"Sexiest Man Alive" Adam Levine Shaves Head...Internet Loses Its Mind

Well, as you could probably guess many male celebrities have shaved their head for one reason or another at some point. Whether it's an actor shaving it for a role in a film like Jake Gyllenhaal shaving his NW1 for End of Watch or Hugh Jackman in current box office mega-flop Pan it certainly happens in Hollywood. Singer/Songwriter/Actor/Judge on The Voice Adam Levine recently shaved his head, and rocked the look for the most current episode of The Voice in the US. You guessed it...people were blowing up Twitter in no time.

The men, mainly NW1 Blake Shelton, made jokes about him looking like Gandhi, Yul Brynner, a Bond film henchman, Dr. Evil, Andre Agassi, or just about any other bald person you can think of. The women were upset/angry as you could imagine saying typical things we've all heard before in regards to bald men like, "grow your hair back now!" Even Adam Levine himself roasted bald men in defense of his new "style" because he "shaved by choice." It's all in the link I provided. Just fun to see that bald is a fashion statement for those not cursed with early onset male pattern baldness. Enjoy/Loathe/Rage...whatever floats your boat.

This is why bald men are evil.

Since becoming bald I've never hated people more in my life. At least people that put down bald people. People are superficial morons who think they are righteous but are the biggest hypocritical b****s in the world. Drops mic and walks out.

Everyone that says balding is no big deal should put their money where their mouth is and shave their head down to a Norwood 6 horseshoe pattern.

Usual response you will get if you suggest that: "Whatever, you're obsessed with hair! You really have a problem man, let's change the subject!"

I call out these people on their bullshit. I'll keep pressing them on their lies until they're flat out embarrassed. Yes, I'm relentless.

They dont shave it that way cause the act is silly and it takes ages to grow back, be like me shaving my beard to prove a point, **** that lol. This is just another thread just to make yourself feel ****ty, out of all the people who want his hair back, think of the ones who didnt say anything cause they think nothing of it and think its silly to moan about it, or the ones who DO say its silly to moan about it, or the ones who like it etc, not everyone gonna like it deal with it.

I'm like this too. My friend called me out because I laughed at a woman who had a hook instead of a hand.

My other friend and I called her Captain Hook. We were on a boat when we met this woman, so yeah.

And of course, my friend who never misses an occasion to mock baldness said: "You can't laugh at that."

He goes on: "She has a lot of courage going to a trip in Iceland with a hand missing!"

Give me a break! Courage? How about going out in a bar with a full NW5 when you're only 22.

That's courage. I know, it might look more devastating to be missing a hand. But it doesn't compare with disfigurement.

When you're bald, you get openly mocked by everyone, because hey, it's only baldness, so it's open season!

Who cares if baldness cripples you mentally: "Haha he has no hair!" But don't you dare laughing at the woman missing a hand or at the fat girl!

People who lose limbs can in fact quickly come to terms with it after the initial shock. They can even become as happy as they were before their accident.

We all know you never really get over baldness. And you certainly will never reach the level of happiness you had when you were NW1.

Walking in a bar with a Norwood whatever is not courage dude, specially as a guy, but going round with a hook? different story, i mean i wouldnt careless but still.

FredTheBelgian said:

It was for me, especially after that event where the five guys sang "HE HAS NO HAIR!"

You can be sure the girl with the hook never had people singing "SHE HAS NO HAND!" to her.

But I guess that kind of humiliation is reserved to bald men only.

Baldness truly is the last bastion of politically incorrectness.

I hope dont sound like a dick i dont mean to, but im just looking at other point of view, if you was to have a NW5 grown out noone would bat an eye, but a hand as a hook they would.

FredTheBelgian said:

Yes, you're right. But at least, people will leave you the f-ck alone.

Not with baldness, they won't hesitate to point the finger and laugh out loud.

This is true because baldness is the ONLY condition where it's socially acceptable and encouraged to humiliate.

You can't openly laugh at fat people, crippled people, people with acne, midgets etc.

But baldness? Go for it! No one around will bat an eyelash, in fact they will probably laugh along.

Well people like that are not worth it, if you was there and saw someone being dissed for whatever reason you would think the guy was a tosser and ignore them. Things like that remind me of when i was ganged up on in the school gym, all cause i was doing an exercise not as fast lol, its not nice but what can you do? got to move on.

I dont know but im sure you would get weird looks all the time if you had a hand as a hook, those looks where they are pretending to be looking at a pic by you or something. And im sure if there is a group willing enough to diss a random bald guy in the pub like in your casem im sure theywould do it with you hook as a hand.

