some of the ones you mentioned might not be able to acheive the results they want for example Elton john would never have hair like that with a HT..

James Caan from the show Las Vegas looks like he has had work done but I really think his hair transplant looks weird.
Im sure he could have got a better result than that.

He may have. I dont know. He said on Jay Leno that he sprays his hair on for that TV show Las Vegas

Always a fun topic...

Moved to "Open Hair Loss Topics" section.

I cant work out if Sting has had a HT as I saw a picture the other day and his hair looks thicker than it did 15 years ago at front.I think he has had some subtle work down,nothing drastic though.

No doubt he had one .. It was a good one because you cannot tell and it is subtle and blends in with the natural pattern

Yeh good example of subtle improvement in Sting.
He keeps himself in good shape too.....it all helps.

Joel from the TV show the soup On E TV had work done for sure

Manu Ginobili needs one badly!!!

i hope he heard of Propecia as that crown looks bigger and bigger each season. the frontal corrosion is now noticeable big time.

I'm pretty sure I read that Elton John had one years ago. It was bad, and maybe used up lots of precious donor too. So, he's forced to wear a wig.

Celebrities are just like us regular folks in some ways: Some spend their money on an HT without thinking twice, others research it and decide it's not worth the risk (or realize they are poor candidates), and still others are not that bothered by being bald.

What i find strange about celebrities such as the massive movie stars such as Tom Cruise, Bradd pitt, Jonny Depp, Matt damon, Daniel Caig etc have never lost anything?

The law of averages surely means that one of them should of lost a fair bit by now with them being in the indusrty for 20 plus years. Did they get screened for hairloss when they were younger to make sure they are worthy of the fame, fortune etc in the future times. Oh yeah, James Bond has never lost any cos he's James Bonf of course!

calv, in my group of friends 2 out of 10 (we're all mid-late 30s) have experienced hairloss. the rest have nice, full, healthy heads of hair. it's just an odds and genetics game...

Remember sometimes people won't lose hair until they are in their 40's so they are not out of the forest yet ..

true, but their family hairloss history is also in their favor...

Here is a picture I found on Brenden Fraser.

Actor Mike O'Malley can use a HT. He wears hats everywhere he goes even on that TV show he did he wore a hat all the time.

He's better off getting a hair transplant.

Lol, you mentioned Johnny Depp, but he's HAD a hair transplant in the frontal region which was quite effective.

Good ones: McConahey, Slater, Clooney, Damon,

Bad: Cage (density issues), caan (needs to let it go gray),

ok: billy crystal, letterman, biden, sting, fraser, kimmel????,

wigs: travolta, affleck, billy bob thornton

recent: burt reynolds, elton john. They may wear systems in the back so hard to tell

--....about one third of all famous guys in movies and films have had work. Before and after pictures dont lie. More hair? HT.

yeah there are the notable hollywood stars and such that have trouble with it... but as for the "law of averages" thing you gotta remember that some of these guys get famous and STAY famous for a reason... its all about the look, and unfortunately for us we got the short end of the stick...

think about it this way... yeah if the averages prevail then there must be even more actors who have faded out in their thirties for this very reason...

Celeb hair vet,

Where are you getting all these names from? Im not at all doubting you but am very suprised to read that George Clooney and Matt Damon have undergone HT's. I have also heard the Johnny Depp theory before and seen some hairline pics, but its a tough call!

Any pics or like to prove this.
