It’s unclear who exactly started the shaved head craze, but odds are it was Michael Jordan. Besides being arguably the greatest basketball player ever, MJ was incidentally a fashion icon. Back in the late 80s, the NBA, and the rest of the world, was sporting tight shorts and unshaved heads. Then Jordan started killing it on the court. He wore baggier shorts so he could fit his lucky North Carolina drawers underneath, and when he started losing his hair, he simply shaved it clean off.
However, let’s get one thing straight; Michael Jordan, or anybody else on earth, never wants to go bald. And they don’t want to shave their head every day either. But what’s the alternative? Grow it out like Pennywise the clown? Well actually, thanks to modern technology, the battle over baldness can be treated.
Another Chicago sports hero, Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, used to be a proud bald man. Then one day he showed up out of nowhere with a thick mane on his noggin. But instead of praise, people were flabbergasted. Hair had shattered Urlacher’s entire image. People wondered how this big, strong, confident man could be so insecure. How a champion’s ego was fragile enough to go under the knife.
He’s not alone. ABC News estimates there are 40 million bald men in the USA alone, and fighting baldness is a billion-dollar a year industry. Losing hair really freaks people out. For crying out loud, even cancer patients say that hair loss is what they dread most. So yeah, mankind’s inner conflict over baldness is pretty complex. And in an effort to lighten the mood, we wondered what some of the most famous faces in the world would look like, if they too were bald. Sometimes the results are hilarious! Other times the stars are barely recognizable, proving how powerful hair can be, and why people are so obsessed with it. Then sometimes, even bald, these celebs still look absolutely stunning. And those are the gems on this list that you balding sons of b’s should cherish. Bald is beautiful.
20. Katy Perry
If there is one thing we could all agree on, it’s that Katy Perry is hot as hell, and her music sells a ton, but is she really all that original? We think, nope. That’s why she never really wins big during awards season. Yes, she is likable, and yes, she can pull off tons of crazy looks, including bald (we think), but her soul and passion is rather questionable, in line with what lacks in Ariana Grande’s records. Even when Perry attempted to do some soul-searching on a collaboration she did with her then boyfriend John Mayer, called ‘Who You Love’, something was still missing and the track ended up flopping. She hasn’t released any new music lately, so let’s hope the next single will be more poignant, and she could match her personality with her looks.
19. Ariana Grande
There are a lot of list articles here at The Richest and some of the most popular ones beg to question, “What are celebs like in real life?” Well, we are very sorry Miss Grande but the verdict is in and your personality has not been very well received by your fans. In other words, many people have claimed (including proof from footage) that this young lady is not too fun to be around. She is known to act spoiled, soulless, demanding and very rude. And now that you get a glimpse of her without her full head of hair, are you any closer to gauging who she really is like inside? Behind that mane she looks pretty normal. But damn, can she ever sing.
