Celebs Who Have Had A Hair Transplant

Actor John Travolta

With a career spanning decades, the actor is now 68 year old - so a hair transplant being needed should come as no surrpise. It's believed he had a hair transplant in recent years during his acting career.

Actor Tom Hanks

Image Source / Emrah CinikIn many respects, actor Tom Hanks never seems to age, and many people have grown up with his movies - which are still going strong today. Whether it's Forrest Gump, The Da Vinci Code or Toy Story, everyone has a favourite Tom Hanks movie. His hair, however, seemed to be the only indication of his aging - but he said goodbye to hair loss with an apparent hair transplant.

Entrepreneur Elon Musk

Image Source / Emrah CinikIf there's anyone who can afford a hair transplant, it's Elon Musk. The busy entrepreneur responsible for companies like Tesla appeared to have thinner hair when he was younger, possibly male pattern baldness, and decided to rectify that when caring for his image with an apparent hair transplant to ensure thicker locks.

Music Legend Elton John

Image Source / Emrah CinikSir Elton John has had many, many looks over the years, but you'll be forgiven for focusing on his bright glasses and costume rather than his hairline. But when he was younger, you can see that he was most definitely thinning on top. He has since apparently had a hair transplant, leaving thicker hair and a wavy fringe.

Actor Mel Gibson

Image Source / Emrah CinikLegendary acting name Mel Gibson from Braveheart, Mad Max and many other hit blockbuster movies, is also a producer and screenwriter who began to show signs of hair loss when he was younger.

Actor Nicolas Cage

He experienced hair loss during his career but allegedly had a hair transplant to return to those thicker locks.

Musician And Actor Jamie Foxx

Image Source / Emrah CinikIt would be harder to tell on someone like Jamie Foxx in regard to a hair transplant because they've always kept their hair cut very close. But the star of hit Tarantino film Django, Unchained as well as a riveting music career has had his changing hairline be the topic of many discussions, suggesting a transplant.

Actor James Nesbitt

Image Source / Emrah CinikJames Nesbit (or Jimmy Nesbit) is a Northern Irish actor who has dominated TV screens and recently hit movies like The Hobbit where he played loveable Bofur.

Actor Jon Cryer

Image Source / Emrah CinikIf you're a fan of Two and a Half Men then you'll know that Jon Cryer is well-known as Alan Harper from the hit TV show, but he's had a movie career spanning years including classics like Pretty in Pink with Molly Ringwald. It was clear he was suffering from hair loss and appears to have thicker hair following a hair transplant.

Actor Jeremy Piven

Image Source / Emrah CinikYou'll recognise Jeremy Piven if you're a fan of the iconic Entourage series, and you may also recognise his bald/receding appearance that happened at one stage in his career. He appears to have had a hair transplant if those longer, fuller locks are anything to go by.

Actor Hugh Laurie

One of his most notable roles is of course the incomparable Dr House.

Actor Steve Carell

Image Source / Ennoia HealthThe American actor is an absolute hit in many comedies, including Anchorman and 40 Year Old Virgin, but if you're a fan of the US Office, you'll know him as Michael Scott - and you'll also remember his changing hair. Carell's hairline has undergone a few changes, suggesting a receding hair line, but these days he has a luscious and thick head of hair.

Actor Sean Penn

Image Source / CosmeticiumAmerican actor, producer, director and activist Sean Penn has a successful career that's seen him working on many different films and projects - and he's always kept his looks, though the W-shaped hair loss pattern was obvious to many. In recent years, he appears to have tackled that.

Actor Rob Brydon

Image Source / Emrah CinikRob Brydon is a hit in comedy and acting circles, most notably with TV dramas and panel shows. His roles include Gavin & Stacey, Would I Lie To You and The Trip. His hair loss became notable and he apparently got a hair transplant to deal with this, looking many years younger.

Actor Billy Bob Thornton

Image Source / Emrah CinikBilly Bob Thornton is no stranger to a masterpiece of a movie role, including Blockbuster hits like Armageddon. Billy Bob Thornton, despite his many TV and movie roles, still manages to keep a low profile - but what is suggested in regard to his personal life is a return to a thicker head of hair through transplant treatment.

Actor Edward Norton

Image Source / Emrah CinikYou'll recognise Edward Norton from unforgettable movies like Fight Club as well as the title role in the Hulk. What may be harder to recognise is a balder look on the man who is so often seen with a full head of hair. It's suggested that he had a hair transplant to retain that fuller look.

Actor Simon Pegg

Image Source / Emrah CinikIconic British actor Simon Pegg has appeared in many different roles over the years, but is more notable for his comedy hits like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz - but he's also recognisable for huge blockbuster movies like Star Trek and Mission Impossible.

Actor Ben Affleck

Image Source / Emrah CinikBen Affleck is an actor and producer who's had a variety of different roles, including unforgettable movies like Gone Girl and recently breaking into the MCU as Batman. When it comes to his hair, it's never been too obvious he might be balding, but evidently Affleck might have had some work done to tackle receding, thinning hair.

