Famous bald men, before and after they lost their hair

Illustrious bald men in Hollywood did not always have this look. There was a time when they had hair and looked completely different. This is the case of Bruce Willis, a true seducer of the 80s who now boasts of an immaculate bald head. Let's go over some famous bald men and their hairdos from the past.

With his head shaved, the actor has actually strengthened his image of a mature heartthrob in Hollywood.

In  'Indecent Proposal', back in 1993, Robert Redford had a better mane than Woody Harrelson.

The actor has finally embraced his hair loss and opted for the full shave that looks good on him.

At the beginning of the century, when he became known as the Scorpion King, this was Dwayne Johnson's luscious hair.

As an adolescent, he even had a mustache! Or, as he likes to call it, "a dead caterpillar on my lip." This image is from The Rock's Instagram account.

Now, the best-paid action hero in Hollywood shows off his bald head with elegance.

The impact of James Spader's transformation was great. Everyone knew him as the blonde in 'Stargate' (1994) and then as a brunette in the hit series Boston Legal.' The Emmy he's holding here, in 2005, was for his role as the eccentric lawyer Alan Shore in that show.

And suddenly, we got Raymond Reddington. It was 2013 when NBC presented 'The Blacklist', and the actor appeared with completely shaved hair.

At one time, Jason Statham was an Olympic swimmer and had some hair.

Ever since he became a professional Hollywood driver and action star, the actor has gone for the aerodynamics of a fully bald head.

He was one of the Hollywood hunks of the 80s, but we could see his hairline moving up. No problem at all, bald guys look great too!

Now a cult actor, Bill Murray resists full shaving despite the fact that atop his head there's little hair left.

It was 1976 and the Oscar-winning actor wore the hairstyle of the moment: parted on one side with rebellious bangs.

His relevance as an actor has been inversely proportional to the presence of hair on his head.

Interestingly, the photo is from 1983, when he played Gandhi and completely shaved his head for the role.

Needless to say, he looks great with a completely shaved head.

As he accumulated hits, he lost hairs.

The totally shaved head of Billy Joel has been accompanied by his everlasting white goatee.

The 'bad guy' of 'Titanic' promised to make him a Hollywood star, but he stayed by the wayside. And so did his hair.

Billy Zane has long gone for the full shave and sports it with tremendous elegance.

His arrival in Wrestling was like this: poker hair, slick and spiky. However, gel, if not used in moderation, can take its toll on a person's hair.

The actor has kept his muscles but not his hair. In his favor, we will say that shaved hair looks much better than the bakala look of 20 years ago.

'The Killing' made Gustaf Skarsgard a world star in 2012. By then, his hair was already preparing for an imminent farewell.

Floki, his character in 'Vikings', clearly showed the evolution of his hairdo. From 2013 to 2019, the public saw in the series how his new look took shape, and now he's opted for near-total shaving, close to zero.

Howie Mandel has a great 80s hairdo in this photo, taken in 1988. Pure nostalgia.

The multi-talented artist opted for a full shave a long time ago and he was right. It looks good on him.

Not so long ago, back in 1989, John Malkovich still hadn't made the move to full shaving. In addition, in 'Dangerous Friendships,' he wore a wig, so he didn't need his natural hair.

Today, the actor has an elegant look without a single hair on his head.

He had luscious hair and danced the nights away in the 70s and 80s, but time passed and Saturday night fever causes, among other things, some alopecia.

For a while, there were suspicions he was wearing a toupee. Then, all at once, the actor appeared with a completely shaved head. This is John Travolta's look now.

In 1991, the most mediatic surfer had it all: fame, youth, money, talent, America's most beautiful eyes, and hair.

Three decades later, Kelly Slater retains many of the elements of 1991, except for his youth and hair, although he continues to be handsome without either of them.

Some hair on the sides, a beard to compensate... this was Mark Strong at the beginning of the century.

Today, without a hair on his head, the actor has established himself as an icon of elegance in Grand Old Hollywood style.

Michael Keaton was, among other things, an excellent Batman and one of the most desired men in Hollywood of the 90s.

Over the years, he has gotten much acclaim from critics and awards committees, most recently thanks to the series 'Dopesick.' At the same time, the actor has lost some of his hair. He continues to be an eternal seducer though.

This image is from 2005, so Rick Hoffman can be lauded for stoically enduring a hairdo that had very little hair to work with.

Today, there are more light than dark spots on his head, but the almost completely shaved hair looks better on him.

In 1996, Stanley Tucci looked almost older than he does today.

For years, his bald head has been the hallmark of this elegant Hollywood star. A must-see is his Instagram account, where even cooking posts get record numbers of likes.

It may not seem like it, but this photo is from 2006. The haircut screams "90s"...

Fully shaved hair suits him much better.
