how'd he keep his career after loosing his hair???


since the days of The One (with jet li) about 20 yrs ago, when he had some coverage. What does he have on people??? Unlike guys like billy zane.

Talent.

Another good example is Telly Savalas. His career didn't take off until he started shaving his head.

reply

Is the claim here that Terry Savalas had no acting talent until he shaved his head and went bald? 🤔

reply

No. He found a gimmick that worked for him and he used it.

It's well known that bald men are more virile. Hollywood has always tried to repress male virility, see the frontal nudity scandals for more information.

P.S. The way Statham gets away with it is his English accent. It confuses the Hollywood moguls, who are unable to concentrate on two things at the same time.

Bald is sexy.

reply

I think it just works for some dudes.

Personally, I shave my head and going bald would make things much easier.

Statham-tough guy

Zane-pretty boy

Bald is a look for real men, not sissies.

Jason had European investors backing him. Those films lifted him.
Americans productions had him pegged as a "bald bad guy" like in Cellular.
Euro trash fans lifted his stardom.

Billy Zane never had those backers. Also Billy Zane is not a nice guy. I have met him severel times.

Why do people who meet celebrities think they are qualified to make a judgement on wether they are nice or not? and then feel the need to publish it on the internet ?

I'd say say the treatment a celebrity hounding stalker received may not be typical .

reply

He was never known for his looks, he was known for being very badass and very funny.

And those are among the top five qualities that can make a bad man sexy! And since you're about to ask, for the other qualities that can make a bald man sexy, look to Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

reply

Yul Brynner
Telly Savalas
Patrick Stewart

and many others

There are a lot of cool bald guys who have had good movie/tv careers.

reply

Guys like Capt Picard and i guess Yul lost his hair early in his life.