Musician Chris Martin

Image Source / Emrah CinikThe frontman of hit band Coldplay, Chris Martin sported a close-cut hair do in his younger days, possibly as a way to handle his M-shaped hair loss. In later life, he returned to fuller, thicker locks styled on top, suggesting a hair transplant to restore his hair health.

Formula 1 Racing Driver Lewis Hamilton

Image Source / Emrah CinikLewis Hamilton has earned countless victories in Formula 1 races, and never seems to have aged even though now close to 40. But his hair has been an indication of hair loss issues, but it looks as though he might have had a transplant to restore that hairline - and he's now even grown his hair out.

Footballer David Beckham

Image Source / Emrah CinikDavid Beckham has always retained a successful style as much as he's retained a successful football career, but it appeared that his hair was thinning with evident baldness. It's suggested he had hair transplant surgery to keep that iconically styled head of hair we know today.

Model And TV Personality Calum Best

Image Source / Emrah CinikCalum Best is the British TV star and son of legendary footballer George Best, who has also enjoyed a career in modelling. Perhaps it was the pressures of modelling that drove him to allegedly get a hair transplant, giving him a much fuller look on top than he had through his balder stage.

Soap Opera Actress Stephanie Davis

Image Source / Emrah CinikStephanie Davis is a face familiar on UK TV screens, and for people who know her face, they'll also be aware of Stephanie's struggles with a longer forehead. Deciding she'd like to do something about it. the English actress underwent a hair transplant in order to lower her hairline and therefore shorten her forehead, too.

Singer Songwriter A. J. McLean

Image Source / Emrah CinikAlexander James McLean is used to having his face (and hair) in the spotlight as a singer from band the Backstreet Boys, songwriter, dancer and even a model. With the latter, there's even more pressure to have stylish locks as opposed to balding, which is what led him to a hair transplant.

Choreographer Jason Gardiner

Image Source / Emrah CinikGaining fame on hit shows like Dancing on Ice, choreographer Jason Gardiner knows how important it is to look good on the dance floor, and how hair can always make a difference. It seemed that Gardiner went through hair loss, leading him to choose a transplant.

Footballer Wayne Rooney

Image Source / Emrah CinikWayne Rooney has gone through many different looks, and his hair is most well known for being thin and close-cut. It appeared that his hair was only getting thinner, and with a generous footballer's salary, Rooney wouldn't have been averse to spending the money on a hair transplant.

Football Coach Antonio Conte

Image Source / Emrah CinikIn his days as a footballer, Antonio was a symbol for good looks, but even then his hair was on the thin side. He later moved into coaching instead of playing, and then seemed to sport a very thick, healthy head of hair, suggesting he's spent his well-earned cash on a hair transplant over the years.

Footballer Cesc Fabregas

Image Source / Emrah CinikFabregas earned fame, titles and recognition as a footballer for FC Barcelona as well as Arsenal - and one thing you can't fail to notice with a footballer is their hair when on the pitch.

Football Player Dimitar Berbatov

Image Source / Emrah CinikThe clubs Berbatov has played for include Tottenham and Manchester United. The Bulgarian footballer built a successful career, but when it came to his hair, it seemed he was losing rather than winning. His hair became thicker and more natural looking after an evident hair transplant.

Rugby Player Kyran Bracken

Image Source / Emrah CinikPlaying for England's national rugby team, Bracken has won a world cup title in his career - but in terms of his hair, it seemed he was losing, with thinner locks and problems with a receding hairline.

Actor Sylvester Stallone

Image Source / QuoraStallone has had a changing face to say the least over the years, and one of those changes have been his hair (and even the shape of his eyebrows). It's believed he had a hair transplant around 2013 due to his hairline looking lower on the forehead and fuller.

Chef Gordon Ramsay

Image Source / MCAN HealthAlongside his entertaining foul mouth, Gordon Ramsay's hair has been the other iconic feature of the TV chef, with the generous head of blonde locks. He's never publicly admitted to treatment but his changing hair looks like it received treatment for a receding hairline.

Actor Jude Law

Image Source / Matt DominanceJude Law wouldn't appear to have aged at all if it wasn't for his changing hairline, and what looked like hair loss in the past years. He used to wear hats a lot in public, presumably to hide the hair loss, until it seemed as though he might have received treatment for a fuller head of hair.

Actor Matthew McConaughey

Image Source / TMZMatthew McConaughey has claimed that he's only ever used a medication treatment to tackle his hair loss rather than a hair transplant. But due to his receding hairline in recent years switching to a fuller head of hair and a more forward hairline, it's possible that he's had a hair transplant to treat it.

