Jude Law is finally owning his receding hairline/baldness: sexy or busted?

I’ve been following and covering Jude Law’s mysterious hairline for several years now. I feel bad for the guy, because when he was in his 20s, he was so impossibly beautiful, and I think his hair situation bothers him. His hairline really started to go wonky… oh, maybe five or six years ago? And that’s when some speculate that Jude began trying out hairplugs, with some mixed results that we detailed over the years. Maybe the plugs didn’t take in the long run, or maybe Jude was just tired of living with his hair sham, because these are new photos of a newly balding Jude in Paris yesterday, where he was promoting Sherlock Holmes with Guy Richie. I’m completely in favor of dudes shaving their heads when they start to go bald, so I approve of this look for Jude. It makes him look older, sure. But I’d rather see a (formerly pretty) dude own his hairline.

He’s been covering up with his trademark beanie cap for months. And finally, we are able to see why. Jude Law showed up for the Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows premiere in Paris last night displaying what looked like drastic hair loss.

Having refused to bare his head for months, even when pressed during interviews, Jude looked perfectly relaxed doing so last night, grinning alongside Sherlock director Guy Ritchie.

Jude meanwhile was only too happy to mingle with the throng of excited fans who turned up to see him, even appearing to suggest a photo opportunity with some. The 38-year-old has not been seen without a cap, beanie or smart hat since October, even sporting the look on the red carpet.

The award winning actor was quizzed on his unusual headgear on Graham Norton’s chat show in December. Despite audience chants of ‘off, off’ the father-of-four refused to remove his woolly hat, claiming he had a terrible hairstyle which he has to keep for his latest film role.

‘I’ve been scalped for my new film and I’ve got had the most heinous hair cut you have ever seen,’ he explained. ‘You’ll see it in a cinema next year.’

The actor has previously denied ever taking measures to tackle his receding hairline, following speculation that he has resorted to implants.

[From The Mail]

Yeah, I would still hit it. I can feel Jude impregnating me with his eyes as we speak. Sure, he was beautiful when he was 25 – WHO WASN’T?!?! I’d much rather knock boots with a dude who is in a place in his life where he just accepts that he’s not longer “the pretty boy.”

  1. He looks so HOT with less hair. I have a thing for bald/balding guys who own it and to me this is the hottest he’s looked in years!

    He has a nice enough shaped head that he could just shave it all off and still look okay. I think that if I were a guy and things started receding bad enough I’d just shave the whole darn thing off.

    Well, that little patch right in the middle of his head reminds me of a woman’s slightly trimmed bush. So…sexy, I guess (depending on how you feel about pubic hair).

    Its a lot sexier when someone just embraces what they’ve got going on instead of trying to sham all of us into thinking something different. We know you are balding – and none of us care.

    Fortunately for him, he is balding in front. That can give an intelligent, aristocratic, and at the same time, masculine, look. Guys who lose their hair in the back, getting that tonsured look, don’t fair as well.

    I’m happy that Jude accepted, and is now rocking, his baldness/hairline receding. He looks so much more comfortable without the beanie. In his twenties, he was gorgeous, but now that he’s getting older, he’s just getting sexier. I would have smashed the sh-t out of the Lawdong then, and I was still smash it now.

    Very sexy face, but his hair reminds me of Woolly Willy… you know, that cheap game where you put the magnetic shavings to make ‘hair’ for Willy? He ought to just shave it really close, or off entirely.

    I think the little area in the front that hasn’t receded as much is plugged. You can almost see the holes in the shots where he’s looking down a bit and they look like they’re in rows. I think he was okay with receding a bit but couldn’t deal with the hairline going straight back.

    SEXY! Less hair means he has loads of testosterone. More testosterone = increased sexual desire. Think about it.

    The problem with Jude Law is that he’s too beautiful, perfect looking guy. It’s more painful to see him lose hair (see Brendan Fraiser). Going bald is easier for men with manly features and burly physique (Jason Statham, Bruce Willis).

  98. renata says:

    no offense Kaiser, but I think you have this one all wrong. The reason he was wearing the beanie for awhile is because that IS a transplant in the front. That sort of “V” shaped area towards the forehead is all from plugs–

    Otherwise, I think he looks fine with or without it — there’s no accounting for men and hair vanity. Law was probably going to look pretty good regardless of what he did or didn’t do with his hairline.

    NEWSFLASH to everyone saying he’s a cheater: All the skanks who he was involved with cheated on HIM first. (And he was already(and allow me to spell it out for you)D-I-V-O-R-C-E-D when he met Whorenna Miller. The majority of you brain trusts seem to ERRONEOUSLY think that he was banging her while married. (This is because you are too lazy to look up what actually happened instead of getting all of your info from TABLOIDS not fit for filling up cat litter boxes.) NOT TRUE. His ex-wife filed for divorce because she said he was “controlling”–BECAUSE HE DIDN’T WANT HER BANGING KATE MOSS WHILE THEY WERE MARRIED. Gee, yeah, that sounds controlling to me too. Because EVERYONE is THRILLED to know that their wife is BANGING SOMEONE ELSE. NOT.

    As far as the nanny thing and Whorenna Miller, in addition to her screwing everything that moved during their relationship and partying all night, when all he wanted was for her to stay home and be with him, he just got tired of her ignoring him. Hence seeking affection from the nanny. BFD. He wasn’t MARRIED. TO ANYONE. Just supposedly engaged to someone who wanted to bang other men.

    His ex-trainwreck wife, Psycho Sadie Frost wanted to bang KATE MOSS instead of him–he NEVER cheated on her. SHE even SAID THIS. SHE cheated on HIM with that slag. Plus she wanted to swing with other couples while she was married to him. WTF? All of you little girls on here don’t know EXCREMENT about him, only what the puke-me-out tabloids have ever reported, which is 99% B.S. So, DIE.

    I realize everyone who’s dissed him as a man whore—HE’S NOT–have attention spans the length of a gnat’s and probably aren’t out of high school yet (or are 40-something and are STILL MENTALLY 15), so you wouldn’t have the fortitude to peruse any REAL information on him that didn’t come out of the friggin’ Enquirer or US magazine. It’s like your gospel. I get it.

    SECOND–he hasn’t had hair plugs—he’s had the same effing hairline for the last 6-7 years ago. When his hair is short like this, the hairline is obviously more noticeable. DUH. You can look at TONS of pics and see that whenever his hair is longer, the hairline looks less severe. WHO CARES????

    THIRD–he’s hotter like this anyway. Was NEVER a fan when he was the golden boy—too “pretty”. Age on him sits well—he’s so much more masculine and rugged looking. Give me this ANY day over some 25-year old flavor of the day. He’s HOT no matter how you spell it, and his face is so beautiful, he could paint his head green and I’d STILL want babies with him –that in itself is AMAZING, because I HATE kids. But Jude’s—no problem. I’d have them in a nano-second.

    He’s PERFECT. PERIOD.
