Hollywood sets the standard - and some people here still claim norwood 2 in your 30s is okay...

Come on man, you're cherry picking.

^ One of the biggest breakout stars of the past 5 years. eg. Guardians, Jurassic World.

^ All my female friends swoon over Chris Pine. Would he look better as NW1? Sure, but he's doing fine without it.

^ Current Captain America hairline. Never been sure if he's had an hair transplant or not...

^ Current hairline of current actor playing Superman.

^ Harry Styles who was a driving force in the success of 2017's Dunkirk (ie. brought in the teenage girl audience).

^ Ryan Reynolds (aka Deadpool, one of the highest grossing R-rated films of all time) with his hairline as of 2009 (pretty sure he's had an hair transplant since...).

Also Zack Effron's hairline has taken a beating from his steroids. The only reason it still looks amazing is he started with a reverse Norwood. If he keeps up the roids he'll be NW2+ soon as well.

There is no distinction between norwood 1 or 2 in hollywood. They get the same work.

Norwood 3> actors are fucked unless they are in their 50s and playing the mature, distinguished gentleman.

Its a double edged sword really. with all the advancements in hair restoration surgery in the past 30 years balding actors are dying out which perpetuates bald/balding being ugly, weird and undesirable.

They are irrelevant.

They were casts in movies that aimed for low iq balding rednecks..ofc they couldnt cast actors who make the audience aware of their own shortcomings

Vin Diesel's been bald his whole acting career and he's done incredibly well with a broad audience range. Don't disparage that. Yes it's rare, but it's still possible. Fast & Furious is one of the highest grossing series of movies of all time and continues to give him a license to print money. Lots of young people go watch his movies.

NW2 is still completely normal and socially acceptable for any man in his 20s and certainly his 30s+. If you are handsome and have a good head shape (ie. Hollywood actor), you can still have success beyond your wildest dreams at NW2 as per the examples I posted.

NW3+ is where the social handicap and Hollywood handicap kick in.

What was Jude Law in The Talented Mr. Ripley?

I was a teenager when I watched that movie and I still thought the entire time, "Jesus what the f***. How the f*** is this guy so handsome and how does he have such great hair?"

Not a flattering picture - just picked it to show his hair. Somewhere in the late NW2 or full NW3 range for sure. He's only been able to make it work due to incredibly top tier facial aesthetics and some decent charisma too.

Btw if you want to talk Hollywood Norwood 1 gods, then don't forget these two:

Jim Caviezel:

^Better hair in his 50s than most guys in their teens.

latest?cb=20160831132331.jpg

^Same hair quality at the same age as Caviezel.

I don't know if these guys started taking propecia since the day it came out or if they're just genetically gifted. But it's not the norm. Not even in Hollywood.

You can't tell me the scraggly temples of dainty 80s debut Seagal don't whisper intimate fantasies of your desire
