Johnny Depp is an interesting one. I've noticed from watching his earliest movies he seemed to have a receding hairline, but that thing has to be the slowest receding hairline in human history.

1990: temple recession, front hairline seems to have drifted back slightly. He's ~27 years old

1996ish: Corners of hairline seem to be thinning further, ~33 years old

2009: Hairline seems to be receded slightly more, but after 19 years, not too much more compared to 1990.

And of course at any point in his career he could just grow it out and hide any recession

1996 is questionable.

notice the discolouration, and miniaturization on temples compared to the forelock.

Thats without a doubt the start of male pattern baldness. Its a big U

Wrong.

Most men who get into the p**rn industry partake in homosexual acts, and very few make a name for themselves in the heterosexual world of pornography.

Most these guys do G4P

That's laughable. Most p**rn chicks would screw anybody. I'm not saying bald guys can't get hot chicks because they do, but for anyone to use a p**rn guy as an example is completely deluded.

Funny you brought him up, recognised him straight up. I remember a "behind the scenes scene" and he joked this girl hates acting with him. The cameraman then asked the girl why's that? She goes he is hairless. At the time I thought she meant his body lol.

He looks good as a baldie but I still wouldn't want to look like that.

wow from that angle his hair looks only nw2

That's the pattern I have. Sometimes the camera angle makes you look better/worse with that spiked style. Now I just do a side parting, less hassle.

dont forget the women are being PAID!

In p**rn its WHO you know when you are male. His buddy is probably a producer (or even himself).

I highly doubt hes the one ladies are lining up to work with, lets be serious.

what im saying is you can not use him as an example of a bald guy who nails hot chicks because thats his job. plus doesnt he have a massive dingaling.... sure that helps lol

The only thing that matters is the real world. p**rn, celebs, musicians, models, etc. are all irrelevant.

I am not saying I believe this, but I have seen this guy used as an example many times as a bald guy that gets laid.

yea so true. i'm tired of people using extremely high status guys as examples . . . . . ugh we aren't celebs x.x

cherry picking is what it is. . . . . . the counterexample that occurs every tenth time doesn't mean **** . . . . . . its a logical fallacy

i guess at the least mentioning that one bald guy who gets cute girls helps remind us it isn't impossible . . . . . but meh as we often point out here the bald guys that are successful have compensating factors

Isn't it ridiculous that some balding actors have to put on a wig just to get on a film but non-balding actors who get roles that are award baiting shave their heads and wear fake thinning hair like these examples as if they're saying "hey look at me, I have hair but I'm playing a bald guy, gimme me an Oscar":

I think it's more to do with popularity. Look at Bruce Willis, and Jason stathem baldness never stopped them. Then there's mark strong who plays a lot of villain characters. And not forgetting Samuel Jackson. If a character needs hair then they'll just put a wig on the actors.