Actor Kevin Costner

Image Source / CosmeticiumKevin Costner's hair used to be at odds with his face - while he always appeared young and handsome, his hair appeared to be much older and more thinning. He's never confirmed or denied seeking a hair transplant, but it looks as though it could have been a possibility in the early 2000s due to a lower hairline and more hair thickness on top.

Singer Robbie Williams

Image Source / Belgravia CentreSinger Robbie Williams has spoken openly about his hair transplant. He got a hair transplant back in 2013 following an issue of balding, but in recent years it seems his hair has reverted back to its original ways.

Football Manager Jürgen Klopp

Image Source / ArchysportKlopp confirmed during a press interview that he'd indeed had a hair transplant - and not only that, but he was really happy with the result! After previously suffering hair loss, he sought treatment back in 2012 and went through with a successful transplant in Germany.

Singer Enrique Iglesias

Image Source / FacebookEnrique has always been known for his good looks and romantic ballads, but his hair may not have got the memo. He's never publicly spoken about issues with hair loss, but his father - Julio Iglesias - went after a hair transplant, without success. It looked as though Enrique was suffering from hair loss, too, until his hair improved, possibly through a transplant.

Actor Al Pacino

Image Source / MensXPAl Pacino has long been suffering with obvious hair loss, though his decision to grow out his hair and style it in a longer fashion has helped him to look as though he has a healthier head of hair. It's not known for certain whether he's had a transplant, but his hair line does look lower down and fuller.

Basketball Player LeBron James

Image Source / TheSportsRushLeBron James hasn't spoken openly about getting a hair transplant, but there have been plenty of rumours. His hair loss was evident and then switched to a full head of head, so a transplant is highly likely. He's also been seen to have slight scarring on the back of his head, which also suggests a transplant.

President Joe Biden

Image Source / Matt DominanceIt's believed that Joe Biden has undergone not one, but up to 3, hair transplants in his lifetime, starting in the 1980s. It looks like he's possibly had a hair transplant or touch up in recent years, understandably before the election, and it's also been said that he's used Rogaine to help tackle hair loss.

Former President Donald Trump

Image Source / PharmicaIf there's anyone you might immediately think of when talking about hair, it's Donald Trump. No one knows for certain what's going on with that one, and he's never officially confirmed a hair transplant, but it does look like he may have had at least one transplant performed. His hair looks extremely thick for a man of his age, and we already know there have been plenty of rumours about whether it's actually real!

TV Personality Jamie Laing

Image Source / Daily StarJamie Laing confirmed that he'd had a hair transplant in recent years, back in 2018. He'd been facing rumours and negative comments about hair loss, especially when out pictured with his girlfriend, which pushed him to get a hair transplant for a thicker, fuller head of hair.

Commentator Joe Rogan

Image Source / Matt DominanceCommentator and podcaster Joe Rogan officially had a hair transplant performed back in 1995, but it seems his hair has been doing a little Benjamin Button-ing since. Rather than go from no hair to a full head of hair now, he's now bald but with a very visible scar that has come as a result of his original hair transplant to treat hair loss.

Actor Bradley Cooper

Image Source / Matt DominanceActor Bradley Cooper has rocked many different hair looks through the years, both long and short, but that's not the only thing that's been changing with the condition of his hair. It's not known for certain whether he's had a hair transplant, but around 2009 he appeared to have much thicker hair, so it's possible.

Comedian Jimmy Carr

Image Source / MCAN HealthComedian and host Jimmy Carr has not only spoken openly about having a hair transplant, but you can immediately see the rather shocking difference. Where he used to be known for a receding hair line, around 2020 he revealed a shiny new hairline and admitted to a transplant to fix his previous do.

Actor Kevin Spacey

Image Source / Plastic Surgery HitsActor Kevin Spacey appeared to be struggling with hair loss for quite a long time, and usually had short close-cropped hair. Around 2013, he appeared to have much thicker hair, showing off a full head of hair in public and suggesting a hair transplant. Experts have stated, however, that it appears he was wearing a hairpiece rather than having a transplant, so it's up for debate.

Tennis Player Rafael Nadal

Image Source / Iberia ClinicYou might not easily notice a hair transplant on a tennis player seeing as most of the time they might have a sweatband covering it. But in the early 2000s, it was clear that Spanish player Rafael Nadal was suffering from hair loss, until 2016 when he finally got a hair transplant in Spain.

Actor Joey Lawrence

Image Source / The Movie Database/WikipediaActor Joey Lawrence hasn't confirmed the rumours of a hair transplant, but he went from suffering obvious hair loss in the mid of his life to a full head of hair in recent years. Its rumoured that he may have had a hair transplant, especially because his widow's peak looks expertly perfect!

Footballer Christian Eriksen

Image Source / Cartilage Free CaptainChristian Eriksen is a Danish football player, who gained attention for his hair as well as for his footwork. He didn't have obvious hair loss but it was definitely there, and it's been claimed that he's since had a transplant to rectify it. The full head of hair he's been sporting in recent years certainly looks natural.
