Those 2 have not much to do with it, since there are hundreds of millions on people that have neither of those problems in the EU and USA alone and they still age just fine.
I’m not sure how people here are claiming “genetics” when this is clearly hair implants. Implants are fairly cheap overseas and even cheaper in the States when you’re a multimillionaire (relative to differential in income vs an average person).
People forget that looking good, investing in yourself, staying in shape and cosmetic procedures are a part of their jobs as actors and they’ll do it just like anybody else doing their jobs.
People overestimate genetics in most cases, when the answer is really simple: maintenance.
Some people don't go bald with age, not really. Is it so hard to believe? None of my grandparents or parents have had any bald spots, grandma from mom's side having a thic-ass braid halfway down her back.
He's aged pretty well, but not amazingly. Also, people underestimate how much hair is needed to look like that with good products. Arguably he might have thinner hair than he did when he was in Trainspotting, but it certainly doesn't look it the way he wears it
But probably you guys are just overestimating how much hair an average person drops in 20 years
I actually have a pretty thick head of hair for my age.
The only reason we’re commenting on his hair is because his hair seems to have grown in texture and thickness with time and it’s apparent that it’s grafted looking at just the texture alone.
Genetics while playing a great role in anatomy does not reverse the effects of aging and taking care of yourself via cosmetic procedure because it’s part of your job along with a healthy lifestyle goes a long way to put off genetic health risks.
He probably uses dye for the color. As for not balding that’s fully genetic. Some people are blessed with a full head of hair until they die. Others lose it at 20.
My brother is as bald as the day he was born. I, however, have a wonderful mane. He’s only three years older than I am, but he lost his hair a long time ago.
Not everyone has male pattern baldness. My dad didn't have a bald spot when he died, and none of my grandparents have either. Although half of them are dead as well.
But yeah, if you do have shitty genes for hair, you can fix it with money.
If you receding or going bald. Minoxidil and finasteride will help slow things down or even help with regrowth if you lucky.
Minoxidil is topical (usually) and finasteride is a pill. You go on fin when you have a hair transplant so if you going down that route you might as well try fin first.
It always amuses me that we're supposed to believe that in the span of 5 years Obi-wan goes from looking like Ewan McGregor to looking like Alec Guinness.
I recently had a friend tell me I "don't age" or "age in reverse." Something like that. My secret?
I was way, way fat when I was younger. My head looked like a thumb with vaguely discernible facial features. I was pushing 300 pounds and miserable. Truly hated myself. I steadily lost weight and mostly learned to keep it off (keto was huge, but not totally essential), then slowly added muscle. I'm not jacked. But the net effect is I look less like a puddle of misery than I used to.
Also Minoxidil! $30 for six-month-plus supply of the Walmart brand and it's been working better than expected, even at only half the recommended amount.