Yes, but at least you get actual sympathy for having lost a limb.

FredTheBelgian said:

That's the usual argument. Well the majority of the population is not worth it then. Humanity isn't worth it!

Why not become a bald recluse? What can you do? Anything to resolve the situation: medication, hair transplants, concealers.

I didn't like to be humiliated on a regular basis, which is why I had my hair transplant.

You get dicks thats life, if i had that mindset i would of gave up years ago and missed out meeting my best friends, you got to move on.

Most people like me see hairloss as nothing since you can go on living life like before, while if you lost lets say a leg theres many things you cant do what you could do before.

They wouldn't. And if they did, all the people around would gang on them, telling them how much of a horrible person they are.

The group said person is with would probably be the people ganging up on the bullies though.

Being really short is similar - out of your control, emasculating, impacts your appearance/desirability and get openly mocked for it.

Your face is still the single most important factor. Hair loss destroys it.

Dude dissing someone is never ok regardless what you have, i mean joking with friends is different, but REAL hate is not cool. I worried as you know about hairloss, but its still nothing in MY eyes compared to losing a limb, but obviously not everyone has the same mindset. A worry is a worry though and god knows how many worries what dont seem that bad to many but i still worried about it.

You're not 'worrying' about hair loss. You're suffering from hair loss. Psychologically it's not worrying, it's much worse (depression, anxiety, lack of self esteem, etc.). Those are 'serious' problems too. There's no point in comparing hair loss to other conditions. This isn't a race to see who deserves the most sympathy, the least sympathy, or none at all. I've said this countless times;

Everybody's problems are relative.

And since all of us here on HairLossTalk.com (and other forums) have this problem, that's really the only thing that should be discussed. None of us is in any position to say which condition is more or less worthy of attention, sympathy, treatment, research for a cure, solutions, etc. Who's to make that call? And at what point do you draw the line? Is having cancer and being on your deathbed worse than hair loss? Yes, of course. What if it's mild cancer that is treated solved regularly? Is that worse than hair loss considering there's no solution for us? What about other things? How about comparing hair loss to acne, or obesity, or perhaps a torn ACL that limits mobility. I have tinnitus... but if given the choice, I'd rather only have tinnitus than baldness where as others see it differently, and some have attempted suicide over it... my mom has it, and even contemplated suicide. All these comparisons only create a divisive atmosphere and bring down the efforts to bring awareness to the problem and HOPEFULLY some kind of solution.

So to say to 'it could be worse than hair loss' to someone like me or a young kid being completely rejected from a basic human need as love and belonging to a community (factual, look into Maslow's hierarchy of human needs) and has depression as a result of being viewed as a disgusting bald loser... THAT just adds salt to the wound. It's extremely insulting.

Dude what you said here i have pretty much said on the lines of here trust me i know. I also know about depression and anxiety AND lack of esteem been there and done that, but again i know and like you said its no competition with who had lets say depression worse.

We're all judged by our looks. It's always been that way. So in an effort to look as good as possible in an effort to fit in socially and find a mate we go to great lengths. People don't go to the gym to be "healthy." They go to the gym because they want to look good naked. Women glob on pounds of makeup and concealers to cover up acne, scars, crows feet, and any other thing you can think of. We do these things because we want to be liked and to get laid. Hair loss for men is something you can't go to the gym and fix. You can't fix it by spending 45 minutes in the mirror with an eye lash curler.

Hair loss for most young men is really the first sign of your own mortality you'll get in your young life. You realize that you're on the clock here on Earth. It's also one of the first times that you'll feel totally out of control. Going to school, going to work, paying your bills, having a fun night out with friends... these are all things that you could always control. Losing your hair, however, it's probably the first time you've ever felt totally out of control. So for others who have yet to experience this truly horrific experience to not only lack sympathy, but to ridicule you -- and it be socially acceptable -- for something that you cannot control is not only sad, it's downright demoralizing.

Are there worse things that can happen to you in life? Sure there are, but it doesn't change how you're perceived. Stupid people say things like, "So what? It's only hair. You could have Parkinson's Disease or something. Get over it." Truth be told, someone with that disease is for sure eating a big sh!t sandwich. However, we're all still here eating a marginally smaller sh!t sandwich because of our male pattern baldness. Just because our sandwich has less sh!t on it, doesn't change the fact that we're still eating a sh!t sandwich. So those people that are derided for never getting over the notion that they're going -- or are already -- bald are well within their rights to be upset at their balding situation that will forever make them a target of socially acceptable ridicule. That's all I'll say on the matter, fellas.

Hair loss destroyed my face then my mind went soon after.

Yes. New signature!
