More Johnny Depp and Hair!
Sorry to bring this up yet again! I notice people ask you about Johnny Depp a lot. I’ve always really liked his hair and I too have noticed that he sometimes appears to be balding. I’ve seen a lot of photos in magazines, and now I see this online too: jezebel.com
Is it possible that he is balding and just uses some sort of cover-up sometimes? Thanks for the great blog, by the way.
Anything is possible, but I don’t think that this is balding. What you may be seeing is that when the hair is parted, the scalp is showing. We don’t know his density, but the black (or dark brown) hair and white skin accentuates the scalp. If he comes in for a miniaturization study, I will tell him if he has early miniaturization, but I wouldn’t publish that online for confidentiality reasons.
What bothers me about some peoples’ responses to MPB is the “misery loves company” effect. Of course, the majority are here because we’re concerned about our balding, but lets not try to pull everyone into the boat
The dude wears a hairpiece…its a well-known “secret” in Hollywood.
If you watch Donnie Brasco, he has his hair slicked all the way back. In a scene where he is walking across the street and filmed from behind, you can see a very evident bald spot at the back trying to be covered up.
