Here's What These 34 Famous Bald Actors Looked Like When They Had Hair
We're sure you're aware of The Rock. But there are plenty of other leading men who look better rocking a chrome dome.
For many guys, going bald is an unavoidable part of getting older. Or just an unavoidable piece of their genetics. But just because you're losing your hair doesn't mean you're losing your dashing good looks. These 34 men remind us that "bald" is just another style—and one that sometimes looks better.
Jason Statham (head of hair)
Statham in 2005's Revolver. Seriously, who is that man?

Like Willis, Statham has been blessed with the kind of head that is never conspicuous hairless. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (head of hair)
These days, it's an unfamiliar sight. While we like the Rock as a grimy-haired Hercules, we're just not used to any length of hair.

Not only is the Rock, somehow, even better looking buzzed, he also, somehow, pulls off the stubbled goatee. Not an easy feat.
Samuel L. Jackson (head of hair)
Here's Jackson in 1994, looking almost exactly the same as Jackson in any other decade. The man just does not age.

Jackson only two years later. We see you now, Nick Fury.
Jon Cryer (head of hair)
At the height of his Pretty in Pink fame, Cryer's long hair was nothing short of impressive.

What the actor now lacks in head hair, he's made up for in facial hair, often sporting a dark beard.
Woody Harrelson (head of hair)
Here's Harrelson in 1986, looking much less like the villainous/anti-hero character's he's been in the habit of playing lately.

One does not simply hunt zombies or genetically-modified "monkeys" with a full head of hair.
Vin Diesel (head of hair)
Diesel in 2006's Find Me Guilty. This has to be photoshopped, right?

Diesel is the third Fast and Furious entry on this list. Is this the era of the bald action man?
Terry Crews (head of hair)
Maybe it's the flat bangs buzz, but something doesn't feel quite right.

There he is! And like the Rock, Terry pulls off the bald plus goatee.
Patrick Stewart (head of hair)
Here's Stewart in 1975 and on some strange planet where the Captain has been forced to grow hair to blend in.

Stewart returned to his normal form.
Kevin James (head of hair)
Back when he was The King of Queens, James was known for his short, close-cropped cut.

In the actor's 2021 Netflix comedy The Crew, he debuted a new bald look.
J.K. Simmons (head of hair)
It's hard to find any evidence that J.K Simmons once had hair, and, yes, we know this is probably not his hair. But it's as close as we can get without digging into his yearbook.
J.K. Simmons (head mostly bare)
We don't care if you're rushing or dragging, but if you don't think Simmons owns the bald look, you can get the hell out of this band.
