40+ Celebrity Men Who Are Far Less Bald Now Than They Used to Be

John Travolta’s Ever-Changing Hairline

Hair is a major part of women’s identities. It’s the first thing people see, and bad hair can ruin the day entirely. What many fail to recognize is that good hair is just as important to men, and balding is scary. From John Travolta to Steve Carell, we’ve compiled a list of celeb men that have a full head of hair now, although they seemed to be thinning at one point.

John Travolta’s Ever-Changing Hairline

John Travolta is a household name. He’s done it all, from musicals like Grease and Hairspray to movie classics like Pulp Fiction and Saturday Night Fever. He’s had a long and successful career, much of which has involved great hair.

He was balding, as most older men do (he’s 68 now, after all!), but suddenly he wasn’t anymore. We totally understand the change, but we think he looks great either way. In 2019, he shaved his head entirely and looks even better!

Jude Law, Still a Heartthrob

Jude Law is a bit of a heartthrob. Tons of women have fawned over the accent, the eyes, and his entire appearance for years. He may be nearly 50 now, but he still looks great, although his hairline suffered a little in the early 2010s.

He took care of that problem in 2014, though, and he’s back to his full-headed, sparkly-eyed self. It paid off since he’s still going strong as an actor, appearing in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore in 2022.

James Nesbitt Isn’t Ashamed

James Nesbitt is a Northern Irish actor, currently starring in the series Bloodlands. He’s been in a lot of other films and series as well. In the early 2000s, his hairline began to recede a little.

Nesbitt has been very open about having two hair transplants, which is great. Men shouldn’t feel ashamed for choosing to get a hair transplant. It’s entirely their choice whether they want to go fully bald or not, and they have a right to take a different path!

Kevin Costner Fills Out

Kevin Costner may not be as big of a name now as he used to be, but at 67 years old, the man has plenty of accolades. He’s won two Golden Globes, two Academy Awards, and three other awards for various things.

He’s also a producer, director, and musician on top of being an actor. He went the transplant route, and you can see how it really fills out his hairline again. Now, if only we could convince him to get rid of that goatee.
