http://www.baldingforum.com/photos/081120_cleese.jpgActor/comedian John Cleese, possibly best known from his days with Monty Python, has made a public admission to a hair transplant he’s had. It’s difficult to tell how much of an effect it has had though, since I can’t seem to find good photos to compare. So popular, particularly in the UK, that it warranted 2 articles in the same paper about it:
John Cleese: I’ve had a hair transplant (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/3448384/John-Cleese-Ive-had-a-hair-transplant.html)
Fawlty follicles: John Cleese admits to hair transplant (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/3451947/Fawlty-follicles-John-Cleese-admits-to-hair-transplant.html)
Even so, going public about a hair transplant is courageous, but it should not be. Public embarrassment is a result of an old association that hair loss reflects a lack of masculinity and with that hangover from the old days, that image remains. In addition, doing a hair transplant suggests that the men who do it are vain, yet this is really a take charge issue in getting the man in the mirror to look like he wants to look. No one likes paying the price of aging, so a hair transplant which often subtracts years from a person’s appearance, allows the man in the mirror to look more youthful. Try to imagine him without hair and I think that you will get his message.
