What Famous Bald Celebrities Looked Like When They Had Hair

When tough-guy actor Jason Statham was younger and did have hair, he looked like any fresh-faced Hollywood stud. Or rather, a diving stud, according to an old video that shows him partaking in his mid-air somersault skills at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland (yes, he was a competitive diver, as if he wasn't already impressive enough). However, these days, he's another star who has not only embraced being bald, but it's also one of the reasons he's just as "sexy as ever," as ET Canada points out. "There is simply no other man out there who rocks a bald head quite like the debonair Statham. After years of Jason being a shining example for bald-headed men everywhere, we simply couldn't imagine him sporting any other 'do."

If others out there are considering emulating Statham's clean-shaven style, it's definitely the way to go, according to hairstylist Mia Santiago of Sharon Dorram at Sally Hershberger in New York City, who told Allure, "He looks amazing."

"He doesn't Bic it — you don't have to bust out the shaving cream and be Mr. Clean — but when you have a receding hairline, keep your hair at a closer crop," Hershberger added. She also explained that "when you try to keep the top of your hair long to cover up baldness, that's when people actually look at it (and think you're trying too hard)." And if there's something that Statham is effortlessly good at, it's looking effortlessly good.
