Is David Beckham Balding?

My daughter is a huge fan of Beckham especially now that he’s playing soccer in Los Angeles. She was looking at some Beckham photos and found this posting somewhere and forwarded it to me since she knows I’m all over the hair loss forums. Is this just bad lighting? It looks like he’s combing his hair forward a little but it could just be that his hair falls forward when its short. I know this is superficial, but I am just curious if you can tell between possible thinning or bad lighting (or a combination of the two perhaps). Thanks

The photographs in that link suggest that he is thinning, although I have seen many photos of him where his hair looks pretty darn good (see photo at right).

I would think that he would benefit from a miniaturization study and if he does have miniaturized hair, he could probably get a some kind of deal with Merck to become a Propecia advocate, particularly if that soccer thing doesn’t work out for him. Or as the rest of the world calls it, football.
